Caran D'Ache FixPencil - world’s first mechanical pencil (3 MM)

Really good and sturdy pencil I use it for wood working and this is the only pencil I use I wish they included 3mm sharpener 2

My son in law, is very pleased with it

In general, this lead holder lived up to my expectations: it can take a 3mm lead core (eg, Col-erase Pencil, colored pencil, graphite, etc) and keep it nice and tight. It’s well made, but plastic, so it feels light; no big deal for me, thought the sharpener feels cheap and insecure - it rattles on a loose mechanism. For a $40 CDN pencil, it’s overpriced, IMHO, but with so few 3mm holders on the market, there’s not many alternatives. For my hands, an extra half an inch would help with good drawing holds further up from the nib.In all, a good tool to get the job done, but how long will it last? Looks nice, but doesn’t look the price.

Sehr guter Fallminenstift, aber missverständliche Artikelbeschreibung. Aus „assortiert“ interpretiere ich wie im Englischen assortment, dass sortierte Kappen dabei sind. Es ist aber nur eine dabei. Und wenn man das vorher gewusst hätte, hätte ich gerne die Farbe selbst ausgewählt. Einfach irgendeine Farbe zu senden ist schlecht. Und wenn diese Bewertung nun auch wieder abgelehnt/rausgefiltert wird, schreibe ich garantiert nie wieder eine.

Loved this pencil so much I needed more as it is so well made. It works and is very durable due to being 50% thicker than the normal 2mm drafting pencil. It is a lifetime product worth the investment and you will not be disappointed.
