Review: I absolutely love this pencil! The color, the weight and feel of the writing experience. This is pretty much the same as the dr grip pen. Amazing! The eraser is a little small but the MS-10 pilot refills fit perfectly, and if you don't like that, just buy a click or slider eraser. Since this pencil didn't have a clip, I beaded a loop for easy carry, and this pencil fits into my zip pocket of my kokuyo campus novita clear book. Love! I feel that if you like the fatter pencils, or have cubital tunnel syndrome and tendonitis like me, you will find this pencil comfortable. The shake mechanism to bring the lead out is also a bonus and isn't super loud like I thought it would be. Extremely pleased!
Review: Pilot Dr. Grip pencils are pretty much my favorite, and have been for over 10 years. I started using them when I was in high school. Being someone who takes lots of notes AND is subjected to wrist/hand pain, I was looking for a comfortable mechanical pencil that could be used for extended period of time. The Pilot Dr. Grip is big (over 10mm in diameter), but it's mostly made of plastic, so it's also pretty light. Not too light though, because there's a metal tube inside that's part of the "shaker" mechanism, and that gives it just enough heft to make you feel like your holding something. It's pretty resistant. I've had one for over 10 years, used it pretty much everyday for at least 5 of those years, and it's still working like a charm (some of the paint eventually came off though, but meh...).The gel grip is nice to hold, and doesn't get slippery even if you hold it for hours. All those things means you don't need to put a lot of pressure to hold the pencil, which means less hand fatigue at the end of the day. I also have a basic Uni KuruToga (the green plastic model), and for me the Pilot Dr. Grip is by far the most comfortable to use, and the one I'll pick if I have the choice. The lead doesn't rotate to stay sharp like it does on a KuruToga, but this is a 0.5 mechanical pencil, so for me, it doesn't make much of a difference anyway. The "shaker" mechanism means you can just shake the pencil to extend the lead, so you don't have to really stop writing to do it, at least when you get used to it. You just do a little wrist move and BAM! new lead! That also means that if you tend to shake your pencil around for no reason, the lead may extend without you wanting it to. And you don't really control how far it extends (one "shake" is usually enough unless you want a super long point)... But you can always press the end cap to extend or push back the lead like you would on other mechanical pencils. There's also a small eraser hidden under that cap, but it's not really useful and will wear down quickly. This model is the "Play Border", and I got the pale green version. Basically, you can unscrew the metal point of the pencil, pull away the gel grip, and inside are 3 colored rubber-like colored pieces that you can rearrange like you want. You can also unscrew the pencil in the middle, and there's a small rolled acetate inside the clear part of the body that you can take out and decorate. I've put some stickers on mine because I don't have anything else nearby, but I'm fairly sure you could also draw on the acetate (with something like a Sharpie paint pen for example), or add other layers of acetate and drawings/stickers to make a neat little montage. There are plenty of other colors and models to choose from though, so if this one isn't really your thing, I'm sure you can find another you like. I have 2 old models (icy blue and pearl white), and as far as I can tell, they all give similar performances. It came with four leads inside the barrel, which is cool. They work nicely, but nothing miraculous. There is no indication of what grade/brand they are. I'm pretty sure they're just regular HB leads. Of course, you can easily switch them out for your favorites. TL;DR: Really, really good mechanical pencil. Get one!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What eraser does this use, size or type**
A: I wish I could take pictures of the ones I found that fit... well Daiso has this battery powered eraser that comes with erasers and those are really inexpensive like a $2.00. Also Amazon sells these Pilot MS-10 That fit but are expensive like $10.00, rediculous. I recommend just going to Office-Max and getting the  Staedtler hand held (old school chalkholder ) eraser and buy the Stardtler Mars Plastic 528 55 refills they erase BEAUTIFULLY and don't tear paper!!  Hope this information helps. 🤞😀

**Q: Does it have a shirt pocket clip?**
A: No, this pen does not come with a pocket clip.

**Q: Does the lead support tube auto retract slowly as you write & use up the lead like it does in the 2020?**
A: NO it does not retract as you write on this pencil version with the colored rings. That was a nice feature though but NO not on this one.

**Q: How do you disassemble the pencil to put stickers under the clear cover?**
A: Twist the tip of the pen to unscrew it, then without breaking the lead, take off the plastic ring. From now the grip should just slide off.
