I don't know what the one reviewer expects from a "mechanical" pencil unless they want to sharpen a 7mm lead. But different strokes for different folks. I have been trying these and they are amazing. I'm surprised at how well they work.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Pencil Ever!, October 26, 2005

This review is from: Dixon(R) Ticonderoga(R) SenseMatic Mechanical Pencils, 0.7 mm, Yellow Barrel, Box Of 12 (Office Product)

I know, big claim. These mechanical pencils automatically feed the pencil lead - no clicking, never a "dry" stroke (until all the lead is gone!). The 0.7mm lead writes extremely well. Since I hate the waste of a disposable yellow shell, I buy lead refills and add one manually by pulling the tan-colored cone off the bottom, usually until the eraser is used up.

I'm unsure why they're so hard to come by these days. It could be because they have problems manufacturing - the tan cone often has splits in it.

This is the best mechanical pencil I've ever found! I don't know where it came from - just appeared on my desk at my office one day and I fell in love with it the moment I used it. I don't understand the negative reviews of this product at all. I'm a bookkeeper and its perfect for me! I do agree with other reviewers, however that I can't seem to find them anywhere. I know I'm keeping mine in a secret hiding place in my desk so someone else doesn't grab it!
