Let me start off with saying that this is THE pencil I use for just about anything. Tests, sudoku, writing; a year of constant use has proven to me that this is a worthy utensil.

Pros:
Retractable Eraser
Amazing Grip
Balanced Body Structure

Cons:
Feels somewhat flimsy due to light weight

The Technician II has a retractable eraser, small in width which is replaceable. This bad boy is useful for all that precision erasing you have to do. The grip, a patterned rubber, allows for long sessions of writing without strain on your fingers. The body structure, long and slender, makes the Technician II look amazing; the black color scheme with silver details just screams technical user (a nice parallel.)

The only complaint I have ever even thought about is the weight. This pencil is very light. After a while you get used to it. However, although it is lightweight; it is extremely sturdy and built to last. Hopefully it will last past these 1.5 years with the continuous wear and tear I employ.

Enjoy if you purchase this fine pencil.

This is the only pencil I use. I have two of these and use them more or less every day for nine years, they're still going strong. When will Sanford bring them back?

I am currently an engineering student, and I use this pencil for every single one of my homework assignments and tests. I can't see myself using anything else. The only complaint I could have is that I can't find replacements for the eraser.
