I purchased the pencil to replace the one I dropped and broke. The pencil is the best mechanical pencil I have used. Delivery was prompt and the price excellent.

This is the second pencil I have ordered (different point size) to maintain my drafting set. Excellent! Thank you for prompt service.

Excellent quality! Exactly what I wanted.

These are the finest of quality. I have been in the surveying profession since 1977 and the pencil is a major tool of my trade.

Without a doubt, these pencils are the best field and office drawing partners I have ever owned. I bought my first set in the late 1990's when Koh-I-Noor Technical pencils I was using for drafting were no longer available. I rank these above the Koh-I-Noor because of the non-slip body of the unit.

The DRAFT?MATIC has a good weight in the hand, is smooth in operation and can be used in a "LEROY" lettering machine or drafting.

I use the .03mm, .05mm, .07mm & .09mm in drafting and field note preparation as well as an additional .07mm with blue lead & .09mm with red lead. Colored leads are softer than the typical "H" leads I use.

 

<p>Alvin draftmatic mechanical pencils compare favorably with more expensive mechanical pencils I have used . Similar in feel to rOtring 600 at a fraction of the cost. Highly recommended. Dew drafting supplies shipped them fast , packaged right at a great price.</p>

Happy to have found my favorite drafting pencil. Thank you.
