I've used these since my college days, I wouldn't use anything else.

For the record. The 0.3mm lead version of this pencil is yellow, not black. It's also a little obvious on the zoomed in version of this product pic that the lead size information has been blurred out.

I have a Draftmatic thats over 10 years old and it still works great, it has been my go to mechanical pencil for years. I bought the set to diversify the lead sizing for various applications and so far so good. I hope the newer ones are built just as good as the older models as I have noticed some design changes.

Great mechanical pencil set. Alvin has always had great products. Happy to see them come back. I have the old-style Draft/Matic and wanted to get the new style. DEW was fast and easy to order. Fast shipping. Better price than Amazon. The only small issue was you don't get the box that is shown. Wanted it for display on my desk.

Thanks for still having these available.
