pros: you get three pencils and a lot of replacement lead which will last for ages. they look nice and have a good weight. its easy to install new lead. have been pretty durable, we haven't been using the cap overs and the lead seems fine. cons: the lead writes very light, so schools will most likely not allow. the tip can be fragile, meaning the whole top insert comes off (the lead screws on/off separately to the top insert). had to glue some of the inserts back in. the pencils can be a bit slippery since they are so smooth. finally, they are thicker than a normal pencil, so toppers like erasers will not fit.

I’m glad I don’t have to constantly sharpen the pencil for my kids but it doesn’t write dark…you’ll have to push hard but then it chipped. Read more

The feel and look is nice, but the mark is very faint compared to a normal pencil. Have no doubt they'll last forever, bit I'm not using them much really... nice thing to have though, probably for travel where a mechanical or normal pencil would be inconvenient. Read more

As a novelty, this is excellent. It does indeed mark similar to a pencil. But don’t expect dark printing. It leaves a rather faint mark that is difficult to see in low light. I’m also not thrilled with the rather top-heavy balance, or the large cap. Apparently the lines can be erased, but I’ve not rounded up anything to give it a try. It would be nice if there was an eraser built into the top end, like a real pencil. I’ll also comment that though there are extra nibs in case you need to replace the original I’m sure I will have no idea where they might be if that need arises. It would be nice if the extra could be stored inside the pencil shaft. As for what I really like? Of course it’s nice to think it could last a lifetime. And it’s pretty cool to write without the point disappearing. So far the best surprise was that I used it as a scribe to mark where I needed to hang a series of decor pieces. It left a bit of a mark, but the best was that it was able to start a hole for the nails to go in. That was handy for areas that were a bit difficult to reach. Overall, it is fun and useful.

Le tre matite infinite sono bellissime e scrivono veramente bene. Il tratto è come quello di una matita HB! Nella foto ho messo a confronto i due tratti e sono praticamente indistinguibili. Arrivano con tre punte di ricambio. Le cannucce hanno una venatura meravigliosa e un bordo dorato. Nella foto si vede la differenza tra quella rossa, che ho usato di più, rispetto a quella nera, che è praticamente nuova: una certa usura si nota, per cui per mantenerla abbastanza appuntita suppongo che si debba ruotare via via che si usa, per non consumarla sempre dalla stessa parte. Si cancella bene, come le matite HB, con una normale gomma. Ne ho anche un'altra con la punta "argentata", ma scrive come una matita di durezza F, quindi il tratto è molto chiaro e non mi piace usarla. AGGIORNAMENTO: le matite sono fantastiche, ma la punta che si consuma, e non si può affilare, nel tempo rende il tratto meno preciso. Read more
