One warning though about mechanical pencils. Be careful with them when the point is extended. I accidentally tore a leather couch with a mechanical pencil whose point was extended. Imagine what it could do to a person.
I wish Amazon in the US would sell the Blick Premier Mechanical pencil. Amazon sells it on their Japanese website.
Unfortunately, after about a year and a half or two, the central yellow plastic piece (0.9mm version) breaks. This has happened with both pencils I've owned. Each time, its broken around the threads (see picture), and because this plastic piece holds the rest of the pencil together, it basically renders the pencil useless after it breaks. I've never been overly rough with the pencil, and only take it apart maybe twice a year, so I think this piece just gets old and brittle after a while.
That being said, 2 years is a pretty long time for a mechanical pencil to last. The rest of this pencil has basically no chance of breaking with normal use. If it wasn't for the plastic piece giving out, I'd probably still be on my first one. And yes, the proprietary eraser refills are a bit annoying, but they're pretty cheap and unusually last quite a while despite their small size. I can definitely still recommend this pencil to anyone looking for that "premium" experience.

They are nice and comfortable, fit in my hand and write fantastic! I have 2 of them and would definitely buy again if/when these ones kick the bucket. I use them for carpentry and they are perfect. They are accurate and always keep a point.
I can't think of anything negative to write about these so I highly recommend them.
Le seul petit bémol est la molette permettant de se souvenir de quel type de mine on y a mis (Hb, 2H, ...). Elle est trop lâche et de ce fait il arrive qu'on la fasse tourner par mégarde. Mais, comme ce n'est qu'un gadget, ça ne gêne en rien dans leur utilisation.
Si vous avez besoin de ce genre d'objet, je vous conseille d'acheter cette gamme, ça fait des mois que je les utilise (j'ai toute la gamme car je les utilise pour faire du dessin) et je n'ai aucun problème avec, ils sont toujours en très bon état.
