Pen Holder typical "I made China": Plastic pure - but functional (only the front ring and the spring are made of metal).
(Anyone who wants can buy higher quality lead holder in the sign Requirements: Holder for "Clutch pencil").
Mines should not be too far protrude from the lead holder also - otherwise they break.
but what 5 star is missing: a simple Spitzer (would not cost much more) must be specially concerned - I as a manufacturer would have to fix them as indispensable ....
