The first disappointment of Faber-Castell

I am a long-time advocate of this company and was so far convinced of each of their graphite products and hey, I'm still. It's just the technical implementation of the pen holder that bothers me here.

Form,
considerably thicker than in ordinary pencils, that was clear. Is actually comfortable to hold as long as the stylus as a pen or a pen is out. Once you draw on a larger area and the attitude of a brush rather similar, it gets bad spasmodic, not to mention uncomfortable! When the grip pencils which is not the case.

The Material,
looks cheap. Yes it is plastic, but plastic can be somewhat-quality and heavier. Above all, the cap of erasers - what a nice idea seems to be yes, in and of itself - is a bad joke and it works every time as if one makes the pin broken when it decreases. The eraser itself is also inferior. He erases only small areas and only the most superficial layer, but should be high probably rather designed to last.

The Druchmechanismus,
is ultimately the reason why I have replaced this pin. I try to explain. The front metal tip of the actual Minenhaltest is not rigid, it moves with when you touch it. Pressing out the mine, so moving out himself. If you touch it in writing, so it moves out again, leaving the mine alone and naked outside, what a very unpleasant writing sensation brings mitsich. Mir is the mine but only very rarely canceled! What more the outstanding quality of the FC-graphite mines, however, thanks to this and not inferior product.

Alternatively, I have brought with Rotring Tikky mechanical pencil for 3.5 Euros. The fulfilled his job much better. It is more stable, the pressure mechanism has more bite, is while drawing significantly better in the hand and is simply unbeatable in combination with the leftover Faber-Castell mines :)
