For the price, it is just below what I would expect, and I wish there was an easier way to get more out of the eraser once it gets used down since taking the eraser out shows that there is more eraser inside below the metal clip. Otherwise, it is indeed the best mechanical pencil I have ever used, and mechanical pencils > wooden pencils, and I would recommend this as a buy it for life item (although I've only had it for around a month so far).
