(Yes I know this is a joke thread, but for those who genuinely want to know)

Is it good

Meh, they’re ok. There’s a spring inside that makes it have some “give” when writing so you’re less likely to break the lead. Eraser is ok quality. It’s a thicker lead too (0.7 iirc). They are meant to be disposable though which is dumb, although you can force it open and refill it if you’re stubborn about it.

They’re useful for when you need to write a long way in pencil without the line getting fat or taking time to sharpen. Like maybe an essay exam in bluebooks. Its been a long time but iirc there’s room inside for extra leads and maybe also a spare eraser.
