I very badly wanted a pencil that I could use for writing in my planner, but that I could leave a lead sticking out and wouldn't break when I dropped it or when I wrote hard with it. I wanted the pencil to make a serious mark, dark and thick enough that I can't miss it, but not so thick that it'd smear or that it looked like a little kid scribbled in my book. This fits the bill, perfectly. I wish they made these when I was in school. I used to use 0.7mm pencils like my dad, and those are fine for when I'm working on a project that requires thinner lines -- but for general use, these 0.9mm pencils are just wonderful!!
