Bolt Action Pencil

I love it, I like how you can change lead sizes

I'm a nerd when it comes to pens (fountain, titanium, bolt action) and mechanical pencils (all brass until now). I already had the same design pen, and absolutely love it. The pencil is just as nice. I love that you have the option of different lead sizes, all in one pencil. The design is perfect, and I like having the matching set of the pen and pencil now.

Simply the best, better than all the rest! Where has this pencil been my entire life? I love it

The first time I saw this pencil, I knew I had to buy it. Not just because it has a solid construction but also because it is retractable. I saw many other machined titanium pencils but Big Idea Design version is much better for me. Retractable mechanism is a must for me, as I keep the pencil on my desk or in my pocket most of the time. Also you get 3 sizes of mechanism, which is really great.

Big Idea Desings has a history of creating wonderful and well executed products. In fact, the classic bolt action pen is my favorite writing instrument produced by them. I regret buying this pencil instead of purchasing another bolt action pen. This pencil did not lived up to my expectations. The bolt mechanism is fiddly and has a habit of pinching my thumb. Furthermore, advancing the lead, without retracting Schmidt insert is nearly impossible for me to do. As a result, I am not able to use this writing instrument effectively or efficiently. I should have read more reviews before purchasing this particular product. I commend Big Idea Design on their innovative ability and look forward to see what they produce next.
