The DelGuard utilizes an ingenious two-part system that makes it virtually impossible to break the lead.
First, a spring in the barrel of the pencil lets the lead slide back into the pencil instead of breaking if too much vertical pressure is applied.
Second, another spring in the tip dynamically extends the lead guard to protect the lead when too much sideways pressure is applied.
It may sound complicated, but it really works! And without the annoyance and interruption of breaking leads, you'll find your concentration greatly improving.
This Type-ER DelGuard also features an innovative eraser that makes correcting mistakes faster than ever.
The eraser extends from the top cap automatically whenever you turn the pencil upside down.
The eraser locks into place and stays put while you use it, then drops effortlessly back into the cap when you turn the pencil over again.
This pencil also features a comfortable rubber grip section, a roll stop in place of a clip, and two replacement erasers.
