I write with my left hand and like larger sized pencils. The pack I received contained both a red and a gray colored Paper Mate Clear Point Elite mechanical pencil, along with two spare eraser refills and a case of 0.7mm lead. The rubber texture feels much better and is more durable as compared to its non-Elite cousins. Other areas where the Elite version has improved are the twisting of the eraser and the removal of the eraser cap. The eraser stays in place much better and will not twist back into the eraser cap as easily. The eraser cap also stays put much better and will not fly off when flipping the pencil over to use the eraser.
It is possible to clean the mechanical pencil by using a wet wipe to remove the graphite stains that accumulate on the rubber over time. Please note not to attempt to remove the button that advances the lead; otherwise, this may damage the part and render the mechanical pencil useless.
I find that this mechanical pencil also uses lead down to a smaller bit compared to some of the other standard mechanical pencils that I have used.
Reasons you may want to use this mechanical pencil are:
Comfort + Long lasting large eraser + Larger lead reservoir + and reduced lead breakage + efficient lead usage.
