I now have 6 of these ranging from 0.3 to 0.9 mm. The tip retracts when the clip is raised and extends again when the top is pressed. This eliminates any damage to the tube that extends beyond the tip and holds the lead - the single biggest cause of catastrophic damage. It is made largely from silver anodised aluminium that looks very fine. However there is some plastic used to make the hardness sleeve - you can twist this to note the hardness/softness of the lead through a little window. There may be more inside but I have not stripped it down to see. There is also some soft plastic, probably silicon rubber that form non-slips nodules. These can be seen in the photograph as four rings of dark eclipses. I would rather these non-recyclable materials were not used as they will inevitably fail with age. Otherwise I believe these would last for years and years. Why were these not designed and made in England?Read full review
