Without doubt, the WORST alleged writing instrument I have EVER purchased, and I have purchased hundreds! Imagine the worst, cheapest, regular pencil that has been soaking in the ocean for years. Then you find it and attempt to write with it. It would be better than this POS! You cannot possibly see what is written! The writing looks ghost-like and BARELY visible, much less readable. I would be embarrassed, no, mortified if I had a friend or client try this poor excuse for a pen/pencil? I am SO disappointed! I want to know how to send this crap back ASAP! Used, excuse me, TRIED to use for one day! Had it for 48 and hours. It is still in the box, and sitting in my desk drawer for 47 hours and 50 minutes! TOTALLY unusable as a writing instrument, because it's NOT!
