What to know before buying
- The manufacturer lists waterproofing and outdoor use, but the supplied details do not specify test conditions or a protection rating.
Listing details to confirm
Listing details are inconsistent about package contents: the title claims 24 refills, an eraser and six eraser refills, while the feature list describes 12 black 2B leads, 12 coloured leads, a 4B eraser, six cap eraser refills and a plastic case. The included-components field names only an eraser, so verify the selected listing’s kit before purchase. The model name is listed in Italian as “Set di matite meccaniche”.

Customer feedback highlights a sturdy feel, a pleasing weight on the page, smooth writing and versatility for writing and sketching. Some customers also value the colour options and visibility of the yellow pencil. These reports may matter for marking and general use, but they are perceptions rather than confirmation of the manufacturer’s durability or waterproofing claims. Opinions on erasability are mixed, which is worth considering if clean removal is important.
Positive themes
- Customers report sturdy construction and a satisfying weight on the page.
- Feedback praises smooth writing, use for both writing and sketching, and the colour options.
Mixed feedback
- Customer opinions about erasability are mixed.
