Zebra DelGuard Spring-Cushioned Pencil

The tip moves when your handwriting gets heavy.

Press a little too hard and the DelGuard’s mechanism gives the lead somewhere to go. Push sideways and a sleeve helps support the tip. The clear grip lets you see the hardware packed into what first looks like an ordinary pencil.

WHY IT CAUGHT OUR EYE

The interesting part is right where a pencil normally fails. A pair of springs handles pressure from different directions without asking you to change how you write.

BEFORE YOU BUY

Choose 0.5 mm refill lead for this white model. Extending a long length of lead beyond the tip defeats the protection.
