the papermate PhD  mechanical pencil is in perfect working condition, no damage, no usage marks. they are unused in new condition. Pencils are not in papermate packing, these are from a papermate distributor's old stock. collected from their bulk storage.  We will be sending you a gift pencil box along with this pen.  All pencils comes 3  leads in 0.5 mm size. 

Condition of the pencils :  these pencils were New old stock with a closing stockist , left over stock from a large quantity they procured for distribution.  all the pencils in stock is perfectly working fine. The barrel is 95% scratchless and it still maintains the original shine on glossy parts of the pencil.  The rubber grip is still in 90% perfect condition. Usually , old items  with rubber fittings has a melting problem which is not seen in this pencil.   we have tested  the pencils the following methods :

1.  the click unit is perfectly working, its easily removable from barrel by screw/unscrew method. each pencil we send will be tested for the perfect operation of the click unit, multiple tests.  we will make sure the entire unit is functionining and the leading is actually released thru the pencil tip.  If we found the lead is not released, we consider this as a defective unit, and we will not send to you.  

2.  We have loaded three 0.5mm leads to the reserve container, and the container holds them perfectly. 

3.  the tip is releasing the perfectly according to the release click. lead is tightly held at the tip, not loose. 

4.  the rubber eraser (original shipped with pencil) started showing signs of age, but we tested them erasing on paper and it works perfectly. however it is our assumption that these erasers might need a replacement if you leave them unused for few months (usual problem of an engineered rubber material).  you can still find replacement erasers on chinese web sites or with other leading pencil manufactures like faber castels. you can also make your own DIY rubber erasers from the classic erase blocks avaialable on bookstores. we have made few of them, and it works perfectly.
