## Description

You don't even have to press the top of this pencil to extend the lead. It's a Shaker pencil, which means all you have to do is shake the pencil and the lead extends itself through an internal weight mechanism! The Flash color series comes in five body colors including: black, blue, pink, red and white. The pencils feature a layer of air between the rubber grip of the pencil and pencil body to allow a heat cooling effect, dispersing heat from fingers to keep hands cool even when you're under pressure. The pencil is a delight to the eyes and a delight to write with. It will be a colorful companion to the work or school place. Pencil and pens are available for the Dr. Grip line.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: is the grip squishy or hard?**
A: The grip is firm with a slight flex for comfort. Wide grip that is far more comfortable than a slender pencil. I recomend.

**Q: Does something move around on the inside of the pencil? (I received mine today and I am not sure if this is how it works or if it is broken)**
A: Mechanical pencil lead comes out when you shake the main body.

**Q: What is the overall length of the pencil itself? Without the packaging?**
A: Dear  Spaceman

Thank you  for your mail.

What is the overall length of the pencil itself?
About 6 inches.

Without the packaging?
With package.
