Review on FineGood 8 pcs Pencil Extenders: One Head & Dual Head Metal Handle Pen Holder Lengthener – Ideal School, Office and Art Writing Tool by Katie Miller

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Pretty good value in stationery holders and dispensers

I think this is a good set of pencil extenders for the money. And these extensions fit the pencils I use every day: General's Carbon Sketch, my Staedtler HB-8B collection, and even my Mitsu-Bishi UNI 10B (thick pencil), my Primsa watercolor and regular colored pencils, and some of those Dixon # 2 HB standard pencils are so cool! What's not good for me is that the product was late - (everything happens and I understand) - but my more pressing issue is the twist lock. I've found these caps to be very stiff, so tight that in the future I may have to use pliers and/or a vise to unscrew the pin (because I don't have much strength in my hands these days). This is a more personal complaint, but one of the reversible extensions is faulty (one end came loose completely and the other end, once tightened, just twist/twist it over and over) - hence broken/faulty. Too bad because this set has been on my artist wish list for a while, not to mention I got them 3 days ago. However, I've decided not to bother with refunds just yet as the glory of extension cords really works. In summary, it has helped me save money in some aspects. Hope this helps others. Happy drawing!
