If you ever had a zebra you know how amazing these are and if not, here's a chance to get one.
If it's not free shipping it's not worth it.

A pencil is a pencil, but the pens are amazingly smooth.

This makes me cringe, there are many different calibers of pencils, and you should be ashamed of yourself.  Dont make a statement like that until you try a quality pencil.  Yes the writing comes out similar (though the same applies to pens) but on a good pencil, the lead rarely breaks.

What does the lead have to do with the pencil?!?
 When I use up the lead which comes in the zebra package, I put in some other companies lead and you will always have a time where the lead cracks!
 A pen is much different where as some are gel pens and some fine point and...

With poor quality mechanical pencils, the pencil itself will quickly break. I was happy to snap this up

Precisely! This is a stainless steel body as oppose to a plastic disposable bic one that comes 12 in a pack

I am not saying Zebra pencils are any better.  But try a Kuru Toga pencil 0.5 mm (only $5 on Amazon) it has an internal mechanism that rotates the lead every time you pick up the pencil from the paper.  This keeps the tip always sharp and reduces lead breakage.  For somebody who uses a pencil daily, I swear by this pencil.  During normal use the lead doesnt break (which reduces the amount of lead you use), and you never have to worry about a blunt point.

All I am saying is, dont mock pencils until you actually use them and understand them.  A quality pencil makes a huge difference.
