Mechanical Pencil Reviews from a Student Still In School

Starting off, I got the idea of reviewing this pencil from Clutch Situation. He mentions a neat feature that is not found in pencils of this price range. Okay, that being said, the clutch of this pencil, unfortunately, is plastic. Ten clicks from the button produce about 8 mm of lead, but the mechanism is decently solid with a good sound. Now, there are 4 features I can see, a rubber grip, a metal clip, a cap (<$5), and a pipe slide mechanism. The grip has an interesting feel in the hand, the metal clip feels very sturdy, and the cap, well, that's always good. The pipe slide mechanism sells it for me though, despite not being my first choice. The pipe slide feature is a good idea, especially for a pencil this cheap, but my writing angle prevents me from benefitting the most from that feature. As for the construction, despite the plastic clutch, it feels sturdy in the hand, but there is still mostly plastic (it's Pentel, what do you expect me to do). Points?
