Rolling on the floor laughing at that one, indeed!!

So, Bob, should I ask this here, or in the pencil chat? What's a Pilot 3005? I tried looking it up and found very little about it online. The little I saw, it looked like a much more durable version of the Sanford Extend, the latter being a well-constructed but mostly plastic pencil. It looked like the 3005 is mostly (or all?) metal, is that true?

Is it the same as the Pilot Automat?
