Lost one star for inconvenience
This weighted pencil holder is not a bad product. The grip on it is large, so if your kid is more comfortable with a bigger pencil to grip, it's got that covered. The outer portion isn't squishy, it's sort of a sandy grip, which isn't a bad thing either. The trouble is that you need to attach this using a tiny allen wrench to tension the grip onto the pencil, which means that you have to have the wrench out EVERY TIME THE PENCIL NEEDS SHARPENING. My boys mash their pencils into the paper, resulting in many broken pencil tips. The allen wrench never gets put away, greatly increasing the likelihood that it'll be lost. There has to be a better way to make this grip adhere to the pencil, but other than that, it's a great device for helping kids that need this kind of aid.<br /><br />******BE ADVISED********<br /><br />This listing was not for the kit, I only purchase (as per the listing) the delux grip third from the top. It's a bit pricey for what you get, and I've found a better option, so you might want to see if you can find this locally so you can have a look at it before you buy.
