Folks should be aware that the Jinhao 992 is fast becoming notorious for cracking issues with its plastic. (Think early-TWSBI-era troubles.) There's a whole thread on FPN where we're sharing our tales of woe. For a $1.50 pen, still I feel I got my money's worth, but it's amazing how much (and how fast) the cracks in my pen are expanding with gentle use. I've only used mine at my desk. Never dropped it. Never posted it.
