Pentel GraphGear 500 Mechanical Drafting Pencil, (0.5mm), Fine Line, Refill Lead and Mini Eraser (PG525LEBP)

Where do I begin? Long story short: It's one of the best pencils I've ever used, and I've used alot of different kinds over the years. It has a great feel to it, a nice balance when you're holding it. The knurling on the grip is some of the best around, it stays firmly in your hand when using. The lead doesnt move around and it doesnt break leads. All around a great pencil for the price. It's the only pencil you'll need really. You won't be disappointed!

New favorite pencil!! Writes so smooth and lead is sturdy and barely smudges. Grip is quite uncomfy for note taking but that was expected, I just put a grip on it and it’s totally fine! I love the quality of this pencil, feels really nice for the price!

It’s a Pentel mechanical pencil, so obviously great. This particular model is so well made, has a great grip, is generally outstanding. Love it so much I have like six of them.

Some prefer the the sleeker metal tube design of the (more expensive) GraphGear 1000, the finesse of the (much more expensive) Rotring, or the lead-sharpening technology of the Kura Toga. But for our purposes (math homework, pencil art sketches, science data journals) this pencil can't be beaten. The long metal sleeve never jams, and gives you a better view of the contact area for detail work. Each click advances just the right amount of lead, not so much that you get breaks, and not so little that you need to click again often. The metal grip area feels super sturdy and the grip checkering holds the pencil firmly with no slippage. But it's not scratchy or uncomfortable to hold (like the GraphGear 1000 might feel to some). I like the versatility of 05.mm lead. But my son prefers the lead durability and thicker lines of the 0.7mm model, so we got both. This is a premium-feature pencil at a very reasonable price. Highest recommendation.

I love drawing with this pencil! The extra weight and design on the grip allows a better handling. The value is pretty outstanding for the cost! I highly recommend this pencil for artists or anyone who needs a reliable drafting pencil. I also appreciate the extra led and smaller, but still high quality, eraser! Pencil also seems pretty durable and pretty good quality.

Pens and pencils have a field to them and it should feel good in your hand. This one does but not I’ll do for everyone. Mechanically works fine. Pento makes a good product.

Great for sketching. The lines are clean and easily erasable when needed. There are probably fancier mechanical pencils out there, but I find this one more than meets my needs. Plus it won't break the bank!

Bought because I need a single pencil that’ll last me throughout the years, love the design and it’s very good quality

I love this pencil but there were a couple issues: - the end bent, thus breaking leads whenever extruded. *be careful* - weighted far to close to the tip for my preference. good things: - Pocket clips are removable if you don't like it. - The eraser and extra leads are very welcome. - Great build quality. - Really nice feeling when you push out a bit of lead.

Muy buen producto

As mechanical pencils go, this one will keep you satisfied for long. Okay for writing becuase of its gritty grip, but accurate and excellent for drawing, drafting, and any work that requires precision. Build quality is great too. No creaky plastic and strong body. Lead breaks though, so be careful about dropping it.

Para el regreso a clases me quedó perfecto, gran parte de las actividades que realizamos en mi posgrado incluyen trazos y dibujos, así que compre un par de lapiceros para comparar y este fue el que mejor funcionó para mí. El cuerpo es de plastico, que es el único defecto que le veo (por la posible durabilidad), pero después de uso constante no ha mostrado señal de desgaste, y la parte activa (que es la punta) está hecha de metal, que se siente de mucha calidad además de que es algo pesado y es muy cómodo en mi caso particular. Después de utilizar un lapicero de calidad, ya no hay vuelta atrás. El paquete incluye goma de borrar y un dispensador de puntillas muy útil. En general es un gran producto, con materiales de calidad, si vaz a dedicar mucho tiempo a dibujar o a hacer trazos precisos recomiendo ampliamente comprar un lapicero de calidad.

En si es muy bueno, solo que después de unas semanas de uso se rompió y ya no sirvio, pero durante su uso era exelente y tenía unos trazos buenos, creo que lo usé muy rudo
