Pentel Graph Gear 1000 Mechanical Pencil, 0.5mm (PG1015)

First of all, the value. I looked in many stores and found this device selling usually for over $20.00. It seems the art stores really gouge the real time shoppers. So, for about $10.00 I found this one. It even came in the mail a day or two early......great! It looks great, it feels great and it works great! Probably the only thing that seemed a bit odd was the rather large multipurpose pocket clip/retractor. Thats OK though. That part is really well made and pinned nicely. I don't think you will lose this one easily if you are going to carry it in your shirt pocket. It came loaded with HB lead and I like the fact that it used the standard Pentel erasers as well. I find that this model extends the lead perfectly every time! The lead holder retracts with a healthy snap. I feel confident that this unit is built well and will last a very long time. I bought the silver finished model of which is very beautiful to look at and to hold! Unless you are extremely particular, I don't think you can go wrong buying this nice little unit, especially if you can find it for $10.00. =KL=

Amazing product, I use it everyday at school and it hasn’t caused me any trouble:)

As a lifetime draftsman and artist, I found these pencils to be one of my favorites. Comfortable fit for my hand, excellent quality, cool retractable tip.

This is the best mechanical pencil I have used. I have always loved mechanical pencils and loved drafting back in the day. Through the years I have always liked the feel and control of a good mechanical pencil. I guess those days are passing by, and I was surprised when I came across this pencil. It's slim, and easy to hold. The rubber grip works really well. The lead indicator display is great, and I like the retract mechanism. My only gripe is the eraser. Like many mechanical pencils, its tiny and really doesn't do the job very well. I don't mind that much, since I tend to use a drafting eraser for most of that. The mechanics are great, but lets face it - it looks really really cool! It oozes precision, and as an Engineer, I love that. It comes in some stunning colors, and I love just having it on my desk.

Best mechanical pencil. I love this brand!

This pencil feels great to use. It has just the right amount of weight—heavy enough to feel solid and comfortable, but not so heavy that it tires your hand. The tip protection mechanism is especially well-designed and makes the pencil feel even more durable and professional. Excellent quality overall.

Excellent weight. As pictured and described. Well made. Love that you can snap back the tip. Excellent product

I really wasn't sure if there was any truth to the hype over this pencil, so I resisted trying it for the longest time. Then, when I saw the price come down, I decided to give it a try. Wow! It is prefectly balanced and the absolute BEST pencil to travel with! It has a cool feature that retracts the led when you're finished. Love that!! I also love the fact that I can specify which type of lead I load into the pencil. I just purchased a second one, as I really want to have one for colored led at the ready and one for graphite on the go. It's comfortable to hold, draw and write with. Just as a warning, you will need a separate eraser, as the one that is in the top is miniscule (fine for removing tiny marks), but I don't see that as a drawback. Just wanted to make that clear to anyone looking at this pencil for whatever you plan to use it for.

✅ Pros: ➔ Peso adecuado. ➔ Cómodo. ➔ Puedes indicar la dureza de la mina (H, HB, B, 2B). ➔ Punta retráctil. ➔ Resistente. ❌ Contras: ➔ Ninguno. ⭐ Mi experiencia con el producto: He estado probando este portaminas para dibujar o escribir, y puedo decir que es un buen portaminas. Que la punta sea retráctil me quita el miedo a llevármelo a cualquier lado. Me gusta que pueda indicar el tipo de dureza para no olvidar qué mina tengo puesta. He probado otros portaminas y este tiene un peso adecuado que lo hace cómodo al usarlo. ✦ Conclusión: Si me hace falta otro portaminas, lo volveré a comprar de nuevo. Totalmente recomendado.👍

Je l adore . Ce crayon est parfait , il est robuste et tient bien en main . Je l utilise tous les jours pour mes croquis et dessins . J en ai plusieurs de la marque et je ne suis jamais déçue . Le prix qui peut paraître excessif pour certain est totalement justifié en regard de la qualité

Amazing pencil, showed no signs of wear even after a year of daily use. Still works just like the day I got it. It has a nice weight to it - it's just light enough so that your hand won't get tired while writing, while still heavy enough to feel premium, and at this price, this is definitely the best pencil you can get for your money.

I gave this Pentel mechanical pencil 5 stars because it’s absolutely perfect for drawing, sketching, and line art. The textured grip at the bottom makes it incredibly comfortable to hold and control. It has a very sharp, precise lead, and the best part is the retractable tip—it protects the sleeve from getting damaged when you carry it around. Highly recommended for any artist!

I ordered 0.5 mm graphite pencil but it came 0.3 mm . Pencil is good quality but I was not satisfied because of wrong item.
