SAKURA COLOR PROD AMERICA Sumo Grip 0.5mm Mechanical Pencils (SAK37932)

Great pencil, the grip makes its feel comfortable and less delicate. I use this to draw all the time

This pencil has been a life saver for me over the years.I draw and write constantly, almost every day. But I have an extreme anxiety problem leading to an over gripping issue that caused carpal tunnel and finger issues.Before I had carpal tunnel surgery using these pencils helped keep me from pain and losing feeling as often.I still use them because they help me from over gripping (which was causing issues in my fingers due to pressure and causing my fingers to lock into odd positions) and are just comfortable.They're more expensive sometimes and I have to order them online but they're worth it.The fact that they offer it in 0.5 is a big time bonus for me, as that is my preferred lead size.OH! And one of my favorite features is the long twist eraser that comes right out of the pencil. You can buy refills easily again online.I am ALWAYS willing to spend the couple extra bucks or so for one of these pencils. Sakura is part of one of my favorite art supply companies ever. I lucked out this time, after waiting and shuffling my cart a million times, running across it at a really good price. I never regret these pencils.-- only thing I get annoyed by is the long/ thick/ nondetachable pocket clip. You can detach it but it takes the entire top of the pencil with and it just looks so odd. haha.

I am a student of manga drawing. A student as in the case of trying to learn it on my own.I am always looking at drawing materials and on impulse purchased this mechanical pencil. This is a nice pencil. Though I would wonder if it's better suited for writing then drawing. I like it for minor sketching and doodling. I am not skilled enough to declare it good for serious drawing.In the past I was kind of a hard holder of writing tools. To the point you would find a dent in my middle finger. I changed to mechanical pencils like this one and started using Sakura pens and in time found that dent disappeared.It's not cheap and yet I found it's worth the extra cost. I have dropped it a couple times and it still works. I have had a couple theme pencils and they broke when I dropped them.I am happy with this purchase.

Quality is great! Love the size of the pencil and the grip it gives you is really nice. The size is perfect to get sketches to flow but not too big it takes getting used to.

Favorite pencil. Unfortunately, the reseller put an ugly sticker on it that's difficult to remove.

This pencil is wonderful to write with and has lasted years. I was given one in 2003 and used it with no issues for 20 years. I searched far s as bs wide for this pencil, and finally found it here. Naturally I had to get on and of course it is if the same quality as my first one. Buy it! You’ll love it.

Clear color is a bit bland, but I can change that. Functionality is great though

I bought five of these and have them all over the house! Great easy to hold design, love this pencil!
