PentelMechanical Pencil for Draft, 0.5mm (PG5-AD)

An all-around fantastic mechanical drafting pencil for both work and play. The body feels lightweight in the hand, yet sturdy and well made. I enjoy the customization of pencil “hardness” and the sleek, modern design. Completely satisfied!

Very comfortable to write with and i like the design , quality is also good , I have a lot of other mechanical pencils but this one is my favorite so far.

I’m an architect, have tried lots of pencils over the years, and this one is my favorite. I always keep 1-2 spares around in case I lose mine. It’s lightweight, slender, and has a simple grip texture that’s easy on your skin. The barrel also slopes smoothly to the tip, with no awkward uncomfortable ridges. I don’t mind the lack of an eraser because I always use a separate high quality eraser anyway. You can definitely tell this classic pencil is from a different era—it has little features like the lead hardness indicator and built-in lead clearing tool.I wish it came with a few different colors of the little plastic lead hardness indicators so it’s easier to tell the difference at a glance if you have multiple pencils with multiple hardnesses.The interior mechanism is all metal, and these things last forever. The writing tip sleeve is very precise, with no wobbly lead. Pentel has kept making these for decades because they’re the best.

I really do love this pencil, so far it hasn't caused me any problems. Its very light which is useful when you have to write alot and it feels so good in my hands. Buying this i already knew that the point wasnt retractable, which sucks because now i need to be extra careful where i store the pencil so it wont break. The pencil itself feels pretty fragile, i feel like if i dropped it, it could break a part of it.

My son goes to college and is a bit of a snob, likes to show off and be the best dressed guy around. I gave him this pencil, and then he noticed other students admiring it. This pencil is what will set you apart from the masses. You take this out in class, and other notice. " Hey, where did you get that?"

My wife swears by this pencil. She owned one since her middle school days, but one of our kids broke it. Bought this exact same one for her. Tried and true, just a perfect pencil. I tried it too and found it to be very comfortable and solid all around.

exactly what I ordered no problems

I've tried a lot of mechanical pencils in the 3 years I've been at university. This one I have to put in my top 5. Lightweight construction, great feel and balance in the hand. I have yet to experience finger fatigue with this one. I use this to do my math problems with and couldn't be happier with it. Had to remove the metal clip because it got in the way sometimes but I do this with almost every pencil or pen I purchase.
