    Pentel Graph Gear 1000 Automatic Drafting Pencil, 0.5mm Lead Size, Brushed Metal Barrel, 1 Each (PG1015A)

    • My son is loved the quality of this pencil and the clicking mechanism
    • A $10 pencil seems like overkill to me since I'm used to using those $5 for a 24 pack Bic pencils ( I like those as well) but the quality you get is well worth the price
    • Great overall weight, comfortable grip, and definitely high quality
    • good quality and strong
    • Good quality lead pencil.
    • Definitely other higher quality & more affordable options available from other manufacturers
    • good quality and accuracy .
    • The lead that comes already in it is of good quality, and i have been using it practically non-stop for a few weeks
    • I use the GraphGear 500 most frequently and that pencil is cheaper and much higher quality than this one.
    • Other fantastic qualities that I did not anticipate for the pencil include

    • Delivered promptly and in original packaging from Japan, excellent quality and a value price compared to "office" places.
    • Great quality.
    • Works just as you would expect but with a level of refined luxury to it.
    • Not to thrilled over this as I cannot tell if it has been used previously
    • I am pretty light on my stuff and don't consider myself an abuser so this was pretty disappointing and frustrating as it did not even last a full year.
    • Works perfect as if it was the original cap, better yet, they're basically free
    • The pencil lasts a very long time I bought mine last year July around this time and it still works just as good as when I first got it
    • A wonderfully well-made mechanical pencil -- as good as the ones I purchased during engineering school in the 1980's!!Smooth operations, good feeding of the lead, and the pointy tip retracts into the barrel, so no more holes in my pockets!I love it - ordered two more for use at home and at work.
    • The pencil disappoints as it failed too early for the price charged.
    • I would just say not to press too hard on the lead because it will break as it is very thin lead
    • I love Pentel lead as it is smooth going down on paper.
    • Loves i!
    • Also the extend/rectract action is just so satisfying to use when I my hand needs to fidget.
    • I bought the 0.5mm use with Pentel HB lead as I like the darkness of it when I use it for drawing and shadowing
