Pentel Packaged Graph Gear 500 Automatic Drafting Pencil, 0.5mm, Grey Accents (XPG515)

Quality mechanical drawing pencil

Well I'm not an engineer, but my company has sponsored me to take classes that relate to mechatronics and maintenance. Drawing electrical diagrams, pneumatic schematics, and ladder diagrams became a painful part of half of my semester and a crappy dollar store mechanical pencil would not suffice when pressed firmly against a machinist rule to create crisp clean lines. The crude plastic tip and flex ensured I had anything but straight lines and broken lead. Introducing this pencil. A professional level instrument designed for the serious. It's not cheap, but if you need a few good pencils for drawing, these seem to fit this niche. If you are a student, a professional, an artist, a designer or an engineer, this is the appropriate drawing instrument for you, as you may have discovered, cheap pencils are for writing. Expensive pencils are for drawing.

Very high quality mechanical pencil, the grip is amazing, the size feels right, and I love all metal silver design. Would recommend for anyone who likes drawing and doesn’t like cheap feeling pencils.

Great pencil! I've used Pentel for years.

I like it the pencil but the description is a little misleading. "5mm stainless steel sleeve suitable for writing using a ruler." I wanted a full barrel stainless steel .05 mm Pencil. Only the tip with the knurled texture is stainless steel. The rest of the pencil barrel is plastic. Other than this disappointment it's a great pencil. The eraser that it comes with is 7/8" long as opposed to the 1/2" or so eraser that most mechanical pencils come with that are this size.

Good product, easy to use. Excellent price

Good for drawing and writing if u like mechanical pencils this is a great buy

Excelente para dibujar, tiene muy buen agarre y buen peso paradibujar

Very smooth to use.

Excellent for sketching and writing!

Avant, j'utilisais un crayon 0.7mm du Dollarama, rien de spécial. Il fesait l'affaire mais maintenant que j'ai ce crayon je sent vraiment la différence!! Mes lignes sont plus claires, c'est aussi très confortable à tenir. Même si il est un peu plus lourd que mon vieux crayon, en dessinant je ne sens pas autant la différence. Faites attention à ne pas le faire tomber, car ça pourrait l'abîmer. Bref, je le recommande vraiment si vous faites du dessin ou avez besoin d'un crayon de qualité!

Authentic product just wow and very sturdy and durable and comfortable to write and sketch with..💜💙🩵

Good mechanical pencils, balance weight and writes smoothly.
