Pentel GraphGear 500 Mechanical Drafting Pencil, (0.5mm), Fine Line, Refill Lead and Mini Eraser (PG525LEBP)

Where do I begin? Long story short: It's one of the best pencils I've ever used, and I've used alot of different kinds over the years. It has a great feel to it, a nice balance when you're holding it. The knurling on the grip is some of the best around, it stays firmly in your hand when using. The lead doesnt move around and it doesnt break leads. All around a great pencil for the price. It's the only pencil you'll need really. You won't be disappointed!

i’m definitely bias bc i already have one and simply wanted a second in a different lead size, but this is one of my favourite pencils to use when drawing or writing!! it has a good weight to it, which i like. i think its advertised for like graphing and architecture sketching but i use it for figure drawings and other things, it feels much higher quality than most other mechanical pencils ive used

New favorite pencil!! Writes so smooth and lead is sturdy and barely smudges. Grip is quite uncomfy for note taking but that was expected, I just put a grip on it and it’s totally fine! I love the quality of this pencil, feels really nice for the price!

Some prefer the the sleeker metal tube design of the (more expensive) GraphGear 1000, the finesse of the (much more expensive) Rotring, or the lead-sharpening technology of the Kura Toga. But for our purposes (math homework, pencil art sketches, science data journals) this pencil can't be beaten. The long metal sleeve never jams, and gives you a better view of the contact area for detail work. Each click advances just the right amount of lead, not so much that you get breaks, and not so little that you need to click again often. The metal grip area feels super sturdy and the grip checkering holds the pencil firmly with no slippage. But it's not scratchy or uncomfortable to hold (like the GraphGear 1000 might feel to some). I like the versatility of 05.mm lead. But my son prefers the lead durability and thicker lines of the 0.7mm model, so we got both. This is a premium-feature pencil at a very reasonable price. Highest recommendation.

It’s a Pentel mechanical pencil, so obviously great. This particular model is so well made, has a great grip, is generally outstanding. Love it so much I have like six of them.

Pens and pencils have a field to them and it should feel good in your hand. This one does but not I’ll do for everyone. Mechanically works fine. Pento makes a good product.

I'm new to mechanical pencils, bought a few to compare... this is fine. It's a bit light weight, but it's a mechanical pencil that is only partly metal, so expected. The grip is very nice, knurled metal. No complaints.

Great for sketching. The lines are clean and easily erasable when needed. There are probably fancier mechanical pencils out there, but I find this one more than meets my needs. Plus it won't break the bank!
