## Overview

The Pentel Graph Gear 1000 is a premium 0.7mm mechanical drafting pencil crafted in Japan, featuring a durable metal body, ergonomic knurled rubber grip, and a retractable tip mechanism. Designed for precision and comfort, it includes a core hardness display window and a slim 4mm guide pipe for clear line visibility, making it the top choice for professionals and creatives who demand reliability and style in their writing instruments.

## Description

"Graph Gear 1000" is a mechanical pencil full of functions for drawing and painting. The weight is moderate, and the slim pen tip has a 4 mm guide pipe that makes it easy to see the line even when the ruler is applied. The grip is made of rubber to prevent hand slipping and knurled dual clip specifications. This hard rubber reduces hand fatigue. In addition, HB, H, B, and 2B can be used properly because the core hardness display window is attached. Furthermore, when you press the clip, the pen tip will be stowed, so you will not damage the pen tip in your pocket or bag.

Review: Best Mechanical Pencil . . . Ever - OK, I'm a mechanical pencil nerd . . . That being said, this is the best mechanical pencil I've ever owned. I actually researched various ones and this one always seems to come out on top. I now know why. It works flawlessly, has a decent weight and feel (it's actually metal, not plastic), and the point retracts back into pencil when you press the clip so no more getting poked through your pocket. Seems really durable even with heavy use and, while more expensive then the cheapos you can get at the local retailer, you actually do get more for the money. Only disappointment is the replacement erasers made by Pentel are half the size of the ones that come with the pencil.
Review: Very well made - Fantastic mechanical pencils. They have a great weight to them, and are comfortable. Push the clip and the lead and tip auto retract. I've got some similar cheaper knockoffs - they are good, but you get what you pay for - these are worth the extra.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What hardness of lead comes with this pencil?**
A: It comes with an H. I replaced this with my preference. An excellent pencil for sharp, clear lines.

**Q: What is the difference between this (PG1013) and the PG1013E?**
A: I think they are same. PG1013 is for selling in Japan. PG1013E(Maybe, E means for English persons) is for selling in the US.

**Q: how do you refill leads into it?**
A: Pull off the end cap that exposes the eraser, then put out the eraser and drop the lead into the opening.

**Q: why does it NOT accept new lead?  what am i doing wrong when trying to add new lead that was made for it?**
A: Hello.  The Pentel Graphgear 1000 comes in a variety of lead sizes. .3,.4..5,.7 and .9 mm. Please make sure you have the correct size for the pencil you have. Once you do, I load the lead from the top by removing the cap, then the eraser. Lastly, I drop a piece of lead inside of it.  I work the action until the new piece has gone through and ready to write/draw. I then place a few more into the top and put the eraser and cap back on. I hope it works for you, because this is a very nice mechanical pencil.  If not, then I would resort to the other suggestions, which I have never had to do with this mechanical pencil, but I have on many others. Good luck.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best Mechanical Pencil . . . Ever

Fantastic mechanical pencils. They have a great weight to them, and are comfortable. Push the clip and the lead and tip auto retract. I've got some similar cheaper knockoffs - they are good, but you get what you pay for - these are worth the extra.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ High quality pencil
*by J***S on October 17, 2025*

The Pentel GraphGear 1000 0.7mm mechanical pencil is easily one of the best writing tools I have ever used. The first thing you notice is the weight balance; it has a solid metal body that feels premium but not heavy, and the grip section is perfectly designed with small rubber inserts that make it extremely comfortable for long writing or sketching sessions. The click mechanism feels crisp and reliable, and the lead advances smoothly every time with no sticking or uneven jumps. The retractable tip is one of the best parts because it protects the sleeve when you put it in your pocket, keeping it from bending or catching on fabric. The lead hardness indicator near the clip is another great feature, especially when switching between different lead types for drafting or shading. Writing with it feels precise and steady, and the pencil has a professional look that really stands out. The clip holds tightly without bending, and the entire build feels like something that will last for years. It holds a good amount of lead, the eraser works well for small corrections, and everything about it shows quality and attention to detail. It’s the perfect mix of comfort, control, and durability, making it an easy five-star choice for anyone who writes or draws often.
