Mr. Pen- Mechanical Pencils 0.5mm, Pack of 2, Metal Mechanical Pencil with Lead and Eraser, Drafting Pencil, Drawing Pencil, 0.5 Mechanical Pencils

So far I’ve bought 3 of these have bought several of their other products as well and have not been disappointed in any of their products I have bought!I initially bought one for my Cricut machine to be able to draw things out for me in pencil. I needed a nice sturdy lead that could hold up to the job of being used a lot.Then my son (9) mentioned he wanted a 2B pencil when he got into drawing so I let him try the pencil I had and he loved it so I bought another one for him. He then lost the cone shaped tip that feeds lead into the pencil because he took it apart (completely his fault, not a defect of the pencil at all, he just loves to see how things work and takes stuff apart all the time) so I order a third pencil only to, ironically, have found the lost piece to his other one the night before that third order was to arrive. So now we have an extra on hand to use.I have also ordered the extra graphite set to go with this as well so we won’t run out for a while considering how much he uses up his pencil lead. Those were also of great quality too! As much as he tries, he isn’t so careful with the leads and tends to break them more often than I do especially when he drops his pencil one too many times, but they are still a good quality if you’re more careful.I don’t foresee that these pencils will break on their own anytime soon because they are very sturdy especially considering how cheap and affordable they are!I also love how this set comes in a plastic case and not just a throw out packaging as pictured. It keeps the product way more protected.Also, my son loves the colored pencil option to switch out colors and that they are also erasable which is harder to come by in a colored pencil.But, ultimately, I love Mr Pen brand and love a company I can stand behind especially when they say to contact them if you have any issues no longer how long you’ve have their products so they can try and make it right! To me, that means they stand by their stuff and want to make sure their customers are happy with their purchase! That alone to me, is a great reason to buy from them!Also, the mustache stickers are an awesome touch! My kids always fight over them when I get a new order of their products! Lol!!My only 2 gripes are 1) that this sized pencil does not come in a multi pack. It does with other sizes, but not of the same size. That was a bummer when I was shopping for more to buy the third time around and would have happily bought a few sets of those if they came that way in the 2B 2.0mm size! And 2) the eraser is small. I hardly use mine, but I encourage my son to use a bigger one if he’s erasing a larger area as to not eat up his erasers so much if he can help it. Obviously there are refills we have and can buy, I just don’t think they are meant to handle erasing larger areas with anyways.Other than that, we love these pencils! They are smooth, the ‘lead’ is strong and thick and the pencil itself is comfortable to use and looks nice! I definitely have and will buy these again!

Beautiful silver mechanical pencils and they work really well and so far I haven’t broken the lead as I’m writing. Very pleased with my purchase. I will be buying these and/or other products again.

Update: Customer service contacted me and offered a refund. As stated in my initial review, the pencils work well and I have been happy with them. Based on the missing items I initially gave 3 stars, but I am updating to reflect the prompt response and interaction with customer service. While I would still like to have had the case as pictured, I would still purchase these pencils again.Giving 3 stars for the quality of the pencils, but not as pictured and described. The pencils do feel nice in the hand, and do write well. However they are not fully as advertised. I only received 3 spare erasers, not the 4 as mentioned. While this is not a big deal to me, it is not what was stated. Also the case that is pictured is not included. They came in regular store shelf packaging, no case included at all. I in part purchased these as it appeared to have a case and I am planning to use these while traveling, so the case would have kept them more neatly contained.

I’ve had this pencil for a little over a year now, and it’s served me well through out my late junior and senior years in Highschool.The feel and comfort are great, and it’s easy to write with. However, the erasers kinda suck. So much is hidden inside the housing that barely any is useable leading to quite a bit of waste, and they go quickly, so I’d recommend carrying an eraser alongside you to avoid any headaches.One pencil broke at the tip, making it so the lead broke easier and more frequently, however the 2nd pencil I’ve been using for the majority of the time has been great. Just be careful with the tip to avoid any breakage.I look forward to using this throughout college, and am impressed with the price and quality they’ve offered.Edit: I’ve come to realize the eraser issue is my own fault, as the bracket that holds it in place got shoved down inside the barrel of the pencil. However, Mr.Pen has sent me 2 free replacements, 5 stars all around!

Excellent pencil.Worth the price. Good grip. Looks nice.

The pencils have a nice balance and weight, and they look good. The very thin lead is soft enough to make a visible line, but because it's so soft and thin, its used up quickly and it breaks VERY easily. Use it with a very light touch and it works well enough, but it's used up fast. These are not the first 0.3 lead pencils I've used. I wouldn't recommend them.

I got another set of Mr. Pen mechanical pencils with five various sizes about a year ago. I love the 0.3! But it really is the only size that I use (it allows me to write super tiny in my notetakers Bible) and due to the tiny size, sometimes it would jam in the middle of church service so I wanted to get a couple more to have as back up. The price was great on these so I gave them a try. They feel a little cheaper made but I actually prefer them over my other one. The first ones I bought had an anti slip grip which ended up being uncomfortable to hold, and they were much heavier. These are a lot more lightweight, smooth, and comfortable to hold. For my husband, I would probably recommend the heavier duty set, but for dainty ladies like myself, I prefer these. I haven’t had this set very long so we will see if it jams or not, but even if it does, I feel like it kind of comes with the territory of 0.3 lead. I will probably purchase more in the future as gifts to friends. Would also make a great stocking stuffer.
