Pentel Graphgear 500 Mechanical Pencil, 0.5mm Lead, Grade HB, 1 x Graphgear Pencil, Silver, (PG515-A)

This pental pencil all rounder Great pencil well balanced and great for all day drawing very fine lines not heavy and cumbersome like other pencils where you get fatigue in your fingersdo sketches all day beautiful pencil very high precision instrument can,t do without one the best so I have purchased so far

Good quality and sturdy item, just the bottom layer of the pencil is metal but the rest is made by plastic but it's enoguh for having a clear and strong writing for all purposes. Only question is left why it was necessary to write the HB o nthe body of the pencil while it must support all the lead types?

Took a star off for only two reasons. From the picture I thought the whole body was metal but it's mostly plastic apart from the grip and the internal pieces. The other reason is because the way it is constructed it's hard to use up all of the lead. You usually end up with around 1.5cm left over that you can't really use. Other than that it has good weight distribution and seems to be quite long lasting. ( The end that displays the type of lead is good for fidgeting if that's something you're interested in because it makes a clicking noise when you twist it) (original rating 4 stars)Update: I have now been using this as my main mechanical pencil for 2 years. It's a brilliant pencil. The plastic body causes the majority of the weight to be in the grip making it very comfortable to use for long periods. The previously mentioned problem with the left over lead is easily remedied by just using multiple pieces of lead to keep it going. The only issue I've faced is its fairly easy to accidentally bend the tip of the pencil, causing the lead to continually break when trying to eject more. This was easily fixed though using some pliers and a fine needle to ensure the tip stays cylindrical.

This was my second purchase of the product with different seller. First time I bought this product in Japan and super loving it. But then I lost it a year later so i tried to find the exact same product in Amazon. And I am very satisfied with my purchase. It came exactly the same. Came with very fast delivery too (got it a day after my order). The pencil is perfect for those of you who like drawing sketch (could be any sketch, technical drawing or even for delicate writing). Love the nice feel when I use it. It come with very nice body that give comfort when you handle this with your hand. Overall very satisfied. Pentel is also a nice Japanese brand for stationary. So if you would like to have a high quality mechanical pencil, this can be your perfect choice.

A little more expensive than others but definitely worth the stretch, comfortable, and the lead resilience is great. Nice feel and can use these for hours. What I'm most happy with is the lower lead widths are comfortable in these pencils so a 0.3 is usable whereas cheaper alternatives can't handle that.

I brought this pencil as a friend of mine at uni had one and I used it once and it was amazing.I’m an illustration student and this pencil is fantastic! It sits comfortably in my hand and it’s very light which is good when I’m drawing for hours. The rubber is hidden inside the top so it doesn’t get dirty inside your pencil case. You can store the spare lead inside and it will replace it for you so you don’t rlly have to do anything. Seriously I love it. It’s weird to talk about a pencil like this but damn.

Good pencil

The pencil does not come in a box as shown, it comes in a cheap plastic sleeve. Also, the product page states it comes with 6 replacement lead refills, it does NOT, it comes with just 1 in it and nothing else.I bought this one because it came with refills meaning it was better value for money than other options, the fact this is a lie makes this more expensive than other options once you factor in the refills.EDIT:Update, after just a month of use (rare use by the way because I had to wait for refills to come from a third-party seller....) I now find that the pencil was not out of lead, the lead feeding mechanism just doesn't work making this pencil nothing but a waste of money and a paperweight.Support for this product is nonexistent once the return window closes so buyer beware, it's cheap crappy quality, the product description is misleading at best or an absolute lie at worst, do yourself a favor and avoid the headache, and do not buy this
