I really like the balance and weight of this mechanical pencil, which is so important when you’re drawing so your hand and arms don’t fatigue easily. It’s not a complex product, but it works well and is well worth the price. I intend to buy 10 more so I never run out.

These pencils are EXACTLY as I remember them many years ago. Thankfully, they are also just as good now as they were then; reliable, durable, and every bit worthy of being your only pencil in your pocket.And Pentel, DO NOT, EVER, discontinue these pencils for any reason. You WILL be sorry if you do.

After trying a few contemporary mechanical pencils like the Kuro Toga Advance ( which got jammed after 1 week of normal usage and it can't be fixed), I listened to the advise from a woman engineer, ie her comment on a YT video, who has been using this model for 30+ years! I will be using this model forever! Some things are just worthy of being conserved! I will buy several more in case they ever get discontinued and I lose them. JUST SUPER AWESOME!

Two pencil set was not overpriced. I just started using them, but they seem like they will last. Attractive design features a black pencil and silver eraser cover to prevent erasers from getting lost and dirty. From experience I know the erasers have a way of disappearing, so the cover is a good feature. Leads and erasers are replaceable. I have bought this brand of cheap mechanical pencils before and they are an excellent deal and last almost forever if you know what to do when the leads inevitably get jammed and won’t advance. Recommend these.

I've used these pencils for ages because they are great. They hold this thin lead really well, are very reliable, very comfortable and let you write a thin clear line.Also they are quick to fix when the lead breaks in the Collett. But only if you have the little pin that should be stuck in the back of the erasure! These pencils did not come with the necessary little pin.

Los adquiri para poder usar las minas uni nanodia Mix 0.5 y la verdad son muy buenos, son ligeros y se ven tal cual la foto, por el precio creo que lo valen, 10/10.

Una producto único, ya que al ser muy liviano permite que no ejerzas mucho esfuerzo a la hora de dibujar y escribir.Eso permite una escritura suave y útil en el caso de minas más sensibles como lo son las de colores.Ayuda mucho a usar las minas al máximo al permitir usar hasta el ultimo milímetro de las minas.Lo recomiendo a los que los utilicen para dibujar.No le pide nada los lapiceros de alta gama.

Hablando de la marca Pentel como tal, puedo decir que es buena y sus productos son de calidad. He probado varios de ellos y reafirmo mi argumento con estos portaminas. Un set de dos unidades a buen precio sin perder calidad.Si bien no son como la linea Graphgear, si tienen sus puntos diferenciales. Son mas sencillos pero también esta bien hechos. Están construidos en materiales de calidad y son muy resistentes, están hechos para durar para siempre. La punta de las minas esta protegida por un tubo de metal al igual que la otra linea de portaminas ya mencionada. El peso y agarre en estos lapices mecánicos también es algo digno de mención, pues son muy ligeros y a pesar de no tener un Grip metílico son muy cómodos de usar y se trabaja muy bien con ellos. Ya que no son muy pesados y son muy simples, son mas portátiles de llevar ya sea que uses el clip o los guardes en un estuche.El motivo por el que destaco el precio es porque realmente es algo que hay que resaltar. Si se ponen a buscar mas opciones, verán que un solo lápiz Pentel Sharp sale en 90 pesos básicamente (hablando únicamente de la medida 0.5), el Graphgear 500 sale por arriba de los 130, mientras que este set solo cuesta 120 aproximadamente (al menos cuando yo los compre; el precio puede bajar o subir mas). Es decir, te sale mas barato que comprar dos Sharp por separado y es mejor que comprar solo un solo portaminas. Este modelo no esta nada mal ni tiene nada que envidiar a los otros, y por ese precio es algo que los vuelve económicos y te ahorra dinero. Ademas, si se te pierde uno, tienes otro extra y no sera tanta la perdida pues hablamos de que un portaminas te salio en la mitad de lo que cuesta o menos.Si lo que buscas es comprar portaminas profesionales para dibujar pero a la vez quieres economizar y no dejarte mucho dinero en ellos, sin duda esta es una compra segura muy recomendable, una buena inversión.

Even a cheap disposable mechanical pencil is better than a wooden pencil because 1. You don't have to stop writing or drawing to sharpen it. When the lead gets short, just click for more. and 2. It keeps a good point at all times, giving consistent line quality, rather than starting fine and crisp and gradually becoming dull and smudgy.If you've tried disposable mechanicals and been satisfied, you don't know what you're missing until you try a draftsman's mechanical pencil. Everything good about mechanical pencils has been refined to a level you must experience to understand and believe. Generations of drafstmen and engineers who used these pencils all day, every day insisted on this level of reliability and performance. But with so many pencils available, and prices from the ridiculously cheap to the ridiculously expensive, how do you choose?After reading reviews of drafting pencils, I bought several top-rated pencils to compare. All wrote and drew very well, but each had a different feel. Some were fat or thin, heavy or light. Some had hard or soft textured grips, while others were smooth. I realize feel is a matter of personal taste, and if you like a thicker pencil, I recommend the Staedtler 925 25. But after trying various pencils and coming back to the Pentel Sharp P205, its feel disappeared. My hand moved smoothly and comfortably across the page as if the pencil had vanished, and thoughts flowed directly from my mind to the paper, coming out as perfectly balanced lines, as expressive and precise as I imagined.

Learned to love these little beasts decades ago and have passed that love on to my son. I didn't allow him to have one until 6th grade (attractive to too many other kids) but I saw him covet mine more than the key to the front door. I seldom loan them to anyone because I'm afraid something might happen and it would go astray (permanently) so on the rare occasion that I do I find myself hyper alert and visually track it until I get it back. I have (though rarely) misplaced one or two at my job over the years and posted email APB's along with a bag of M &M (economy size) as a bounty, and giving a complete description which included the partially crushed/tooth marks) piece of plastic the eraser used to fit in.............. the silver cap long gone. I used to tape a piece of paper with name on it around them. I dropped my "exclusive" crossing to the other side of the tracks at the train station when it fell out of my bag and went back for it. That was the one in competition for the record. I placed a bet on how long my son and I could keep a singular/exclusive one in use and clocked up 11 years but failed my son's record of 14. Although this would seem that I've seldom bought them it's not the case. I keep them around the house (keep my senior one in my purse) because sometimes they disappear into pieces of furniture. On only two occasions have I had to retire them 1. the lead wouldn't eject, 2. dropped on point. They are strong, comfortable between fingers, long lasting leads, allows for small writing (mine is clumsy and large) and have delightfully chewable caps. I use them to to take notes, write letters and cards in fact the only time I don't use them is when a signature is required. When I die my "exclusive" pencil will be mounted on a small block and willed to my son, and my headstone will read RIP,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,REST IN PENTELS after all, unlike a pen, nothing is permanent.
