Summary of reviews
The mechanical pencil is highly praised for its sturdy construction, comfortable grip, and smooth writing experience. Guests appreciate its retractable tip and metal design, which prevent lead breakage and add a professional touch. While the pencil's weight is generally seen as a positive feature, some guests find it heavy for extended use. The lack of a built-in eraser is a common concern, but the pencil's overall quality and functionality make it a popular choice for both professional and personal use.

Professional-looking Pencil

This pencil seems very well made and sturdy. It has a nice weight to it and is comfortable to hold. It is fully retractable, both the lead and the writing tip. It writes with a nice line and consistency.
Great!

Very nice mechanical pencil. I use it within my business practice and it works really nice. It looks to be made of great quality. The stainless steel barrel fits nice in my hands. Would definitely recommend and would buy again.
Fanciest pencil I’ve ever used!

This is easily the fanciest mechanical pencil I have ever written with. I’m a teacher, and love writing things out in planners, on paper, calendars, etc. so I’m a sucker for being able to still use a pencil for certain things. I love that its weight and style make it much less likely for the lead to break. I like that it is heavy, which eases neatness of my writing, as well! My one complaint is that it does not have an eraser! I know it’s fancy, but one of the advantages of using a pencil, is being able to erase any mistakes. It’s annoying that I would need to use a separate product for that.

This pencil writes so smooth! The weight of the pencil is good too. Not too light but not too heavy. You simply click the end of the pencil to open it and press the clip to close it. No more broken pencil lead!
Very well designed

One of my favorite pencils right now I really enjoyed riding with it and it feels so smooth is by one of the best mechanical pencils I’ve ever used. I’m really happy with this product. I enjoyed it very much.
Can’t believe I’m gushing over a pencil!

This is my new “always with me” bff pencil for sure. As a teacher and an artist I have used a LOT of different pencils, and I’ve fallen hard for this Pentel. I received this for free from the Hey, Bullseye™ sampling program in exchange for my honest review, and I’m so glad I did. There are several features that are really great. It’s real metal and not silver plastic, so it’s sturdy and withstands abuse. The lead surprisingly doesn’t break easily, and refills can be found at Target so there’s no more wastefully tossing the pencil when it runs out. The finger grip has real rubber dots so it actually grips. The eraser is covered to prevent damage and is longer than you’d expect. My very favorite part of this pencil though is the clip believe it or not, because it’s spring hinged and stays where I clip it, won’t snap off like plastic does, AND when you press on the top of it the lead retracts, so you don’t need to push the lead back in yourself. Seems minor but I love that feature! Definitely highly recommend!

This has a great grip and writes so well. It is very smooth! It has a nice, business type appearance and I love the clip on the end. My daughter loves the grip and has been using it to practice her handwriting.
Well designed, feels great in your hand

As perfect of a mechanical pencil that I can imagine! Great weight to the pencil and feels good in your hand. I like that the tip fully retracts into the main part of the pen so it doesn’t break the led in your bag. It says “superior quality” on the package and that is no joke.
Fancy + Good Grip

The pencil is very well made, appears very expensive although affordable, the grip is very comfortable for both adults and children alike. It writes well and easily. I strongly recommend for your back to school needs.
Very Nice!

These are perfect for work!! They look nice and feel very professional for a pencil. Plus the leaf size is great for making small notes in graph notebooks and in the margins. The pencil that writes like a nice pen but is still a pencil.
Too heavy

3gmom - 7 months ago
Beauty went only skin deep for me with this pencil. Its’s a beautiful lead pencil with a great retractable point that is unfortunately so uncomfortable and heavy to hold. I feel like it was even difficult to write with and made my writing so sloppy. The lead did not break when I wrote, so that’s a good thing.

I had a chance to try this Pentel #2 mechanical pencil. It works really well, is easy to load with more led and my kids like using it also. I also like the sleek look of this pencil and may purchase more soon.
Love this mechanical pencil

These are really great mechanical pencils. It takes a good writing pencil for my handwriting to look nice and these do the job for me. They have a good bright color the ink doesn’t break easy. It even has a part that you can stick it on your shirt pocket. They make for drawing much more better, which I love to draw and do art and draw people. Has a very comfortable grip.
Great for school!

Love this pencil I am attending college and I still like to write notes with a pen and paper or pencil and paper and this pencil is just what I needed love the refills. I love that it’s nice and light and it works great.
Great Pencil

TJHCPier - 7 months ago
This is a fantastic pencil. It’s comfortable to hold, the lead is strong so it doesn’t break and it’s dark enough to see. It’s easy to refill and to access the eraser, which erases well and doesn’t leave marks behind. The pencil is sturdy and functional. A great choice.
Great for woodworking.

I do like the 0.5. Great pencil for note taking and calendaring. Works well, but it’s kind of rough to hold and so very heavy. If you were doing woodworking or something that needs a thin pencil, this would be great. Very durable. Not a cheap feel at all. I’m used to high school light weight pencils within an eraser so my judgment probably isn’t very well if this is being used for woodworking or something other than writing an essay. Its smooth when writing

My teenage son loves mechanical pencils so he likes this one. He said he likes the weight on it and how smoothly it writes. He also really likes the feel and texture of the pencil. So I plan on grabbing a few more to add to his school supplies.
Smooth and snag free

This is a smooth pencil and doesn’t skip or snag paper, which makes me happy! My middle schooler ended up liking this and it’s become her favorite tool for math assignments. The lead seems a little more durable in the pencil, too.
Sturdy mechanical pencil

This is a heavy duty mechanical pencil! I haven’t used any other since I got it. It’s really comfortable to write with and sturdy. I love that I can clip this on my clipboard so I won’t use this. This is definitely a forever pencil! Love it!
