Pentel Graph Gear 1000 Mechanical Pencil, 0.5mm (PG1015)

$ 2.37

I really wasn’t sure if there was any truth to the hype over this pencil, so I resisted trying it for the longest time. Then, when I saw the price come down, I decided to give it a try. Wow! It is prefectly balanced and the absolute BEST pencil to travel with! It has a cool feature that retracts the led when you’re finished. Love that!! I also love the fact that I can specify which type of lead I load into the pencil. I just purchased a second one, as I really want to have one for colored led at the ready and one for graphite on the go. It’s comfortable to hold, draw and write with. Just as a warning, you will need a separate eraser, as the one that is in the top is miniscule (fine for removing tiny marks), but I don’t see that as a drawback. Just wanted to make that clear to anyone looking at this pencil for whatever you plan to use it for.
