Pentel 0.7 mm Graphgear 500 Mechanical Pencil, PG517-C

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?

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.

Good mechanical pencil, my only problem is that it's a little light on the back and heavy on the front so the balance is off. Definitely worth the money though, i use it for drawing and writing, both are good. It feels good apart from the thin plastic sleeve. Writing is good and functional is as intended. Also it's lasted longer then my graphgear 1000 0.3

Nice mechanical pencil. Well made and nice to use.

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

If I wanted second-hand, I'd be on Ebay. When the pen arrived, it looked like an Amazon warehouse operative had been using it for a week. The nib was bent, there was a dirty fingerprint on the machined grip and there was half a lead still inside the pencil.The Pentel pen itself felt cheap and badly balanced as the grip is metal and the rest is plastic, so I doubt I would have enjoyed using it - will stick with rOtring in future.

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.

I’ve been using it for almost a decade
