5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely love this mechanical pencil, October 26, 2005

I used this pencil or a pencil like it almost 20 years ago in graduate school and really liked it. Ran across it again on the internet about a year ago and bought six of them. If you tend to lose your pencils, then this pencil is probably not for you as it is a little pricey. Otherwise, treat yourself to this fine mechanical pencil.

5.0 out of 5 stars - Finest Writing Instrument Devised by Man -, March 14, 2006

I used one of these (in .3mm) throughout college, finally wearing it out after more than a decade (actually I broke the barrel -- snapped it). This is without a doubt the finest precision writing instrument ever created by man. Buy one.

This review is from: PIL50028 - Drafting Pencil, Refillable, 0.5 Millimeter, Black Barrel (Office Product)

This is absolutely the best mechanical pencil available, period. I've owned (and worn out) three of these things over the past twenty five years. I use them constantly, and keep a spare in the event my main unit becomes lost. The retractable tip is a key feature of this pencil, and prevents holes from being drilled into your shirt or bag. Very solidly constructed, and has the best "in hand" feel of any mechanical pencil I've ever tried. I was thrilled that Amazon sells these things and recently bought a replacement for one that was lost. Excellent product!
