5.0 out of 5 stars Great Pencil, December 30, 2005

Blazing Fire (Baltimore, MD USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Pentel(R) Sharp™ Automatic Drafting Pencil, 0.9 mm, Yellow (Office Product)

Ever since I found one of these pencils in a drafting class a long time ago, I have been addicted. I have a heavy hand and constantanly breaking points. Especially mechanical pencils. I used to go through lead like crazy. The .9 is the only one that I can't break easily. I have still a couple of times, but nothing like I used to. I try to use the .9 exclusivly. The only problem I have is that my kids keep taking them, or I lose them. I have to keep buying them all the time. That's not the manufacturer's problem, that's mine.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pencil for hard writers, December 12, 2006

By

I am an accountant for an independent oil and gas E&P who used to constantly break mechanical pencil lead because of my constant hard writing. Because of this I learned to love the mix of wooden pencils and sharpeners. The pentel sharp series was brought to me by an engineer who said he had the same problem and I have used these ever since. These are the kind of things most of us would usually sit around and say "They don't make'em like this any more" about; but they do!

5.0 out of 5 stars good for a thicker line, January 31, 2004

While in general I prefer .7 lead, I find that for some things a thicker lead like this can be useful. The thicker lead is good for woodworking projects and for other times you need to make a dark, thick line. In general it is too thick for my uses though. It is more difficult to write really small and still have the words legible with the thicker lead. Other than that, I like this pencil. It works just like the average refillable mechanical pencil
