Literally the only product that came in the box.
By The K on May 13, 2017
Literally the only product that came in the box.
The pencil arrived by itself in a box with a bar code sticker on it, no packaging or anything, so that is somewhat odd. At least it does include lead already inside the pencil but not much, only 2 strips.
First impressions are that it is smaller, thinner, and lighter than I expected. The picture made it look like it would be thicker and I assumed the metal parts would make the pencil pretty heavy.
It is comfortable to hold and it’s a great weight, light but not cheap or hollow feeling. The texture on the metal grip feels nice. Not too rough which I was worried about. The mechanical action feels solid but precise and delicate. There does not seem to be any looseness in the pencil while writing. I really like how the eraser is very easily removable and extendable; it is also nice and small for detailed erasing.
This is the first time I have ever used .3 size lead. The thickness is visually significantly thinner, but when I put it to paper the difference from .5 lead is actually not that apparent. The lines I am getting are not much thinner but they are lighter, and the lead digs into the paper more easily leading to a scratchier feel. I will need to use this pencil for a while and see how I get used to it. The lead breaks more easily but with normal writing pressure I don’t think this is a problem. You will probably tear through the paper with the sharp thin lead if you use it with enough force to come close to breaking it. I keep the lead about 3 clicks in length.
The reason why I went for .3 to begin with is because even .5 was just a tiny bit too thick for me at times, so I think I will come to value the .3’s edge over .5 for this.
Edit: Now that I have been using it awhile, the .3 is quite nice. I bought some uni dia lead for it and it is much smoother than the stock lead. I find it much easier to cram in tiny words when I start running out of space.
Edit: I am still using this as my favorite pencil 5 months later and it still works perfectly. Hope this gives confidence in this product for anyone who wants to try it. I'm surprised I have not lost it yet actually, best $6 I ever spent.
BONUS INFO: When peeling off the bar-code there was some residue left over so I immediately took some goo-gone solvent to it to take it off. The plastic is not chemically resistant at all, and immediately smudged and weakened where I applied the solvent. Thankfully I didn't use more than I did. I suggest just using water for the residue and gently scratching it off.

One point of concern is that 0.3 lead is terribly hard to get a hold of. I have to go to the local art school to get mine as no office stores carry it. Other than that however, its wonderful in every way you would want a pencil to be.
With that in mind, however, when you can find lead you have the ability to have an entire assortment of colors and hardness available to you in a single device. I was told at one point that you could even switch out the front metal feeding device to accommodate different thicknesses. I haven’t tried it, but if true it would mean that you truly have an all in one pencil device capable of handling virtually any color, and size, combination possible. Add in the cross-hatched front grip, which is very secure even under the most sweat inducing exams.
I have found that I can generally load about half a container of lead into mine at a time, so the capacity is fairly impressive. The eraser that comes with it is garbage, but that’s normal for a mechanical pencil and not much can really be done about it. I use a separate eraser anyway to compensate.
Great pencil, cant recommend enough.
By Robert Bates on March 10, 2018
Pros:
+Weighted
+Long eraser
+Premium feel
+Solid build (only comes apart into 3 pieces)
+Comes with 3 pieces of pentel lead (Fairly soft lead)
Cons:
-Knurled, Metal grip can be uncomfortable
-Main body is plastic
-No packaging if just getting the pen alone
Overall I'd say this is a great choice.

En cuanto al Portaminas como tal, la calidad del material y la sensación de uso que brinda es una experiencia magnifica, es profesional tal cual, cumple con su propósito con excelencia, como es común observar en productos de Pentel. Ese Grip de metal y el cuerpo de aluminio te garantizan durabilidad y confianza a la hora de dibujar, ademas la punta viene protegida por un pequeño tubo de metal, algo que portaminas baratos no suelen aportar, así que tus puntas no se romperán a menos que seas muy descuidado con la cantidad de punta y la presión que ejerzas sobre ella.
Si buscas un portaminas profesional a buen precio deberías adquirirlo, no te arrepentirás.
