I don't know why Amazon refuses to use more appropriately sized shipping containers. Pencil works perfectly though.

Literally the only product that came in the box.

Pencil came with a bent broken clip, making it impossible to hold. Tried to return unopened, but is not eligible. So far, I'd call it a scam pencil

Very Simple, Effective, and Inexpensive

Reviewed in the United States on March 9, 2015

Style: 0.3mmVerified Purchase

I bought this pencil because I wanted to try out an even thinner lead diameter than .5 and this seemed to be a good quality and fairly inexpensive option at only 6 dollars or so.
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.

Fantastic pencil

Reviewed in the United States on July 2, 2016

Style: 0.3mmVerified Purchase

The only pencil you will ever need. Super fine point for extreme control. Light weight, but functional. This is the daily driver of mechanical pencils. Every time you need it, its there with no fuss; silently doing its job. Just feed it every once in a while and it will be your trusty companion until the end of time.

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.

Impressed with durability and overall use

Reviewed in the United States on March 10, 2018

Style: 0.3mmVerified Purchase

I have been using this pencil for about a year as my primary pencil for drawing. I ordered a 2nd when I misplaced my first. It has worked flawlessly and even when mis-used by a drunk friend, the seemingly delicate pencil was unharmed, unlike the lead that kept breaking under his heavy hand. None of the stored leads were hurt. Other than that, it's a fine (small) sized lead that is easy to use for shading and drawing for a beginner artist. I say beginner, as I am describing myself, not as a limitation of it's potential. I have attached a drawing I created using the pencil.

Great Pencil! Nicely weighted.

Reviewed in the United States on September 2, 2018

Style: 0.5mmVerified Purchase

I just adore this pencil at this moment. It has a nice weight to it and I really appreciate the metal grip at the bottom. It could be uncomfortable for some people, though. It's pretty rough, almost like a metal file. I don't mind, personally. The mechanism seems really durable and long lasting, and the click of the pencil is almost like that of a really nice pen. Definitely worth the price. I'm looking forward to using this in my architecture classes this year. I'll list a few personal pros and cons below:

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.

Very slippery when holding

Reviewed in the United States on June 17, 2020

Style: 0.5mmVerified Purchase

I traditionally use an Alvin Draft/Matic, but decided to buy this instead because of the reviews. What a mistake. The metal end is not coarse enough, so it is difficult to get a firm grip on the pencil. I need to put pretty good pressure on end, instead of holding relaxed. I found my lost Alvin, and this thing went straight to my drawer. Would return, but not worth the hassle and cost of shipping.

Buena construcción y calidad digna de un Portaminas Profesional, lo que puedes esperar de Pentel.

Reviewed in Mexico on March 4, 2017

Style: 0.5mmVerified Purchase

Antes que nada me gustaría mencionar el tema del empaque, cuando veas la publicación y luego el producto en tus manos veras que es tal cual, solo te vendrá el puro portaminas, ni caja ni presentación en plástico, no es la versión con goma de borrar y minas aparte; únicamente lo que se ve, el lápiz mecánico. Como yo este producto lo adquirí junto a otros, dentro de la caja donde venían mis cosas, estaba el portaminas dentro de una bolsa de plástico sencilla adherida a la caja, que aunque pueda sonar que esta mal, venia bien cuidado y realmente me pareció bien que solo fuera una bolsa, si después de todo ya iba dentro protegido con mas cosas, no es necesario hacer desechos innecesarios solo para el embalaje del producto.

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.

If you don't loose pencils all the time YOU NEED THIS PENCIL. I am an engineering tech student and I do a lot of hand calculations, draw sketches that have fine detail, and write out of assignments. I was using a cheap Bic Velocity pencil that really hurt my hand. I purchased this pencil and it's like writing on a cloud. I have 0 hand fatigue. Because of the weight of the pencil, drawing precise lines and writing small text is SO easy. I have told so many of my friends and family about this pencil they are sick of hearing about it.. yes, it's that good. The gross plastic/gel grip on my old Bic pencil was getting nasty, this pencil is made of metal and is knurled for grip. No gross germs or anything living on your metal pencil grip. OK, now hurry up and click purchase!!
