    Great Product With Unwanted Extra
    This has become my favorite of all of the pencils that I have owned for over many years. I had to replace it because I broke it. I dropped it and may have stepped on it. It is pleasantly surprising that the new one appears to be identical to the old one. I did find it annoying that the new pencils came with an annoying barcode sticker even though the pencils were inside a blister pack.

    I use mechanical pencils a lot, and have used a different Pentel .9 mm pencil for a long time. I also use a big variety of quality non-mechanical pencils. I use all these pencils for both writing and sketching. This pencil, however, is the best I’ve used. It’s barrel is thicker, with a rubber grip, which makes it very comfortable to hold. It’s just the right weight and heft to feel good in the hand. It has an easy feed mechanism… and a terrific, very effective eraser that you simply twist to extend whenever it starts to wear down. They’re very reasonably priced. I bought two so I could have both HB and 2B leads available. It’s hard to imagine a better designed, more useful, easy to use writing instrument! I’ve already given some as gifts.

    I love these pencils. I have been using them for over 20 years. I like the thicker lead for taking notes since it does not break as easily as the 0.5 lead, or maybe I'm just a hard writer. Either way, these pencils last forever and they have a long eraser inside that also lasts forever and can be replaced as needed.

    This is the first .9mm pencil I've used and I love it. The lead is thick enough not to break like .07 and .05 leads. The eraser is perfect, much better than wood pencil erasers, because it removes almost all the wrong words I tried first, even multiple times in the same spaces. There isn't even much residue. It never tears the paper. I was using retractable erasers previously, with a pencil, but this replaces the 2 units. The only small issue is that the eraser tends to extend as you twist the pencil in hand, but that's very minor.

    I like thicker pens/pencils, and this is very comfortable. I've done probably 50 puzzles before needing to start a new lead. The extra pack of leads I bought will probably last the rest of my life! I even sent these pens to a crossword-solving friend in Florida and he loves them too.

    Reviewed in the United States on June 12, 2014
    Size: 2 Count (Pack of 1)Verified Purchase
    I have avoided these pencils for some time now. Yea I'm a bit of a pencil snob and gravitate to more Japanese offerings than a "gimicky" eraser and rubber grip. I finally decided to give these a go when I found them in 0.9mm (my goto size as I have a very heavy hand and snap smaller leads like they were nothing). Color me shocked at how nice these pencils work. The sleeve is a fixed design (pretty typical for pentel) and the entire cone section is true metal. In a nice twist the cone is a brushed metal rather then Pentels typical super shiny, super slippery, super fingerprint attracting chrome plate. A very enjoyable and eye pleasing twist. The rubber grip is actually comfortable. It has a grippy feel without being too sticky or tacky (yes shirt lint will stick, but it is not picking up grit when dropped on the floor). My one huge complaint (and the reason for a 4 star) is that the grip is not a perfect fit (at least on the black barreled one, as I have not tried out the blue barrel yet). By this I mean in certain positions you can feel the grip pulling away form the barrel underneath. Certainly not a deal breaker, but an imperfection none the less. THe barrel itself does have a slight flex to it, but nothing out of the ordinary, and nothing I expect will lead to breakage. THe twist eraser is smooth, and works as well as a Pink Pearl eraser. Certainly not Pentels finest eraser (i.e. Ain, or even the click series) but as good as the typical tiny Pentel offering that appears in so many of my beloved Pentel MPs (GG1000, GG500, Graphlet, Sharp, Marksheet, etc.) I do seem to enjoy writing with the larger barrel design, no more or less hand fatigue. THe mechanics are pure Pentel smoothness, and I was tickled to find some nice solid brass clutches, and retainer rings in the guts of this pencil. You will honestly be hard pressed to find a more consistent pencil at any price. I'm not a pocket carry type of person, my pencils typical ride around with me in my belt pouch, so I;m in no way qualified to judge the issue of the top cap pull away from the body. The friction fit seems pretty good to me and I think the use of the multi sided inner barrel will assure a nice long life. One annoying thing is the top half does not slide back onto the body completly unless the lead advance mechanism is engaged (which does mean that the tolerances between the two halves are nice and tight so a pretty fair trade-off). The pencil comes standard with 3 Pentel Super High Poly HB leads. They are good, but for a real treat pick up a tube of Pentel AIN STIEN in 2B hardness. The absolute best and smoothest lead I have ever written with. Also a great lead for those Suduko pulp books as it is darker and softer and tends not to poke thru the pages. So yes I'm pleased and surprised by this Pentel offering. It is as good as I had hoped (actually better as I was sure there was going to be a lot of slop between the 2 body halves). Oh and this pencil is made in Japan so that was a nice bonus for me.

    These pens are very well designed and easy to write with. However, the lead needs to be replaced if you are looking for a darker one. The lead writes very light in color that comes inside these pencils. Great pencil and sure beats the No. 2's that always needed sharpening!
