## Description

Quality mechanical pencil with stippled metal grip, 4mm sleeve to protect lead, and lead grade indicator. Includes 6 refill leads for long-lasting use.

Review: great value for money - Good quality and sturdy item, just the bottom layer of the pencil is metal but the rest is made by plastic but it's enoguh for having a clear and strong writing for all purposes. Only question is left why it was necessary to write the HB o nthe body of the pencil while it must support all the lead types?
Review: Pretty decent - Took a star off for only two reasons. From the picture I thought the whole body was metal but it's mostly plastic apart from the grip and the internal pieces. The other reason is because the way it is constructed it's hard to use up all of the lead. You usually end up with around 1.5cm left over that you can't really use. Other than that it has good weight distribution and seems to be quite long lasting. ( The end that displays the type of lead is good for fidgeting if that's something you're interested in because it makes a clicking noise when you twist it) (original rating 4 stars) Update: I have now been using this as my main mechanical pencil for 2 years. It's a brilliant pencil. The plastic body causes the majority of the weight to be in the grip making it very comfortable to use for long periods. The previously mentioned problem with the left over lead is easily remedied by just using multiple pieces of lead to keep it going. The only issue I've faced is its fairly easy to accidentally bend the tip of the pencil, causing the lead to continually break when trying to eject more. This was easily fixed though using some pliers and a fine needle to ensure the tip stays cylindrical.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Reliable mechanical pencil
*by L***S on 25 June 2025*

Good mechanical pencil, my only problem is that it's a little light on the back and heavy on the front so the balance is off. Definitely worth the money though, i use it for drawing and writing, both are good. It feels good apart from the thin plastic sleeve. Writing is good and functional is as intended. Also it's lasted longer then my graphgear 1000 0.3
