Best mechanical pencil for office/school work
Best mechanical pencil I've used. I got this when I started graduate school and it's been a reliable tool for 2 years. It's saved me a ton of money on disposable pencils. Lead refills are cheap and last years. It feels premium and smooth. Only negative is the eraser head is tiny and if bent at all has a hard time fitting back in; it runs out quick and refills are a must. I usually just have a large eraser on the side and only use the eraser head for small errors. Buying another after 2 years. RIP my old one. Do NOT use for carpentry. xD

Wonderful pencil.
I got this pencil as a treat for myself. I really like the design and the durability of the pencil. It writes and draws very well and is one of the cheaper sides when it comes to quality mechanical pencils. But the pencil grip is a bit too small for my hands, which makes drawing for prolonged periods of time a bit difficult to do. This can be overlooked, though, since I can just get a pencil grip. Overall, this is a lovely pencil, and I recommend it to other artists as well. - B.N

Great feel. Great value. Great warrantee.
I've bought 3 of these so far on separate occasions (all the 0.9 mm yellow version). One was a gift for my 10 yo son, who kept borrowing mine, and won't write with anything else now. I love how this pencil feels in my hand and while writing. It is very well engineered, nicely balanced, and has a smooth mechanism. The auto-retracting mechanism when you clip in on you pocket is a nice touch. All around great design. I've only purchased the yellow one (0.9mm, HB lead) because I planned on mostly using it for marking wood for my woodworking projects and so needed the stronger/thicker lead, but I find myself writing with it all the time. It's just that pleasant to use. I had a problem with one of them (it broke at the yellow plastic part), and I contacted the Pantel warranty department since it was well past the 30 day Amazon return. It took them a while to respond (7-10 days, I forget) so I was initially concerned, but they responded saying they would send a new one and a label for me to return the broken one. Which they did, no questions, no hassle. Top marks for their customer service. Very happy. There are two things that could be better: 1) There is one plastic piece in an otherwise all metal product. It is a weak point, and in fact where one of my pencils broke. But the customer service/warranty department has been great, so I guess if they continue like that (it has a lifetime warranty!), I can't complain too much. 2) The clip is just folded metal and could be a bit sharp on clothes. This is actually a pretty common construction for clips on pencils and pens alike, but for $20+ I was hoping for better. I carry one of them with me pretty much at all times, so I'm a bit concerned the clip eventually will cut into the cloth. So far it hasn't, so I my concern might not be justified. Time will tell and I will try to update in 6+ months either way. Also, one thing I wish they had communicated more clearly: In order to set the handy lead hardness indicator, first loosen the conical end piece part. The indicator part should then spin feely. Make your selection and tighten it back up. (Finger tight is sufficient.) I got all of mine on sale around $13-$16. At that price you really can't beat the value. Full price is $23+, which might seem pricey for a pencil, but if you don't lose it, it should last you a very long time. I think it's well worth it even at full price if you value an affordable, quality writing/drafting pencil. (If you're prone to losing pencils, though, then your experience might vary. :-) ) I highly recommend this pencil. (And seeing as I've bought this on 3 occasions, it goes without saying that I'd buy it again.)

Very high quality pencil, 10/10 would recommend
This is quite possibly the best pencil I've ever used. The balance and weight are perfect, the retraction mechanism is incredibly satisfying and a great fidget, and the pencil is quite sturdy. The lead is thick enough to not break as long as it's set at a reasonable length (<5mm), and thin enough to make precise drawings and write very small. The eraser under the back cap (which just pulls off) is great for precision erasing, but I would recommend having a separate, larger eraser as well.

Great pencil
Got this Pentel GraphGear 1000 (0.3mm) for my teen son, and he absolutely loves it. The build quality is amazing—solid, professional, and feels great in the hand. The fine 0.3mm lead is perfect for his detailed schoolwork and drawing, and the retractable tip is a huge plus for backpack survival. It’s quickly become his favorite pencil, and honestly… I’m impressed enough to want one too!

Great pencil, premium feel
This pencil feels really solid and well-made, it has a comfortable metal grip and the 0.5mm lead comes out perfectly clean for writing. The rectangle tip is nice touch for carrying it around safety. It's a bit heavier than most pencil and costs a but more. I think overall though the quality is worth it and definitely a solid daily-use mechanical pencil.

Absolutely Amazing!
I LOVE the size of the lead! It’s perfect for precise writing. The grip is comfortable. In terms of breakability, it’s VERY sturdy - I’m clumsy and have dropped it multiple times, without any damage. It works incredibly well. Overall, worth the money.

Para os que tem a mão pesada como a minha recomendo muito. A escrita é firme e a lapiseira é um pouco mais pesada, o que passa a sensação de estabilidade. Ainda vem com a possibilidade de retrair a ponta para evitar danos. Gostei muito.

Die Rezension bezieht sich auf den Pentel Graphgear 1000 mit Minenstärke 0,3 mm Grundlegend positiv hervorzuheben ist die hohe Verarbeitungsqualität: Das massive Metallgehäuse macht einen ausgesprochen stabilen und wertigen Eindruck. Das Finish des Stiftes ist mattsilber, während der Taschenclip und Teile des Druckmechanismus glänzend gehalten sind. Die Griffzone ist mit einer sehr feinen, rautenförmigen Maserung auf dem Metall und Silikonnoppen versehen. Die Maserung wirkt nicht ausgefranst oder unpräzise gefräst - ganz im Gegenteil -, was den guten Eindruck bezüglich der allgemeinen Verarbeitungsqualität bestätigt. An der Griffzone ist zudem eine Vorrichtung angebracht, bei der durch Drehen die verwendete Minenstärke angezeigt werden kann. Teile des Innenlebens bestehen aus (massivem) Kunststoff. Sobald der Taschenclip gedrückt wird, fährt die Spitze des Bleistifts vollständig in das Gehäuse zurück, was ebenfalls einen sehr positiven Eindruck hinterlässt - hierdurch wird einerseits Verhindert, dass Kleidung durch den Graphitstaub der Mine verschmutzt werden kann (beim Transport in der Hemdtasche z. B.) und andererseits wird die Spitze des Stiftes so beim Transport sicher vor Beschädigungen geschützt. Der Federmechanismus des Taschenclips ist auf jeden Fall stark genug, um ein versehentliches Auslösen der Transportsicherung zu verhindern. Unter der Kappe des Druckmechanismus ist ein Radiergummi angebracht. Dieser ist ca. 2 cm lang, kann also bei "Verbrauch" nach oben nachgeschoben werden (zum präzisen Radieren gibt es natürlich auch Radierstifte - diese sind nicht teuer, ich habe mir gleich einen mitbestellt). Im Inneren des Stiftes ist am Ende des Radiergummis ein ca. 2 cm langer Metallstab in Minenstärke angebracht. Er dient dazu, ggf. abgebrochene Minenreste aus der Spitze des Stiftes zu entfernen, sehr nützlich. Wer mit günstigeren Druckbleistiften gearbeitet hat, kennt sicherlich das Problem, dass die Mine "zu weit" vorgeschoben wird - und gerade bei festerem Aufdrücken oder der Verwendung dünner Minen gerne abbricht. Bei diesem Stift ist das anders: Es wird genug der Mine vorgeschoben, um den Stift kontinuierlich benutzen zu können, aber nicht so viel, dass die Mine bei der Benutzung abbricht. Für die intensive Arbeit auf jeden Fall sehr angenehm (zum Vergleich: Bei einem günstigeren Druckbleistift eines namhaften Herstellers wird bei einmaliger Betätigung die Mine ca. 4x weiter vorgeschoben als beim Graphgear). Für meinen Geschmack dürfte der Stift etwas "kopflastiger" sein, die Gewichtsverteilung liegt - meiner Meinung nach - nicht weit genug vorne. Das fällt beim Gebrauch allerdings kaum auf. Im Gegensatz zu (Voll-)Kunststoffstiften ist der Graphgear 1000 (natürlich) merklich schwerer. Einziger Kritikpunkt ist der Reibwiderstand auf der Griffzone: Im Gegensatz zu gummierten Stiften (hier im Vergleich zum Rotring Tikky) muss mehr Kraft aufgewendet werden, um den Stift sicher zu führen, da er sich etwas "rutschig" anfühlt. Das ist mit Sicherheit auch Gewöhnungssache, jedoch hätten die Silikonnoppen aus diesem Grund für meinen Geschmack etwas weiter aus dem Metall der Griffzone herausstehen dürfen (sie schließen gefühlt fast bündig mit der Metalloberfläche ab). Gerade wegen der guten Verarbeitungsqualität und dem angenehmen Arbeiten (Stichwort: Vorschub der Mine) bleibt es dennoch bei der guten Bewertung.

Love the pencil and I'm glad I got my hands on it. The pencil works fine and the grip feels amazing and soft and nothing was damaged
