PentelHi-Graph 4 mm Fixed Barrel Mechanical Pencil 0.3 mm Red

I bought this mechanical pencil for my artwork. I needed something that would give me a nice fine line when I draw so that when I need to erase the lines it would leave no trace on my piece of art. I used it on three occasions only and on the third occasion, the lead would not come down the pencil. I thought it was empty at first but it was still full and it looks like a piece of lead has jammed in the barrel...or so it seems. Anyway I contacted the seller and havd been promised a replacement but to date all i have been sent are packs of refill leads!The pencil was not good quality if it can jam with the original leads in it straight from the seller.I have complained to the seller but they seem to be inept and unable to replace the pencil, despite repeatedly stating they would do so. DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY. THE PENCIL IS POORLY MADE IN MY OPINION.

I needed a second set of pencils for College, one set to hold 2b leads and another to hold B leads, so I needed the pencil sets to look different from each other to save confussion.This pencil comes with one HB lead. It holds it's grip on the lead, with no slippage. The pencil feels nice in the hand. Is well balanced and has a little bit of weight behind it. The eraser under the cap, wears down quickly but can be useful if you haven't got a seperate eraser to hand. The pencil looks good and is solidly made, not like a cheap pencil.To retract the lead after uses, press the cap down and push the lead back in. This makes it pocket friendly.You can also get other size pencils in this range. 0.3mm 0.5mm 0.7mm and 0.9mm. These pencils are value for money.Good for School or College.(My other reviews will say the same about other pencils in this range).

I hate myself for using Amazon so much. It really pains me but this was the only place I could get a 0.3 pencil!! I went to at least five different art shops in my locality and no joy!It hurts me to think that my buying a retractable pencil puts a rich man into space-ish.That said,it’s a good pencil at a good price.

This is a really nice mechanical pencil. I use it to help draft out my calligraphy. It writes smoothly and erases well. The barrel itself is quite comfortable to hold. The lead and eraser are easy to replace. I would happily buy this mechanical pencil again if this were to ever give out.

Stopped gripping the graphite after less than 6 months so was unusable. Requested a replacement from the seller but never got one.
