Pentel Mechanical Pencil Graphgear500-0.3mm - PG513

This thing is thin but hefty and sturdy. Feels like a professional's tool for sure. Used it to write and sketch a bit - Loved it.

Really great mechanical pencil! I have the 0.3 lead and it works great for smaller details! The lead is a bit weak but that's expected with how thin it is. This is definitely my go-to pencil for drawing :)

These pencils are great, I use the .03 size and they are perfect for me. They feel good in your hand. Only drawback is … don’t drop on concrete. If the nib gets damaged, just buy another one.

Good mechanical pencil practice draw good price light weight the grip not bad breakable strong writing

Great for sketching

I really like the feel of these mechanical Pencils in your hand they do not feel cheap. I gave it 4 starts because I hate the lead that comes with them it is to hard and feels like it scratches the paper instead of draws on it. I will be getting different lead.

For drawing, I prefer this model over Pentel's Graphgear 1000. It doesn't have the survivability of the GG 1000 (due to that pencil's metal barrel and retractable tip), but the weight distribution on this model is superior in my opinion. The plastic barrel barely feels like it's there, with all the mass at the front where you grip. Makes the pencil very comfortable and controllable. This'll be my 4th GG 500 purchase, and I'll likely end up buying more as needed. Be careful not to drop them and bend the tip, and they'll serve you well for many years.

Has a nice grip but seems to lack in heft. Certainly draws a 0.3 mm line and holds the lead well as you would expect from Pentel. It is just a little tip heavy (or shaft light) for me.
