0.5 mm Mechanical Pencils Set, Metal Automatic Artist Pencil With 0.5 HB Pencil Leads And Erasers For Writing Drafting, Drawing, Sketching-Metal Mechanical Pencil-Sliver

It's sturdy and it's got some weight, which I like. It comes with a separate eraser but no eraser refills for the back end of the pen itself. It also comes with the .7mm and .5mm pen refills.

I used them for sketching and they are great, the only thing is that they might not as comfortable at first but I got used to them pretty quickly. They are also great for writing I write slanted and more cursive and these are great for my handwriting, but the only thing is that I mostly like to write with pens. Overall they are great for the price, as well as very comfortable and easy to use. Oh also at first I dint realize the cap on the top of the pencil comes off and there is an eraser, so just a heads up.

Jimmidda Mechanical Pencil SetCompatible Refills:Lead: Any standard 0.5 or 0.7mm size pencil lead, respective to each pencilEraser: Pilot MS-10 with plastic brace/sleeve removedIncluded in this package are two mechanical pencils in 0.5 and 0.7mm lead size, along with a soft block eraser and two containers of spare leads for each pencil. The pencils themselves are of an attractive design featuring metal bodies, knurled grips, pocket clips and erasers underneath the pencil caps. The pencils also have retractable steel lead sleeves that look to be about 3mm in length. With the lead sleeve fully retracted, these pencils are pocket safe, meaning they aren't likely to poke holes in the pockets of your clothing.The lead is actuated through a brass chuck or clutch mechanism, and gives off a satisfying metallic "click" when the top knock button is pressed. I found the pocket clips to have a good deal of tension, and so they should hold onto whatever they are attached to with a firm grip. I would advise being careful when pulling the pencil out of your pocket if it is attached to the fabric as it may snag on the pocket and might cause some damage. In that case, you may want to pull up on the clip slightly to remove the pencil.These pencils are fairly light in weight, though there is a bit of extra mass towards the point, which, along with the fine knurled grip, I find makes for a comfortable writing experience.The M&G branded lead is rated as HB, but looks to me somewhere between H and HB in darkness, or in other words it's more like F grade lead. There is some high pitched squeaking noise that is emitted when writing with this lead, if that is a concern for you. You can use lead from other manufacturers, of course.As far as the erasers are concerned, the eraser attached to the pencil does a fairly good job of erasing any marks, though it has trouble completely erasing marks that have been hard pressed into the papers' surface. When it comes time to replace this eraser, you can use the size MS-10 mechanical pencil erasers made by Pilot, but you will have to remove the plastic braces first as they make the eraser too thick to fit into the eraser dock. The included block eraser seems to be made of the same material as the ones on the pencil and so its' quality is about equal to them.There are no markings or printings on these pencils, save for the lead size with can be viewed in a window on the pocket clip. The overall feel of the pencil is, as stated earlier, comfortable and I noticed my grip on these pencils to be steady. I am impressed by the overall quality pencils.

Well built heavy for their size

These pencils have excellent build quality. I typically prefer .7 over .5, but the.5 pleasantly surprised me, especially for drawing. The interior lead holder is plastic, but this piece shouldn't be damaged as it is protected by the metal casing. The erasers are easily accessible but I would recommend using the included external eraser, which works great. I could see this pencil lasting for years of use if you use the small included eraser sparingly. No complaints, and great value with the included lead and eraser.

I purchased this mechanical pencil set because I was sick of the blue of the 0.7 Pentel mechanical pencils I have used for over 30 years. I like the feel of this mechanical pencil. The lead is squeaky which drove me crazy. I took out the lead and loaded Pentel lead and this worked well but seems to break more than it does in the Pentel mechanical pencil.

I love mechanical pencils and this one is my new favorite. The only thing I don't like is that the lead easily breaks when writing.

....they are really good mechanical pencils. A little on the lighter side, I prefer a heavier pencil. The barrel end that you hold to write with is heavier than the upper barrel. The 2 things I do really like are the lead size indicator and the knurling is on the smoother side but you still get a good hold.
