Pentel GraphGear 1000 vs Pentel Graphlet

Nice steady an functional lead pencil. Pricy! Not sure if I could support that price hence the reason for 3 stars. If not for the price 4.5 stars, would of been my grade!

The very first thing that hit me is that it did NOT come in a nice blister package to signify it's brand new and unused! Next folks, is that this mechanical pencil is entirely too slim! Plus it's extremely easy to break the lead. This is a product to bypass with due diligence as it's so thin and easy to damage it possibly. This mechanical pencil is one to write off and keep shopping! If you especially have a heavier hand, you will be frustrated with this product. I read reviews but found nothing about how thin and light handed you MUST be with it

I am not talking about the reliability itself but about how comfortable it is to use. This pen allows you to do more with much less effort !! 2) You can hide the sharp and sensitive penfront inside the pen. While this may not be an obvious advantage, consider that you may accidently drop it once during its lifecycle. The fact that the pens tip is hidden on the inside does not only protect your investment itself it also somewhat lessens the likelyhood of an actual damage to your other inventory, your expensive new shirt - or worse an injury to a family members eye (kids) etc

i write a lot, mostly technical stuff, drawings equations and the like.. like a pen or pencil that fits my hand and does not produce fatigue. this is a nice pencil very light

Sadly, there just doesn't seem to be a pencil out there that meets this. Ironically, Pentel makes a few different erasers in a pencil like casing. I guess if I wanted to carry multiple things in my pocket I could carry them both, but I'd prefer if they figured out how to put both of them together in one writing instrument. But back to this pencil, its eraser is small and useless, but no more so than its competitors, so it stays in the pole position for the pocket pencil

I also carry a thin pencil eraser and a larger block eraser with me because, as a student and constant doodler, I erase a lot. (and when you're taking notes in a lecture you don't always have the time to take the cover off the back of your pencil to erase a mistake). The eraser also has a little metal rod stuck into the bottom of it that is also .3 sized to use if you accidentally break of small pieces of lead and they're stuck inside the tip

I purchased for more control and better feel when designing. Well balanced, heavier than cheap plastic. Writes smooth and clean- long tip that retracts at a fraction of the price of other comparable products. Overall nice pencil

Just got this pencil for my everyday writing, and I had to jump on here to write a review because the quality for the cost is really impressive. Not only is it very sturdy, but it also looks professional and well-built. There's a cap on the eraser to keep it from getting dirty, which may seem excessive, but I think it's good to have just in case you'd like it. I also prefer this ribbed grip to the rubber kinds that most other pencils have

It's certainly heavier compared to the plastic body of a papermate (hence the 4 stars), but not too bad and I love that I won't be throwing it away. I might actually buy 1-2 more to make sure one is always at hand.

I gave it a 4 Star rating because of the lighter weight as compared to more traditional drafting/drawing pencils, but that may be a little unfair. The Grahlet is a welcome new tool for scribblers and sketchers and diarists.

The led surprisingly does not break while marking rough wood. Very happy with this product.

The thickness of the lead, helps deter the lead from breaking on wood grain while I accomplish my joinery layouts. Anyone want my 35 + “others”? Lol. Just kidding, please don’t get in touch. Should you get 1, you’ll see the difference, and have the same problem to some extent
