Pentel GraphGear 1000 vs Pentel P200

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!

Haven't had a chance to use them a lot, but the lead is smooth and the feel is good. The smallest size is very fragile so be careful about how much you have out at a time. The eraser likes to be clamped down a bit, but its nice to have so much extra eraser over a Bic without the weird plastic mechanism of some other mechanical pencils.

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

The erasers are covered by a silver cap. New leads can be installed through the hole under the eraser. The clips are not real tight, but tight enough to hold paper. Each pencil is labeled but also the different colors help distinguish which size you are needing

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

These are what was ordered and thus do the job but they came loose packed and the poor packaging was probably why there was a rip that could have seen some of the contents slip away. I had to straighten the tip of the 3mm - if i hadn't needed it in a hurry it would have gone back. Better packaging required or I won't buy here again!
