Pentel Sharp Mechanical Pencil (0.5mm), Fine Line, Black Barrel, Pack of 2 (P205BP2)

These Pentel pencils write smoothly and consistently. The 0.5mm lead creates a nice fine line, and the pencil feels comfortable and durable for everyday writing. A simple, dependable pencil that’s great for work, school, or keeping around the house.

I've been using Staedtler for drafting since high-school in the '70's. They are trusted and proven. Now days I only pull these out on special occasions. My go-to is Pentel mechanical pencils. They are built very well and have some very high end models like the Delguard that are my favorite. This model is my everyday pencil and I have dozens in different sizes for drawing, jotting notes, sketches, you name it. I trust nothing else and I rarely use wood pencils except for marking wood and building stuff.

These pencils are very good for the price point especially. They feel premium but come at a very reasonable price, even with replacement erasers and lead. If you are not prone to losing pencils, this is a great buy.

I began using near-identical Pentels way back in 1980, as an engineering student covering reams of paper with drawings and calculations. The design has been stable all these years because it can't be improved upon -- it's essentially perfect. Simple, effective, durable, affordable. I've used one or two fancier mechanical pencils over the years, but this, this is the one.

Nice penciles and the grip feels good!

This fine line mechanical pencil is my favorite writing instrument. It erases cleanly which helps keep my planner neat. I used erasable pens until I noticed they were erasing themselves!

Learned to love these little beasts decades ago and have passed that love on to my son. I didn't allow him to have one until 6th grade (attractive to too many other kids) but I saw him covet mine more than the key to the front door. I seldom loan them to anyone because I'm afraid something might happen and it would go astray (permanently) so on the rare occasion that I do I find myself hyper alert and visually track it until I get it back. I have (though rarely) misplaced one or two at my job over the years and posted email APB's along with a bag of M &M (economy size) as a bounty, and giving a complete description which included the partially crushed/tooth marks) piece of plastic the eraser used to fit in.............. the silver cap long gone. I used to tape a piece of paper with name on it around them. I dropped my "exclusive" crossing to the other side of the tracks at the train station when it fell out of my bag and went back for it. That was the one in competition for the record. I placed a bet on how long my son and I could keep a singular/exclusive one in use and clocked up 11 years but failed my son's record of 14. Although this would seem that I've seldom bought them it's not the case. I keep them around the house (keep my senior one in my purse) because sometimes they disappear into pieces of furniture. On only two occasions have I had to retire them 1. the lead wouldn't eject, 2. dropped on point. They are strong, comfortable between fingers, long lasting leads, allows for small writing (mine is clumsy and large) and have delightfully chewable caps. I use them to to take notes, write letters and cards in fact the only time I don't use them is when a signature is required. When I die my "exclusive" pencil will be mounted on a small block and willed to my son, and my headstone will read RIP,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,REST IN PENTELS after all, unlike a pen, nothing is permanent.

Love these mechanical pencil’s. They last a long time, just need to watch out for pen thieves ;-)

Hablando de la marca Pentel como tal, puedo decir que es buena y sus productos son de calidad. He probado varios de ellos y reafirmo mi argumento con estos portaminas. Un set de dos unidades a buen precio sin perder calidad. Si bien no son como la linea Graphgear, si tienen sus puntos diferenciales. Son mas sencillos pero también esta bien hechos. Están construidos en materiales de calidad y son muy resistentes, están hechos para durar para siempre. La punta de las minas esta protegida por un tubo de metal al igual que la otra linea de portaminas ya mencionada. El peso y agarre en estos lapices mecánicos también es algo digno de mención, pues son muy ligeros y a pesar de no tener un Grip metílico son muy cómodos de usar y se trabaja muy bien con ellos. Ya que no son muy pesados y son muy simples, son mas portátiles de llevar ya sea que uses el clip o los guardes en un estuche. El motivo por el que destaco el precio es porque realmente es algo que hay que resaltar. Si se ponen a buscar mas opciones, verán que un solo lápiz Pentel Sharp sale en 90 pesos básicamente (hablando únicamente de la medida 0.5), el Graphgear 500 sale por arriba de los 130, mientras que este set solo cuesta 120 aproximadamente (al menos cuando yo los compre; el precio puede bajar o subir mas). Es decir, te sale mas barato que comprar dos Sharp por separado y es mejor que comprar solo un solo portaminas. Este modelo no esta nada mal ni tiene nada que envidiar a los otros, y por ese precio es algo que los vuelve económicos y te ahorra dinero. Ademas, si se te pierde uno, tienes otro extra y no sera tanta la perdida pues hablamos de que un portaminas te salio en la mitad de lo que cuesta o menos. Si lo que buscas es comprar portaminas profesionales para dibujar pero a la vez quieres economizar y no dejarte mucho dinero en ellos, sin duda esta es una compra segura muy recomendable, una buena inversión.

As expected.

Great workhorse pencils.

Well made and ergonomic to use everyday. I really enjoy writing with these.

Los adquiri para poder usar las minas uni nanodia Mix 0.5 y la verdad son muy buenos, son ligeros y se ven tal cual la foto, por el precio creo que lo valen, 10/10.
