Sharp Mechanical Pencil, (0.9mm), Bold Line, Yellow Barrel, Pack of 2 (P209BP2-K6)

I have used these for decades and love them. I could find my .5mm and .7mm pencils I could not find my .9mm pencils (I am sure they will show up some time) so I purchased these for me and to see if my 12 year daughter likes them for her school work. They showed up and were exactly as expected.

I press too hard when I write. I know I shouldn't, but I've been writing that way for 45+ years, so I'm not likely to change now. Before I got my first Pentel 0.9 mm, I wanted to use a mechanical pencil, but I couldn't because I constantly snapped pencil leads. 0.7 mm was bad, 0.5 mm was unusable. So I was stuck with wood pencils. That all changed when a friend introduced me to the Pentel with the 0.9 mm lead. It is a joy to write with because I finally have a pencil that almost never breaks. It's comfortable to hold, too. I'll warn you that the 0.9 mm lead leaves a very bold line, so that may not be what you want. Personally, I love that too. I suggest pairing this with this eraser, which removes all signs of pencil marls like magic without damaging the paper: https://www.amazon.com/STAEDTLER-Plastic-Latex-free-Age-resistant-Crumbling/dp/B00006IFAN

Great item

Really good and durable mechanical pencil and with .9mm lead that isn't easy to break even with heavy press writing. Light weight, easy to use, high visibility, and strong lead size.

Quit using those tiny 5 mm mechanical pencils that always break. These pencils are th absolute best.

Best low cost mechanical pencil out there. Been using them forever.

The 0.9mm seems to be just the right size for woodworking as it doesn't break off easy yet it's a sharp, precise line. The included lead is dark enough and seems to hold up fine. The pencil advances the lead the right amount without pushing it out too far and making prone to breaking off. The internal mechanism and clip seem identical to the much cheaper set from Mr. Pen. The only minor issue is the muddy, muted shade of yellow. The pictures on the product page show a true yellow but what I received is almost a shade of tan.

LOVE!!! These are a must have! The only pencils I can keep, I seem to loose everything else. The .9 led is perfect never breaks unless in extreme circumstances. I’ve had the same 2 pencils for over 6 months and didn’t have to add more led til recently. Love that the erasers are refillable but I find it tedious so I always keep a separate eraser. I also hate loosing my grip and angle of the led so I try to avoid putting the pencil down when I’m writing. I am ocd when it comes to writing utensils and texture of paper, so believe me when I say these are a must, especially if you are heavy handed! My father uses the smaller .7 led (same style just blue instead of gold) and has for decades and he loves them. These are top notch
