Pilot Uni Alpha-Gel Shaker Mechanical Pencil 0.5mm Hard Grip, Chrome Green (M5618GG1PC.6)

It feels really nice and the shaker feature is really handy. The grip has a good feel to it, and I usually don't opt for thicker pencils but this one is just great overall. Again I prefer thinner pencils which is why I put 4 stars for comfort, but if you like this size, you'll definitely like it. Worth the money.

Japanese quality! The best!

Ottimo porta mine, giapponese, affidabile, leggero, una garanzia per disegnare, sia il disegno tecnico che a mano libera.Comperatelo. Si

I purchased this Alpha Gel pen after one of the students I tutor kept raving about it. Generally, I prefer regular wooden pencils, but my curiosity was piqued and I decided to try it out. This Uni-Ball Alpha Gel Hd Shaka Shaker pencil is a well-designed mechanical pencil and writes smoothly. The pros here are:• the comfort grip feature in the form of a squishy soft grip that makes your finger feel pampered• the lead can be extended by either clicking on the top just like other mechanical pencils, OR using the shaker option - just shake it and the lead comes out. You can also control the setting, as in clicking the lead in place. It is intuitive and easy.Final verdict - of all the mechanical pencils I've used, I have to say this is my favorite by far.

Great pencil! Lasts long and extremely comfortable to write with. Had mines for about three years and still works good.
