Pentel Mechanical Pencil Orenz Nero 0.5mm

An excellent mechanical pencil. Very comfortable, perfect size, good grip, and not too heavy. A bit expensive, but better than cheaper pencils I've bought in the past.

Excellent pencil. Doesn't need feeding every minute and writes well.

I love this mechanical system and ease of use, not really very light but it feels good in hand. Appears beautiful and Quality is amazing. Only drawback I feel its functionality over automatic lead release doesn’t seemed to be working.

Amazing product, and feels very high quality, having a suitably heavy body. Nice to write with, with auto-advance system for the lead. Looks stylish, and although slightly pricey, definitely a good investment if you like mechanical pencils!

Very good

This pencil feels good in the hand. The grip section has a texture to it to help with grip and is made of metal. The upper barrel is plastic and with a metal clip, making the center of balance just under where the two halves are separated by the band in the middle. Build quality is good, there's a slight rattle of the lead tube, not enough to be annoying but it's there.Now for the gimmick, the sliding lead sleeve, the reason most people would be considering getting this pencil in the first place. Does it work? Yeah, but not very well. I bought this to use with some fragile red lead, and yes, it does do what it says, but the lead sleeve itself scratches the paper with every stroke and it doesn't feel very good to use
