Pentel Twist-Erase III Mechanical Pencil, (0.7mm), Black Barrel, 12 Pack (QE517A)

I've been using these for years and ONLY use them. I'm used to the function (which is very well designed) and they can be had in many different lead thicknesses. The twist out eraser is extremely useful, the lead advances smoothly and they last a long time. This particular model holds a very adequate supply of lead, which is important to me as well. The only time mine fail is if they get some kind of abuse.

As an architect, I use mechanical pencils daily and these this are hands down the best ones I've ever used. Nothing super specail about the pencil part other than it's quite well made & feels great in the hand. The eraser is the part that really makes this pencil worth the money. Its Smudge Free, Long Lasting, and Easily Replaceable. If you erase a lot there is no better mechanical pencil or there at this price point.

I am a mechanical pencil connoisseur, and these are the best pencils I have used. I but this model exclusively. They are a nice weight and the 0.7mm led does not break easily, so if you push too hard you don't end up with your led flying everywhere. There is a pad on them where they are held so they are comfortable to write with for a longer period of time. The twist eraser is effective and does not run out quickly. On top of that both the led and the erasers are simple to replace. Be aware that the pencils in this box arrive with only 1 piece of led in each of them, so you might want to purchase some extra led at the time that you buy these pencils.

I began using these several years ago and I really like them because they eliminate most of the issues that are characteristic of many mechanical pencils on the market, namely: (1) too little eraser; (2) too flexible; (3) uncomfortable to hold. In contrast, this pencil has an ample twist-to-extend eraser, which is a full 1.25 inches (3 cm) long when extended -- i.e., you will not easily run out of eraser. The eraser itself is of good quality and it removes lead cleanly and very smoothly. I have used it on paper and on painted surfaces (e.g., when marking walls for repair work). The rubber grip is soft and comfortable, yet it still provides enough solid tactile feedback for precision use. The diameter fits my fingers well -- it is not thin and overly flexible like some pencils I have used, nor is it so bulky as to be clumsy. The lead writes smoothly and is extended by clicking the top of the pencil. It comes with three leads in the barrel -- combined with the long, broad eraser, this pencil should last you a long time without any replacement items.

I've been drawing for 11 years now and this is single handedly the best sketching pencil I've ever used. *Not only does this pencil have a twist eraser, the erasing is smooth and doesn't leave marks. *The twist doesn't come undone while you draw; the eraser is fixed in place unless you tamper with it. *The grip is perfect for drawing hours on end. No more sore fingers! *The lead is soft, responsive, but durable. If you want a darker line, just push harder on the paper. The pencil responds amazingly; unlike a normal mechanical which seems to scratch and squeal. *You also only need one pack of these bad boys! Erasers and lead are refillable. I'm genuinely obsessed with these pencils. Expensive but worth it.

My local store only has .5mm pencils and I was always breaking the lead. The grip is perfect, I like being able to get blue pencils and they work really well until they don't. Some mechanism in the pencil quits and it won't work anymore. It's been an ongoing issue with both the .5mm and .7mm pencils. I knocked a star off the rating because I've had cheap refillable pencils work for years and these work for a few months.

My college age son (studying electrical engineering, doing lots of homework on paper) loves these pencils and specifically asks for them. Strong, dark lead, good erasers. Highly recommend

I will be honest. You can buy these pencils in Staples, Office Depot, and other office supply stores. These pencils are my favorite! They write well, they have twist out erasers, and they are high-quality also looking professional. What I like about Amazon is they are delivered to my door for a cheaper price when I buy them in bulk! I also recommend purchasing high polymer lead.

En fait de lot de 12 porte-mines, il n’y en a qu’un seul. Donc arnaque. La photo ne correspond absolument pas à ce qui est livré Sinon, le stylo est bien lui-même.

Tr fiyatından çok uyguna,kaliteli bir kalem

These are good. I have quite a few colour variations and lead sizes. Colour is more of a dull deep red. What you see as the first picture with the pencil next to the box. Only thing that I’m bothered by with these is the horrible clip. I mean it works… but it is uncomfortable and not attractive at all.

Na descrição do produto diz pacote com 12, mas veio só uma, eu estou muito insatisfeito não recomendo essa compra.

This pencil is awesome and my all kid's like so much. And so Satisfietion so good .
