Rite in the Rain Weatherproof Mechanical Pencil, Black Barrel, 1.3mm Dark Lead, 12 lead refills (No. BK15)

Great Mechanical pencil for carpentry layout & great hand ergonomics a bit pricey but worth it for three

Once dropped can be seen unlike the back ones good durable pen and has a good grip i plan to buy a few more for the work truck

The pencil is incredible, well crafted and still light weight. Eraser is very nice . The lead thickness surprisingly writes well.

Daughter wanted these for her notes. She used up one and had to have more. We will continue buying these. They hold up great even in the rain.

I love this pencil, in particular the thick lead and the feel in my hand. However, as an everyday work EDC it's not perfect. The eraser falls out somewhat easily. Thats pretty much the only flaw I've experienced though. I'd like a version of this pencil with a screw on cap to contain the eraser. Then, I think it'd be perfect as an EDC but as a pencil that lays around the house or in a clipboard, it's fantastic. Love this company

Purchased this mechanical pencil because 0.5mm and 0.7mm leads of other pencils I own can't take the abuse of marking laminate and other materials hard enough to make the cutting line easy to view. So far I am quite pleased with its functionality and fit for the purpose. I am not breaking leads, and the lead advance/retract feature works as it should. The triangular barrel shape keeps it on the workbench when other pencils blow off in the wind from miter saws. Quite satisfied and am contemplating getting a second to have around for desk use.

Great little pencil. Comes with refills and it completes the set if you already have the pen. Functions like it should and it writes legibly. Comfortable in your fingers.

So I have big fat hands that have both had carpal tunnel surgery a year ago. My dexterity is fine but skinny little pencils don't do it for me. I use three mechanical pencils:1. An Uni Kuru Toga, for fine work. The best part of this pencil is that it's metal and somewhat heavy with a great eraser.2. A Pica-Dry Longlife, which I use for carpentry, the little holster is sweet.3. This Rite-in-the-Rain 1.3, which I use for everything else.I really really like this pencil, it's generally comfortable , lays down a nice line on about anything (I use it for marking eggs for incubation a lot), and has a nice clip that rides well in a pocket. Replacement leads and erasers are cheap.My dislikes, which I think are unique to me:I wish it had a bigger barrel and was heavier. It doesn't feel flimsy exactly but it's not super ergonomic for big hands. The erasers do a great job erasing but they aren't tight enough in the cup that holds them, I've repeatedly had the pencil in my pocket with the clip and had the eraser come out of the cup. I don't like putting sharp things in chest pockets because I work a lot in the mud, but when I have to I use the Pica-Dry because of the holster.All in all this is a great pickup. It lets me help my kids with homework and write whatever needs written.
