Pentel Sharp Mechanical Pencil (0.5mm), Fine Line, Black Barrel, Pack of 2 (P205BP2)

I've used these mechanical pencils for as long as I can remember. They are of great quality and reliability and are very comfortable to hold.

love! It's a nice grip and it's a good weight to hold. I think the design is cool. Very easy to use. It's a nice pencil.

These mechanical pencils are great. The best I've ever used. They dispensed the perfect amount of lead, which is one push of the button.

I love these pencils. They’re the only ones I use anymore. Great quality

Has erasers.They are ok, breaks too quickly for me, could be me

I really like the balance and weight of this mechanical pencil, which is so important when you’re drawing so your hand and arms don’t fatigue easily. It’s not a complex product, but it works well and is well worth the price. I intend to buy 10 more so I never run out.

Learned to love these little beasts decades ago and have passed that love on to my son. I didn't allow him to have one until 6th grade (attractive to too many other kids) but I saw him covet mine more than the key to the front door. I seldom loan them to anyone because I'm afraid something might happen and it would go astray (permanently) so on the rare occasion that I do I find myself hyper alert and visually track it until I get it back. I have (though rarely) misplaced one or two at my job over the years and posted email APB's along with a bag of M &M (economy size) as a bounty, and giving a complete description which included the partially crushed/tooth marks) piece of plastic the eraser used to fit in.............. the silver cap long gone. I used to tape a piece of paper with name on it around them. I dropped my "exclusive" crossing to the other side of the tracks at the train station when it fell out of my bag and went back for it. That was the one in competition for the record. I placed a bet on how long my son and I could keep a singular/exclusive one in use and clocked up 11 years but failed my son's record of 14. Although this would seem that I've seldom bought them it's not the case. I keep them around the house (keep my senior one in my purse) because sometimes they disappear into pieces of furniture. On only two occasions have I had to retire them 1. the lead wouldn't eject, 2. dropped on point. They are strong, comfortable between fingers, long lasting leads, allows for small writing (mine is clumsy and large) and have delightfully chewable caps. I use them to to take notes, write letters and cards in fact the only time I don't use them is when a signature is required. When I die my "exclusive" pencil will be mounted on a small block and willed to my son, and my headstone will read RIP,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,REST IN PENTELS after all, unlike a pen, nothing is permanent.

Since I've got these, these have been my favorite lead pencils since. I love how the pencil has some weight to it when I'm writing, but it's not necessarily heavy. After writing with these, going back to a plastic lead pencil just isn't the same anymore. I've also been using the same lead pencil religiously for 2 years now and it still works as if it was brand new. The only reason I have a need to purchase new ones is because I lost them and someone probably claimed ownership of them because they're that good. However because these are rather expensive, I make sure I always put them away and I've only lost one of them in the past 2 years, whereas if I were using the plastic lead pencils, I would've gone through at least 10. The lead almost never snaps when I'm writing and I sometimes write hard enough to make indentations on the next page. The eraser on the lead pencil is effective, but quite small so I use this lead pencil along with the Pentel Clic Eraser Pencil-Style Grip Eraser, which are easily refillable. When I write or draw, it doesn't feel right anymore unless I'm using this pencil. Definitely worth your money!

Hablando de la marca Pentel como tal, puedo decir que es buena y sus productos son de calidad. He probado varios de ellos y reafirmo mi argumento con estos portaminas. Un set de dos unidades a buen precio sin perder calidad. Si bien no son como la linea Graphgear, si tienen sus puntos diferenciales. Son mas sencillos pero también esta bien hechos. Están construidos en materiales de calidad y son muy resistentes, están hechos para durar para siempre. La punta de las minas esta protegida por un tubo de metal al igual que la otra linea de portaminas ya mencionada. El peso y agarre en estos lapices mecánicos también es algo digno de mención, pues son muy ligeros y a pesar de no tener un Grip metílico son muy cómodos de usar y se trabaja muy bien con ellos. Ya que no son muy pesados y son muy simples, son mas portátiles de llevar ya sea que uses el clip o los guardes en un estuche. El motivo por el que destaco el precio es porque realmente es algo que hay que resaltar. Si se ponen a buscar mas opciones, verán que un solo lápiz Pentel Sharp sale en 90 pesos básicamente (hablando únicamente de la medida 0.5), el Graphgear 500 sale por arriba de los 130, mientras que este set solo cuesta 120 aproximadamente (al menos cuando yo los compre; el precio puede bajar o subir mas). Es decir, te sale mas barato que comprar dos Sharp por separado y es mejor que comprar solo un solo portaminas. Este modelo no esta nada mal ni tiene nada que envidiar a los otros, y por ese precio es algo que los vuelve económicos y te ahorra dinero. Ademas, si se te pierde uno, tienes otro extra y no sera tanta la perdida pues hablamos de que un portaminas te salio en la mitad de lo que cuesta o menos. Si lo que buscas es comprar portaminas profesionales para dibujar pero a la vez quieres economizar y no dejarte mucho dinero en ellos, sin duda esta es una compra segura muy recomendable, una buena inversión.

As expected.

Great workhorse pencils.

I have been using this model of mechanical pencil since the 70's. I have drawn everything from houses to sewage treatment plants with it and would be lost without it. In fact this is why I bought this package...I thought that I lost my original. As luck would have it, I found the original right after these arrived....always the way. Now I have two (2) spares...good for another 50 years!. Me...not so much.

Una producto único, ya que al ser muy liviano permite que no ejerzas mucho esfuerzo a la hora de dibujar y escribir. Eso permite una escritura suave y útil en el caso de minas más sensibles como lo son las de colores. Ayuda mucho a usar las minas al máximo al permitir usar hasta el ultimo milímetro de las minas. Lo recomiendo a los que los utilicen para dibujar. No le pide nada los lapiceros de alta gama.
