Best mechanical pencil on the market. The sharp point is a little hard on newspaper, but that's OK because I do crossword puzzles in ink anyway. Otherwise, this is a great pencil that puts a good fine line on paper, whether you are taking notes or making sketches. I use these at home and at work.

Eraser holding problem

On several of these pencils, I have had the eraser slip down into the unit so that it can't be removed. I think the eraser holder needs a bigger shoulder.

        Comments about Pentel Sharp™ Mechanical Pencils .5mm, Black Barrel, 2/Pack:

        People think I am weird because of my devotion to the
        P20- series pencils from Pentel, but I have never encountered a
        better mechanical pencil. I personally own a pair of P205s and a
        pair of P209s. I am hesitant to let anyone borrow one for fear of
        pencil-napping! I draw with them, take notes with them, and write
        with them. I have owned other design/mechanical pencils, but have
        never found one better. Whether precision or expression is my goal,
        these are perfect tools for the job.

              • CUSTOMER CARE

                A:

                The lead is the same size(.5mm) as the Incra pencils so you should have no issues with using this with the Incra rulers.
