Pentel Sharp Mechanical Pencil, Fine Point0.5mm, Black Barrel
Very disappointing. It has a very sharp pointed end even when the lead is inside the barrel. You can not keep it in your shirt pocket as it would put a hole in the bottom of the pocket. It also feels cheaply made.

Nice writing
I've enjoyed this mechanical pencil. Feels 'pen-like' while writing. Very smooth.

Good
It writes okay and the model is thin, which is what I wanted. The eraser is not great though.

Pentel P205 Pencil
The Pentel P205 is a well made product. It is comfortable to use and writes nicely. Well worth the money. This is one of my favorite mechanical pencils and I use it on a regular basis.

Excellent Penmanship
I order these pencils for my manager. He is an engineer at heart and he loves clean lines. This fine point refillable pencil is just what he desires. He uses only 2 a year and I'm sure they can go longer. He only replaces them when they get swapped by other admires.

Preferred by Engineers...
Good quality pencil for engineered drawing mark-ups. When our engineering team requests a good quality mechanical pencil at a good price, this is the one they prefer.

Mechanical pencils
I find the Pentel Sharp mechanical pencils to be the better quality. They seem to last the longest out of all the other brands we purchase.

Works Fine, Eraser is irritating
Works great, but once the eraser wears down and you need to move it up the metal doesn't hold securely and it slides back down.

Great Product
My engineers love these pencils but they are so hard to find and very expensive so I was glad to find them here. I hope they will be available in the future.

I really like this pencil!!
I use this pencil everyday at work. I like how it "fits" my hand, the quality of lead--doesn't seem to break everytime I use it, like so many other mechanical pencils. One of my favorite things (as a secretary) is office supplies--think I will add this to a personal Christmas list.
