Have used these for years
These are the best mechanical pencils I have found. Would be nice if they had more color choices. (The body not the lead)

Simple reliable pencil
Sleek not bulky pencil basic and dependable. The only downside is lack of anyone carrying replacement erasers for this or any pencil actually. You will need to order spare erasers to have some on hand.

Easy to grip and write with
Unlike most so-called ergonomic pencils that are too thick this one is perfect for small hands like mine thus my handwriting is way way better.

These are drafting professional pencils.
Pentel P205 & P207 are 1st class drafting and writing instruments. And they’re made to last. No cheap plastic chucks holding and advancing the lead. Spend a couple of extra bucks and get quality. You won’t be replacing these in a year or less.

Pentel Sharp Mechanical Pencils
Love the 0.9 lead thickness. It's pretty sturdy. The eraser is nice with several hidden inside are a bonus.

These have been my "go to pencils" for years!!! They last forever. The lead always writes well thickness is perfect for writing in small spaces hardness is just right for writing in comfort. The pencil fits my small hand perfectly for extended sessions of comfortable writing.

Favorite thing
Needed a good mechanical pencil like I used when I was working and I found it a Staples. Good things don’t go away you just have to look in the right place.
