Best for Long-term Use

Consultant from San Clemente, CA

This is the best mechanical pencil I have found for continuous use at work. They are comfortable to use. The pencil line is sharp with a 0.5 mm lead and the large retractable eraser works well and lasts a long time. Most importantly, the lead advance mechanism is durable and lasts for years, whereas most most mechanical pencils become inoperative after about one year of hard use. Read more

I have yet to find the perfect mechanical. I've tried many different types and brands. I keep coming back to the Pental Twist-Erase. I like how long the eraser rubber is; on some brands the eraser is just too small. I don’t want to deal with a separate cap. The grip is comfy. It’s easy to extend more lead by squeezing your thumb against the barrel and compressing it. You don't have to reposition your grip to extend the lead. Reliability is average. They don't last for ever. They are sensitive if you drop them on the tip, if you do they never work right again. I keep a few of them on hand and when they stop working satisfactorily pick up a new one. Read more

This product is designed for intuitive use, from the twist-up eraser to the push, down lead feed. I find it comfortable for long-term note taking or scoring a ball game. It erases efficiently and the eraser stays firmly in place. Read more

La Nena de Casa from New Haven, CT

I have use these pencils for years and love them, so much that i use them at work and at home. My boss used my pencil for last week for the first time and she wants me to order more for herself and for the staff. I now have to hide my pencil from the boss. Read more
