Pilot S5 Drafting Pencil - 0.9 mm - Green Body

Awesome pencil. Found it to be perfect with my pilot eno sky blue lead which I use for all my non-photo work. No complaints, works just like the S10, feels really nice, love the rubber grip. May buy one more in .5mm. Keep up the good work Pilot!

I like the feel of the rubber grip, but it does attract a lot of lint. The diameter is about 10mm, which I prefer. I don't like my pencils thinner than 10mm, it's uncomfortable after long use. I use the Uni-ball Hi-Uni Hi-Density Pencil Lead HB lead and this lead significantly reduced lead breakage. The S5 series is very "clicky". On several occasions, I had to click about 20+ times for the lead to come out. I had to push the lead from the point, which is the opposite. Maybe it's defective? Regardless, I like this pencil very much. Drafting mechanical pencils write much better than cheaper mechanical pencils.

This pencil is not the best and is a little expensive. The body is plastic and there is no grip at all. However, it does work well and is cool to carry around.
