Staedtler 925-25 Silver Series Drafting Pencil - 0.9 mm

These pencils are great. I love that they complement the 2mm in the set. My only complaint is that they do not have the large range of lead grades to select like the 2mm.

This pencil is rock solid! The grip is slightly wider than a rotring 600 or 500 which to me is a very good thing. The outside is all aluminum and provides an ideal balance point for me (around the middle). I wish the grip would be a little wider and longer but it is still very tactile and i know it will not slip. The small eraser is standard to all drafting mech. pencils and it came with a pin in it to clear jams.

Overall I think that this is a very plain and precise pencil. Exactly what it should be in my mind. It does not distract me and i don't worry about it failing when writing. Its just an extension of my hand, ready to take on any math or science problem. The price is even lower than its competitors (rotring 600, platinum pro use 1500, etc)

Absolutely beautiful pencil.

Design: I love the silver color, and it has a very solid, aluminum feel to it. I doubt I'd ever break this.

Grip: I haven't written for extended amounts of time with this beauty yet, but the grip feels just right for my fingers, and I don't think this is going to slip out of my fingers within its lifespan.

Mechanism: The lead feed feels natural and, I-don't-know-how-to-describe, powerful. It has a very satisfying click for each lead advance.

Overall; you CANNOT go wrong with this.

I agree with all of the reviews on this pencil but for some reason, the pencil that I received rattles a little bit when I hold the pencil a certain way. It's not a huge problem but it may be irritating for others. Otherwise, it's an awesome pencil

Another solid performer in the Staedtler line of drafting pencils. I purchased this item to use daily as my main writing instrument. So far it met my expectations for comfort, reliability, and performance. Simply does what's built for. Highly recommended.
