Uni-ball 552 Series Pencil for Drafting - 0.5 mm

This pencil surprised me in it's build quality and performance. It's very light, the metal grip must be aluminum or something similar. The lead selector spins with a "snap" so it stays in place. I have other pencils that were much more expensive than this that the selector window just freewheels around the shaft and constantly changes itself *UGGHH*.

This pencil is definately worth the money. You won't be disappointed.

This is an excellent pencil with good quality and a good buy. However, the only parts of the pencil that are metal are the grip and the tip, but since the cost of this pencil is only $7.50, this pencil is good enough for me.

good quality and the wright of the pencil is very comfortable to write for a long time and do not feel tierd.

I would consider this to be a mid-line pencil. Better than or equal to what you could get at a local school supply store, but not up to the level of quality of other items Jetpens offers. The best feature of this pencil is the grip; it is good quality metal, and while the grip is a bit on the rough side it does the job.
The lead advance mechanism is fairly average, not poorly constructed by any means but it feels a bit on the light side, but the same can be said for the entire pencil. My biggest complaint is the plastic shaft. I find when I write with it, it has a disconcerting tendency to flex when pressed down. Not a huge deal when sketching, but when writing text or numbers it took a bit to get used to. I use this as a 'field pencil' when I am in a situation where I don't want my nicer equipment nicked or dirtied.

Conclusion: It is an OK pencil but if you are visiting this site, you probably want something with a bit more quality put into it.

You know it's good, just BUY IT ALREADY!
