Zebra Drafix Drafting Pencil - 0.9 mm

The Zebra Drafix is just great. As a Business Owner and Web Developer, I use various pencils for Daily Business Journals and Meetings and Action Notebooks as-well as Sketching. Alongside of the Ohto that I recently purchased, this Zebra Drafix is great! Lightweight and just perfect for detailed sketches.

Well worth the price. What a great line.

I am in love with this pencil! The feel of it is nice, it makes crisp, thin lines that are great for detail. Everything about this pencil is amazing! It's also not too thick and has a light, thin feel to it! This is my favorite Pencil~ I love using it.

i got this pencil as a gift from my bf and its pretty good. i use it for drawing and drawing lines. i wouldnt recommend it for long periods of writing as the grip is hard plastic and isnt soft and squishy. but for me since its thinner then most mech pencils it feels nicer. erasers a bit too small but i almost never use the eraser of mech pencils and instead buy them on theyre own. it does good if you press hard using a small amout of lead at a time.

This pencil is lightweight, with neutral balance, and a positive, gratifying click to its brass 3-jawed clutch. The grip is hard ribbed plastic and very grippy. This is a serious tool and a joy to use. I keep it loaded with 2H lead to take advantage of its slight weight and nimble balance for the faintest of layout markings in preparation for ink drawings. I don't know yet about durability, but it seems plenty sturdy for the price, and I'd have no reservations about snapping another one up, should it fail. This is a great buy.

@suq...
A drafting pencil is basically a mechanical designed for precision drawing because the guide pipe, usually 3-5 mm long, allows the pencil to move smoothly along paper or the edge of a ruler. Also, the long pipe allows visibility as you are drawing and the drawing to be well, precise. There are usually lead indicators for people who draw because the lead grade is indicated and it is useful for remembering. Also, if you have noticed, the drafting pencils come in finer lead sizes such as 0.3,0.4 and larger sizes such as 0.9. Lead holders usually come in large diameters such as 2.0 and 3.15.

A mechanical pencil is for daily everyday usage and the pipe is usually 2 mm long. There are usually no lead indicators and the lead sizes are typically 0.5 or 0.7.

I hope this helps you tell the difference.

For a review, I saw this pencil in China and I was hesitant to use it a lot because it felt somewhat lightweight and cheesy XD. The pencil overall isn't the best but for its price, it is a great deal.
