Zebra M-701 Stainless Steel Mechanical Pencil - 0.7 mm

I rarely write reviews.. but, the overall quality of this pencil prompted me to do so. I purchased it to use in a planner, anticipating the possibility of loss, and not wanting to risk losing an expensive pen. This 701 series from Zebra so closely resembles a "high end" set, like a Cross, or Waterman that it's errie! ...a fantastic bargin for a pen/pencil set, that looks like it cost 10 times more!!

Love love love this pencil. When i write I always seem to get very into it and put a lot of pressure on the pencil (Yes, i have snapped a few because of that). This is a solid Stainless Steel mechanical pencil that has lasted me a while in fact i still have my first one. it works like you paid a lot more for it.

My favorite pencil! The M-301 is the best mechanical pencil on the market. I use this for drawing, and the sturdy steel construction, superb grip, and light weight all make for a great pencil. But I really love this pencil because the pocket clip is unobtrusive and allows for a easy and comfortable rotation of the pencil when needing to use the sharp point of the lead for detailed drawing. This pencil is also slightly shorter than most mechanical pencils, and it has a perfect weight and balance. Highly recommended!

This pencil's really good for schoolwork and such; however, the barrel is steel so if you like squishy grips, this is not for you...also, the price is a little extravagant for what you get; a wholesale store I go to used to sell a pack of ten for ten dollars.

I have this same exact pencil(but in 0.7) and it's fantastic! I usually use it for school work and drawing. The bad thing is that it says it has a great grip, but it isn't really grippe. Still this pencil is great and would recomend this for students. ;D
