Product Review

Currently I have almost finished my collection of all of the .05mm drafting pencils that JetPens has to offer with the exception of a select few. I would have to say that this pencil is up there in my top 5. It gets put through the rigors of being an engineer on a daily basis (i.e. more calculations and computations that many could imagine) and holds its own. The weight is nicely balanced and while it may look like th grip is lacking, the smoothness of the barrel paired with the tackiness of the rubber grip strips creates a unique grip that does not fatigue the hand. The pencil is lighter than some of the other metal body pencils out there which I thought at first would make it weaker, but Pentel hs outdone themselves with how well made this pencil is. I tend to be a bit picky when it comes to lead extension, as I am an avid two click person that does not like a ton of lead after those two clicks. This pencil hasgood lead extension and does not overextend. The click is smooth and effortless. I would highly recommend this pencil to anyone that is doing a lot of writing or drawing that wants a good pencil for a good price.
