So far it has been working well. I use it for bookkeeping, I like the fine lead. My last one was lower priced and lasted six months. This brand has always been my go to brand for pens and pencils. It is a smooth writing device and gives me clear numbers on my logs. I especially appreciate the textured barrel, it is comfortable to hold. Review: Best Mechanical Pencil Ever! - Wonderful Pencil with smooth writing lead - NO SQUEAKS. Nice grip. Just enough heft. I love the retractable nib. I actually have three of them now. I use a .5 mm regularly for woodworking. After several months I finally had to replace the lead in one pencil, and the refill lead writes just as smoothly as what came in the pencil. I'm watching for a sale on the .9 mm! ## Features - Superior drafting pencil for professionals and enthusiasts - Easily identify your lead type with the built-in lead hardness indicator - Dual-action retractor advances and retracts pencil tip to protect lead from breaking - Finely chiseled metallic grip inlaid with soft, latex-free pads - 4mm tip length makes it ideal for use with rulers and templates - Pre-loaded with Pentel Super Hi-Polymer HB lead; never needs sharpening, is super strong and produces a clear dark line - Refillable with Pentel Super Hi-Polymer Lead and Z2-1 eraser ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B005GSL762 | | Additional Features | Refillable, Retractable | | Age Range (Description) | Adult | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Best Sellers Rank | #658 in Office Products ( See Top 100 in Office Products ) #6 in Mechanical Pencils | | Body Shape | Round | | Brand | Pentel | | Brand Name | Pentel | | Closure Type | Retractable | | Color | 1 Pack | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 24,441 Reviews | | Drill Point | Extra Fine | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00072512198032, 00072512198056 | | Grip Type | ergonomic | | Hand Orientation | Ambidextrous | | Hardness | HB | | Included Components | No | | Ink Base | Pigment | | Ink Color | Black | | Item Dimensions | 0.63 x 6 x 0.63 inches | | Item Weight | 0.04 Pounds | | Line Size | .3 | | Manufacturer | Pentel | | Material | polymer | | Material Type | polymer | | Model Name | pencil | | Model Number | PG1013E | | Pattern | Pencil | | Recommended Uses For Product | Drafting | | Style | 0.3mm | | UPC | 072512198056 072512198032 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Warranty Description | Each Pentel product is warranted for life against failure due to defect in materials and workmanship.

There is a fine pin stuck to the inside of the eraser. You can remove the eraser and use this to clear any broken lead. When the pencil is completely assembled, depress the top as if you were going to advance the lead. Extremely gently insert a new lead, while keeping the top depressed. I always load my 0.3 pencils from the writing end, since the lead is so fragile. All brands of 0.3 lead pencils are difficult, for most people a 0.5 or 0.7, is better. This is probably the best. **Q: I don't see the eraser.,.. How easy is it to expose it? Can you leave the eraser exposed? I typically always do that...** A: The eraser is located under the silver cap at the top. Being a drafting pencil, the eraser is very small (~4mm) and is designed for fixing small mistakes without erasing anything else. For erasing most mistakes, I would suggest a separate eraser such as the Pentel retractable click (http://www.amazon.com/Pentel-Eraser-Retractable-Assorted-ZE21BP3-K6/dp/B001HA77OO/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1453514031&sr=8-1&keywords=pentel+retractable+eraser) or the Pentel Hi-Polymer Block Eraser (http://www.amazon.com/Pentel-Hi-polymer-Block-Eraser-ZEH10BP3-K6/dp/B001Q4HQVU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1453514058&sr=8-1&keywords=pentel+hi+polymer+eraser) **Q: Some people say that since the tip is retractable it can become wobbly while writing. Anybody else have this problem?** A: Wobbly may be a bit of an exaggeration but there can be a bit of movement in the tip. I have a two Graph Gear 1000's, one tip has no movement and the other has maybe a 1/2 mm movement. The movement is imperceptible while writing though, at least for me. **Q: Is this mechanical pencil comfortable when used to write for long periods of time? Thanks in advance for any answers.** A: I use it all of the time and find it quite comfortable. I'm taking multiple classes and use it as my only writing implement in every one- note-taking as well as homework.Good luck!Sam ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Quality drafting pencil for drawing and bookkeeping. *by N***R on May 23, 2026* I purchased another Pentel of higher quality.

Nice grip. Just enough heft. I love the retractable nib. I actually have three of them now. I use a .5 mm regularly for woodworking. After several months I finally had to replace the lead in one pencil, and the refill lead writes just as smoothly as what came in the pencil. I'm watching for a sale on the .9 mm! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great feel. Great value. Great warrantee. *by R***. on November 13, 2023* I've bought 3 of these so far on separate occasions (all the 0.9 mm yellow version). One was a gift for my 10 yo son, who kept borrowing mine, and won't write with anything else now. I love how this pencil feels in my hand and while writing. It is very well engineered, nicely balanced, and has a smooth mechanism. The auto-retracting mechanism when you clip in on you pocket is a nice touch. All around great design. I've only purchased the yellow one (0.9mm, HB lead) because I planned on mostly using it for marking wood for my woodworking projects and so needed the stronger/thicker lead, but I find myself writing with it all the time. It's just that pleasant to use. I had a problem with one of them (it broke at the yellow plastic part), and I contacted the Pantel warranty department since it was well past the 30 day Amazon return. It took them a while to respond (7-10 days, I forget) so I was initially concerned, but they responded saying they would send a new one and a label for me to return the broken one. Which they did, no questions, no hassle. Top marks for their customer service. Very happy. There are two things that could be better: 1) There is one plastic piece in an otherwise all metal product. It is a weak point, and in fact where one of my pencils broke. But the customer service/warranty department has been great, so I guess if they continue like that (it has a lifetime warranty!), I can't complain too much. 2) The clip is just folded metal and could be a bit sharp on clothes. This is actually a pretty common construction for clips on pencils and pens alike, but for $20+ I was hoping for better. I carry one of them with me pretty much at all times, so I'm a bit concerned the clip eventually will cut into the cloth. So far it hasn't, so I my concern might not be justified. Time will tell and I will try to update in 6+ months either way. Also, one thing I wish they had communicated more clearly: In order to set the handy lead hardness indicator, first loosen the conical end piece part. The indicator part should then spin feely. Make your selection and tighten it back up. (Finger tight is sufficient.) I got all of mine on sale around $13-$16. At that price you really can't beat the value. Full price is $23+, which might seem pricey for a pencil, but if you don't lose it, it should last you a very long time. I think it's well worth it even at full price if you value an affordable, quality writing/drafting pencil. (If you're prone to losing pencils, though, then your experience might vary. :-) ) I highly recommend this pencil. (And seeing as I've bought this on 3 occasions, it goes without saying that I'd buy it again.) ## Frequently Bought Together - Pentel GraphGear 1000 Automatic Drafting Pencil (0.3mm), Black Accents, 1 Each (PG1013G) - Pentel Ain Stein Mechanical Pencil Lead, 0.3mm HB, 15 Leads 3 Pack (XC273HB-35) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/2322756-pentel-graphgear-1000-automatic-drafting-pencil-0-3mm-black-accents](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/2322756-pentel-graphgear-1000-automatic-drafting-pencil-0-3mm-black-accents) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-06-08*
