PentelP205 Sharp Mech Pencil 0.5mm Met.Violt

I purchased a two pack of the black barrel Pentel P205's on Feb. 24th, 2016 and I love them. I have tried other mechanical pencils that just don't work, they break, or you go through lead fast. These have stood the test of time. They have not had any mechanical failures. I only ordered this Violet one because I thought I lost my second black one. I keep one on my desk at home and one in my Daytimer. 8 years no problems. I love purple, I was happy to find this one! I did find my other black one the day after I ordered this one...lol Such is life. You just can't go wrong with this one. It writes smooth, it lets you write little print, and it still is readable. The only thing I will say is that if you are writing pages upon pages it might get a little uncomfortable, but honestly I think that is true with any pencil. No dislikes, it is the perfect mechanical pencil!!!

I like the weight of the pencil - light - which makes it very comfortable when using for long periods. The best feature is how slim the point is...you can see exactly where on the lead is going to meet the paper...and when writing in small spaces it's a very hand feature.By far one of the BEST pencils I've ever used - and I'm VERY particular about my writing utensils!

Real color is lovely!!

Works perfectly. Extremely durable metal, yet still light. I love using it to draw.

Pentel are my favorite pencils for hand writing music scores. They come in different sizes, so read the label.

Well made. Beautiful colour. Lightweight but sturdy. Comfortable to write with. Extra leads and eraser inside. Great seller. Took few days longer cos US to UK but according to predicted and estimated timeframes and fast enough considering, so wonderfully professional and prompt service. Very carefully packed and i appreciate that. I was looking exactly for that model in 0.5 but in UK we only have in black. Purple/aubergine was just perfect offer. Thank you so much! Writes like a dream.
