Review: Great sturdy pencil. Love the feel of it. - Love the feel of the pencil and the thicker lead that increases durability of point. I typically use 0.9 mm with decent results in other mechanical pencils but this significantly thicker pencil lead on the Rite in the Rain pencil is more to my likeling. I have not use it for marking wood or crafts but it should well in that application.
Review: I have big dumb hands. This thing is great. - So I have big fat hands that have both had carpal tunnel surgery a year ago. My dexterity is fine but skinny little pencils don't do it for me. I use three mechanical pencils: 1. An Uni Kuru Toga, for fine work. The best part of this pencil is that it's metal and somewhat heavy with a great eraser. 2. A Pica-Dry Longlife, which I use for carpentry, the little holster is sweet. 3. This Rite-in-the-Rain 1.3, which I use for everything else. I really really like this pencil, it's generally comfortable , lays down a nice line on about anything (I use it for marking eggs for incubation a lot), and has a nice clip that rides well in a pocket. Replacement leads and erasers are cheap. My dislikes, which I think are unique to me: I wish it had a bigger barrel and was heavier. It doesn't feel flimsy exactly but it's not super ergonomic for big hands. The erasers do a great job erasing but they aren't tight enough in the cup that holds them, I've repeatedly had the pencil in my pocket with the clip and had the eraser come out of the cup. I don't like putting sharp things in chest pockets because I work a lot in the mud, but when I have to I use the Pica-Dry because of the holster. All in all this is a great pickup. It lets me help my kids with homework and write whatever needs written.

## Features

- STRONG BARREL: The lightweight yet durable barrel and tough aluminum tip survives through the toughest conditions. The pencil survived our 8,500 pound forklift crush test.
- BALANCE: The barrel and tip balance perfectly for a comfortable writing experience. Designed to be durable and comfortable for all-day, everyday use.

- ERASE WITH CONFIDENCE: Specially formulated eraser removes marks while not chewing into the paper.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ If you ever have to take notes in the rain... Get the pad too!
*by S***N on January 21, 2026*

It's mechanical pencil. The red easily rights in the rain and it works great with those pads that are made to write on in the rain. I'm not sure if it's the lead or what. But the price is right and they write well... And I can tell you that I was taking notes during an inspection on one of my wet writable pads using this pencil, in a mild rain, and it works great.
