Nicpro Blocky Gear 0.9 mm Mechanical Pencils Set in Case, Metal Pencil with 0.9mm HB Lead Refills, Eraser for Professional & Adult Art Writing Drafting Drawing

For the price of this mechanical pencil, you cannot go wrong enough lead to get you through the first year and it is a super nice build

great pencil for find details. it looks so professional and makes nice crisp lines. the lead breaks really easily though if you even press a little too hard. but that might just be a me problem. it is annoying though. otherwise, i appreciate that it comes with erasers and extra lead. (which you will need if you're like me and break it every 5 seconds) the grip is nice, and even though the lead is HB it draws dark enough. (darker would be better though, but that's just a preference thing)

I was a little skeptical about this item being able to print or sketch with 0.3mm HB lead, but with just a short trial I found I had very little trouble breaking the leads. What I found is that if you retract the lead back to the end of the extended tube and then pop the button on the other end, the pencil projects the lead enough for normal writing or sketching. If you pop the lead out without putting a finger to it to move the lead back to the edge of the tube it does break. And, of course, if you are ham handed, well, forget it. The steel tube that actually holds the lead as you write is retractable, which is not the case with all makes of mechanical pencils.

I would give this product four out of five stars. The grip provides excellent comfort while I write and draw while still feeling the very high quality and sturdy. The pencil has a satisfying weight that feels nice while using without causing any extra fatigue. The build quality is impressive and feels like it could easily last a very long time. The included carrying case is convenient and still compact portable with the extra 0.5mm leads and erasers. Speaking of erasers, they're probably the weakest link - they don't actually erase all the way and feel pretty terrible. The bigger square one is fine but not great. The product isn't a bad price for what you get. Shipping was fine and it came when it said it would, though I wish it came sooner. While the subpar erasers are disappointing, the pencil's overall quality makes it a solid choice and I don't regret my purchase.

Nice pencil set. Comes in a case to keep all the pieces together. Shipped quickly and the price was very reasonable

This is a very well balanced lightweight mechanical pencil. It’s the perfect addition to my drawing supplies.

I am really satisfied, the writing quality is excellent.

I bought a few different pencils to try of the 0.3 mm variety. I am not super satisfied with this one. The led breaks constantly and I have to be super gentle while writing as a result. The pencil itself, on the other hand, is not bad. It feels nice, keeps my hand cool, etc. The carrying case it came in is also good.
