Pros & Cons
Pros
This mechanical pencil is a game-changer. My first foray into drafting pencils and this is by far the best pencil i've ever used.
The weight/balance seems to suit my hand better and the performance/durability seems equal to or better than the original version. It has a knurled grip that ensures that it doesn't slide out of your hand when using it. Very well made, durable and las... Read More

A better mechanical pencil has never been achieved--the lead thickness is perfect, the eraser is the perfect size.
Price
This set is at a great price for everything it includes and i love the pencils
All good, fast deliver, will buy from again, great price
It's nice to get lots supplies for the price, we like them.
Not my first choice for a drafting pencil, but hard to go wrong at this price.
Packaging/appearance
The text does say that you get the pencil, but the photos also show a packet of lead, giving the impression that this is included.
Competitiveness
Better than other pricey name brands, and even other pentel varieties.
While i personally prefer the pentel 1000, this two piece set is a great quality for the price.
It certainly is a step up from a bic or other cheap alternative.
