Pentel Sharp Mechanical Pencil, .5mm, Green

I love Pentel P205's! The quality can't be beaten. So when I noticed that Walmart was selling the rare green ones for a decent price I could not resist jumping on that deal. The pencil came in a plastic bag, but it was in tip top shape. Another high-quality Pentel pencil to add for the collection. I also bought the burgundy P205 as well.

I have been using mechanical pencils since 1963, when I bought my first. One thing that I have noticed over the years, is that there seems to be a standard that has developed based on color. Unfortunately for me, when I go looking into the bottom of my pencil drawer for a 0. 5mm pencil it is a major undertaking because the pencil is usually black. Normally that is not a problem, unless it is late in the day or night. Having a 0.5 mm pencil that is made in an attractive green as this one is, enables me to find it easily, and even brag that I have something of a higher standard. Bravo to the Pentel company for realizing that the standard that was developed is not the best of ideas.

Greta pencil, have had these since I was a child. I remember them being metal and a lot heavier, but it works just the same.

Excellent product, very timely delivery. Quality better than expected.

It's really nice. I love it.

Started with this mechanical pencil in the late 70's though many schools the first one broke in 2005. Didn't think I'd ever find another one. I'm using pencils again!

I am a graphite artist. I intend to create a travel log and will be using this pen because I wont have to worry about sharping the point. Since receiving this pen I have tried it on several small pictures and have become spoiled to not having to worry about keeping a sharp point.

The pentels are great. But the vendor sent one with no eraser or lead. Shabby service.
