Best products from r/mechanicalpencils

Tombow Olno: Extend lead by bending the pencil in any direction.

Tombow Mono Graph: Shaker with phat eraser.

Pilot Mogulair: Shaker with a suspension that prevents lead breakage. Not as fool-proof as the DelGuard, but it's pretty good actually, and it is a better pencil overall in my opinion in terms of grip, looks, and overall quality.

Pentel Orenz: Pentel Excellence with a sliding sleeve so good you can write with 0.2mm without breakage.

Kuru Toga Advance or Pipe Slide: Twice the rotation speed for a sharper line and a sliding sleeve.

Pilot Dr. Grip: Shaker with great grip.

Pilot Fure Fure Super Grip: Shaker with sliding sleeve in an amazing neon orange body.

Pilot Automac: All metal, automatic pencil with a retractable tip. The lead automagically extends as you write.

Platinum OLEeNU Shield: Double clutch let's you use more of your lead, and a small suspension helps prevent lead breakage. The retractable lead sleeve is supposed to be a sliding sleeve, but it's not really, and the mechanism is iffy. The only reason I recommend this one is because it's comfortable, the clip is tough, and it's really cheap ($3.30) so you can use it to get a JetPens order to $25 for free shipping.

I was on the same quest as you, so I own all of these and personally recommend them.

Not sure how the "experienced" people on this subreddit would like this, but...

If you're looking for a cheap, decent substitution to the Rotring 600 (a ~$20-30 graphing pencil), I'd always start with the Pentel GraphGear 1000.
It's decently balanced for a good feel in the hand, has a retractable tip (the clip's "click" is fun to play with) and has a lead grade indicator. It definitely has its flaws, mainly a plastic inner structure and an overall-cheap mechanism, but for $7.50 it's a definite bargain.
Pentel GraphGear 1000 (Amazon US)

If you're looking for a more "niche" pencil, I'd suggest the Pilot Dr. Grip series. They're a bit thicker around than graphing and other normal-width pencils, but have a firm "squishy" grip which makes them great for long-term use.
Amazon sells both the American and Japanese versions- Japanese seems higher-quality and a softer grip, but American is a bit more durable from desk-height drops.
This pencil's main feature, besides the grip, is definitely the Shaker mechanism. I'm personally a fan, because shaking the hand while writing seems natural and allows me to continue writing when lead runs low. It's a bit disruptive in a quiet room, but I'd describe it like the Cherry MX Blue keyboard switches- both loud and satisfying.

Hope this helps, these are just two of my favorite everyday pencils for less than 10 bucks.

[Pilot S20] (https://www.amazon.com/Pilot-Mechanical-Pencil-0-5mm-DR5/dp/B001AX7TUU/ref=sr_1_2?s=office-products&ie=UTF8&qid=1520225383&sr=1-2&keywords=pilot+s20&dpID=41ud31tnK4L&preST=_SX300_QL70_&dpSrc=srch): Wooden barrel mechanical pencil. Very high quality pencil and smooth, silky writing experience -- so it's good for long periods of writing (ie. taking notes, math). Nice weighting -- naturally positions itself toward the paper in your hand.

[Faber Castell TK Fine Vario] (https://www.amazon.com/Faber-Castell-Mechanical-Pencil-135500/dp/B000WEAW2K/ref=sr_1_1?s=office-products&ie=UTF8&qid=1520225493&sr=1-1&keywords=faber+castell+tk+fine+vario&dpID=41E%252BerIBzDL&preST=_SY300_QL70_&dpSrc=srch): High quality pencil w/ a mode for soft writing (for taking notes/general writing) as well as a mode for hard writing (drafting, etc.). Has a smooth, flared metal grip as well as an extendable eraser. Absorbs pressure to avoid lead breakage.

[Rotring Rapid Pro] (https://www.amazon.com/rOtring-1904257-Rapid-Mechanical-Pencil/dp/B0055ZUEZQ/ref=sr_1_1?s=office-products&ie=UTF8&qid=1520225819&sr=1-1&keywords=rotring+rapid+pro): Another very high quality pencil. Although this pencil is generally labeled by people as a drafting pencil, it is definitely great for everyday carry. Nicely cut knurled grip -- even if you're sweating, for example, don't really have to keep repositioning hand. Retractable tip, so pocket safe. Weighting is nice as well, heavier than the S20 though. Very durable. Absorbs pressure to avoid lead breakage.

[Caran D'Ache 844] (https://www.amazon.com/Caran-Dache-Infinite-Mechanical-Pencil/dp/B000WFZ7SS/ref=sr_1_3?s=office-products&ie=UTF8&qid=1520226391&sr=1-3&keywords=caran+dache+844&dpID=31BgbaTFd3L&preST=_SY300_QL70_&dpSrc=srch): This pencil has a clean, simple look to it, and writes beautifully. It is also extremely sturdy and the barrel is aluminum, so it has a nice weight to it as well. Not very fatiguing when writing -- good for long periods.

Note: As someone who is currently enrolled in engineering courses, I believe you can't really go wrong when deciding between these. I own each of them and recommend them equally.

My most recent acquisition is still my favorite : https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001L1QV96/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

But I would suggest starting with something much cheaper to see if you like it first. Here's a great overview of your options :
https://www.jetpens.com/blog/guide-to-lead-holders/pt/740

Something plastic with a simple gravity clutch should cost less than $10 and give you a perfect sense of if you like the tool. I would start off with a 2mm, the thicker ones are really only good for broad work. And don't forget the lead pointer to keep the tip sharp enough for detail work.

Good luck!

The pipeslide is also a wonderful model by the looks of it. I've never used one before, but I do have a Pentel Orenz, which also has the sliding pipe mechanism.


As for how the kurutoga, it's a light pencil if you're into that. The paint on the models with they shiny overcoat WILL wear down over time, which is what happened to mine. But asides from that, they're pretty durable. They're great for the price. If interested, there's a bunch of designs you could choose from. (try searching up the pikachu kurutoga pencil lol)

I wouldn't be wary of the Staedtler 925. The 925-25 and 925-35 are absolutely great writing utensils. Here is a picture of a 925-25 dissassembled. The only plastic in the whole construction is the barrel that contains the leads. Mostly all aluminum.

I would recommend the 0.5mm from my personal experience. It’s a great intermediate general-use lead and the prices are fine. One of the problems when you get down to 0.3mm is that the packages come with half as many leads as 0.5 and 0.7mm packages (Both Pentel Ain Stein and Uni Nanodia do this) so you’re paying twice as much for leads that each have less graphite. It’s easier to break the lead and easier to accidentally puncture cheaper paper when you’re writing with the lead. Larger leads really aren’t that bad, I have a dear friend who loves 0.7 mm and has no issues with using it daily for everything. He also uses a Staedtler 925 often.

The p205 was my introduction to mechanical pencils, because I found a very well loved and abused 205 covered in nicks and scratches on the floor in a hallway on a college campus and used it as my personal pencil for several years after that. Still have it, still works. Amazon currently has $7 for a twin-pack of p205s that I got as cheap but really good pencils to borrow to people during music classes.

My only issue with the p205 is I personally have very sweaty fingers and plastic tends to just get loose in my grip when I've been doing writing or math work for a while, so I ended up saying screw it and bought a rOtring 600. Its nearly all-brass construction is truly a Cadillac of a pencil in performance and price, but it's got ton of heft to it as I described earlier. It will last generations if you are careful with it though. Took my r600 apart and the chuck is a work of art. Closed chuck. And yes that is plastic, I was upset as you are but it doesn't seem load bearing and is the only plastic in the entire r600 besides the very end bit of the internal lead storage barrel.

Thanks for detailed response I really appreciate it. Seems like it's between the staedtler 925 and the Graph Gear 1000 with the Roulette Grip. There seems to be a couple versions of the Staedtler with the 925 25-05 and 925 35-05 being twice the price of the one I linked. Is there difference substantial and I hate to bother you again but of the ones I linked which one would you think is best for long writing for a long time? Thanks again for all the help.

I've had my metal-body Kuru Toga for very nearly three years now, and I love it. This Amazon link comes with some eraser refills and a pack of leads made just for the pencil.

There's a review compilation on the front page that gives it awful scores because the lead rotation mechanism "doesn't work", but I think it should've been obvious to the reviewer that he got a bad apple or something. You can easily verify it by holding the pencil in your hand and looking into the little window on the grip while rapidly pressing the tip a dozen times. I can definitely say the lead rotation works, and is useful. I'll definitely miss it when I move to an rOtring 800.

I like this post. I'm new to the subreddit too and yeah I think knowing how to properly write should be discussed here. I dont think theres much to say but we would love to listen to anyone's input! oh and TopMopy, you've got a nice set on you, the next time youre thinking about getting another mechanical pencil you should look at the [Pental Smash] (http://www.amazon.com/Pentel-Mechanical-Pencil-Smash-Q1005-1/dp/B0013NHU6K/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1462926104&sr=8-1&keywords=pentel+smash)

Maybe the rOtring 500? There really isn't anything special about it, but it looks really nice and it's one of the best grips I've ever used.

rOtring link: http://www.rotring.com/en/mechanical-pencils/288-rotring-500-mechanical-pencil-3501178523058.html

Does anyone know how to get a rotring 800 with metal internals? I'd like another one, as mine is the plastic sort. The lead inside keeps breaking and I've heard the run with metal internals doesn't have this issue.

I found a vendor on Amazon that claims the internals are all metal. They're also running a sale, so it'd be great. Any idea if I can trust that?

I use the Lihit Lab Compact. Its a cheap case and small enough to fit in my jean pocket. I hold 3 pencils, 4 pens, 2 highlighters, spare lead, and a eraser in mine with some room to spare for some slimmer items like sticky notes or something while still being able to fit in my pocket.

One thing I love about it is the materials its made of. The clips on my pencils tend to be a bit on the strong side and with all the other cases i tried the clips snagged when pulling them out or putting them in. With this case I never really had that problem and can pull them out without issues and for most of my pens/pencils I can simply push it back in without having to lift the clip out.

Awesome! Glad to see your collection growing.

I found another one for you (with a UK link as well (: ):

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Duller-Dietrich-Mechanical-Pencil-Notebook/dp/B0045I6UOS

Oh, I also forgot. If you want something bulkier that can carry more than the rolls I linked you below, I have a friend or two that use this case:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004WMWCYE/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER

I like it a lot. It can hold a pretty good amount of stuff (enough for field drafting for me and other Geologists' - i.e. 5 drafting pens, 24 pack colored pencils, erasers, drafting pencils, small ruler / protractor, etc.). I do have this one that I use when I need to pack heavy for field notes, but 90% of the time I don't have to. Hence, the smaller less-bulky rolls I linked you below that I am trying to pick up.

Hope one of my suggestions work for you, let me know what you think!

Nope, never mind. The Amazon ones aren't actually sold by Amazon, and so don't have international shipping. And while Rakuten does vary from shop to shop, I was expecting at least one of them to mention EMS but, well. :/

Sorry for getting your hopes up. If you really want the pencils, you can probably use a forwarding service or something.

Here is what I saw but clearly didn't look closely enough at:

Amazon: Blue Red Navy Black White Green

Rakuten: Shop Shop Shop Shop Shop

That's about the average price for that particular version. FYI, Camel Camel Camel is a must-have tool if you are shopping Amazon. You can track the price history, set alerts when a price drops, and they even have a handy Chrome plugin so you can just click the icon when you are on an amazon page instead of going to the 3camels website. I highly recommend it. For instance, I just got an alert yesterday because the Rapid Pro I was tracking dropped to $22.

The Pentel P200 series mechanical pencils are great for writing and drawing. I use one in .5mm in High School (9th) and it works great. They will last you a long time and they are not expensive.

I used to use a Clic Eraser but switched to the Clic Eraser Pro as the tip is smaller. The material is a lot harder but it still erases just as well. The metal casing gives it a feel that better matches the Spoke as well.

Best price for the Rotring 800 was in the middle of July during Prime Day, about 20 dollars from Amazon and another 3rd party seller. I got mine around that time.

​

Edit: Proof on CamelCamelCamel https://camelcamelcamel.com/rOtring-Retractable-Mechanical-Pencil-1904447/product/B00AZWNS84

I was in the exact same boat, this is what I got, it's been awesome

Comfortably stores 2 pencils/loop for a total of 12 pencils. You could probably squeeze in 3/loop but I wouldn't. I currently have 9 pencils in mine. The loops are very nice and tight and the pencils don't wobble or slide at all(even my spoke which doesn't have a clip and is slippery). There's enough room above/below my pencils for my eraser and my two lead canisters.

I love the S20, hands down my favourite pencil so far. I also have the graph gear 1000.

If you can afford it, afford to lose it then the S20 is a great pencil, I prefer it in deep red. The pen is great for everyday writing, not too heavy and looks amazing.

The GG1000 is quite heavy, balance feels off for me and I never quite enjoyed writing with it. The retracting mechanism is cool (and loud), body picks up some scuffs here and there but it still works.

Seems like loads of people use this one- you can check out the pocket configuration in the photos. Main thing is, it's not too bulky & still has good storage and protection. I like it https://www.amazon.com/LIHIT-LAB-Case-Black-A7551-24/dp/B004WMWCYE

The graphgear 1000 and rotring 600 are the most highly recommended pencils on the subreddit, but if neither of these suit your fancy, jetpens has an excellent selection.

It’s the Lihit Lab Pen Case. It’s on Amazon for $8-10. Been loving it so far. Here’s the link to it: https://www.amazon.com/LIHIT-Case-inches-Black-A7551-24/dp/B004WMWCYE/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1538077661&sr=8-2&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=lihit+lab&dpPl=1&dpID=41iFZrvOA8L&ref=plSrch

More expensive than this offer on Amazon and you gotta wait who knows how long. Shipping can make or break a Massdrop deal, too.

https://www.amazon.com/rOtring-0-5mm-Mechanical-Pencil-502505N/dp/B00C1YNBQS

Massdrop is only good for really weird stuff, like mechanical keyboards and caps that require a group buy because they rarely get produced.

Anything from Lihit Lab. It’s inexpensive and solid. I have the “Teffa” model and it holds a lot. I also use Nock cases. They are made in the U.S. and are amazing.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004WMWCYE/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_6ee3CbSDTN62H

https://nockco.com/cases

The only place on the page it says used is the "used & new from $22.17", which means that you can get it used for cheaper if you want. this one itself is unused

*EDIT* if you go to https://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B00AZWNS84/ref=dp_olp_all_mbc?ie=UTF8&condition=all it clearly marks the $28.49 one from amazon as new

The eraser I found on Amazon here which is the pencil eraser but I bought the refills to put into this as I liked the look a lot more, but it is technically a pen eraser (comes with a different insert, but they are the same products just different colours.

Whilst looking on amazon, I saw this rapid pro for $16, but it's this cheap due to how long it's going to take to arrive to places like the U.S.A and etc.

Nice collection! I have a few more items for you to consider adding, should you be so inclined:

• Uni Kuru Toga Pipe Slide: Plastic variant of the same line but with a retractable tip. Although I prefer the feel of the Roulette (which you already have in silver), I carry the Pipe Slide in my shirt pocket every day because it won't poke holes like the Roulette does. For those unfamiliar with the Kuru Toga line of mechanical pencils, they automatically rotate the lead every time you press it to the paper, avoiding flat spots and keeping it sharp on all sides. Note that this occurs each time you press down, not as you keep pressing. Thus, drawing a line rotates one notch (because you only set the tip to paper once), whereas writing letters, dots, etc. rotates multiple notches as you continue to repeatedly press the tip to the paper for each character.
  
• General's mechanical eraser: finer tip than most mechanical erasers, and nice pen-style grip. Refills are also available but I've found they're often cheaper locally. (Amazon sells 3-pack refills for ~$4 but my local college art store sells them for half that.)
  
• Tombow Mono mechanical erasers: Extremely fine erasers for detail, more than even General's, for uses such as erasing small lines while drawing. You can order sets of both shapes (round and rectangular) or just one, and they're available in silver or black.

Here's a link

They're easy to find on Amazon and Jetpens. Jetpens is usually a little more expensive though.

Have some stuff Muji coming in as well but decided to post now :)

It has a retractable tip so that helps protect it.

You can get a Pentel GraphGear 1000 from Amazon for under $9. That'd be my vote.

https://www.amazon.com/Pentel-Automatic-Drafting-Pencil-PG1017C/dp/B000GAXKGU/

But it's also hard to beat the Pentel Sharp iguy2345 mentioned. They're basic, but bombproof. I like the TwistErase, too.

You can track the pricing on the rOtring 600 0.5mm on Amazon.
I've been tracking the rOtrings for quite some time now and I'd say the prices are actually dropping.
https://ca.camelcamelcamel.com/Rotring-Barrel-Mechanical-Pencil-1904443/product/B00AZWYUA4
You can use this website to help you track the price. Once, the price dipped down to $20.99 and I nabbed three rOtring 600s once I saw that.

I hope this helps .

It doesn't say anything about metal internals, but since it became available more recently (only after the one I ordered the first time ran out of stock) I guessed it might be the new one... no idea if it will be the right one for other people.

This is the one I ordered: Pentel Clic Eraser for Pro

Then there's these two meant for ink: Pentel Clic Hyper Eraser(ZE32) and Pentel Clic Eraser (ZE33)

You can use each eraser type in any of the three different eraser bodies.

The Rotring 600s are $18 on Amazon

Same here in the uk, the 0.5mm 600 is reduced without having to buy another. Other Rotrings are also reduced.

Oh boy. That's the Rotring 600. Probably the go to recommendation of this sub.

600 is on prime deal for the next couple of hours under $15

A few weeks ago the Rotring Rapid Pro, 600 and 800 were going for under $30 on Amazon. You could try those. They're built so well I feel like I could hurt someone by just knocking them on the head with one.

Edit: here you go

No 800 in 0.7mm under $30 I'm afraid.
