    Five, but I want the 0.9mm and not the 0.7.

    7 all the way. Though a nice metal mechanical pencil does sound nice.

    Probably #1, I love the weight of the metal at the bottom.

      The issue is the plastic internal mechanisms will wear out eventually. The Pentels have a metal core which has never worn out from my usage. I always end up losing the pencils before they break. The same can’t be said for the BICs.

    0.5mm for #1 or #3.

    Get that grubby ugly 0.7mm lead outta here.

      Nah. Fine enough for detail work, but thick enough to handle varying pressure for shading of isometric representations.

    Number 7. A pleasure to write with, cheap enough so you don’t get mad when you lose it. Eraser that doesn’t suck.

    Pocket clip does tend to shear off, though.

    If you choose #2 you’ll eventually not be able to write anything ever again because you can’t just add more lead.

    • KazuchijouNo@lemy.lol ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      I think it’s the only type of pencil you can use, not the only pencil.

      As in: you can get as many of your preferred pencil as you need, but you cannot use any of the others.

    The Dixon Ticonderoga is the only pencil I’ve used that doesn’t have an absolute shit eraser, so I pick that.

      I never use integrated erasers apart from emergency like my standalome eraser got launched out of the test room and the staff won’t get it for me. Or for wood pencils when they are unusable for writing I’ll save them as erasers. I just hate having partial erasers or stuck half erasers in mechanical pencils.

  • AceFuzzLord@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    I got a Pentel with a tip like #3, so if #1 had the #3 tip I’d absolutely say #1.

    My 0.7mm Pentel pencil has been the best pencil/mechanical pencil I have ever used, for the most part. It was definitely overpriced, like everything at a college bookstore, but it’s been such an amazing pencil. Only problem is that I can’t have it loose in the pockets of my spring jackets or it will try to poke through the cheap fabric.

      I love the standard twist-erase, I bought a bunch of them in college and still use them. What’s different about the GT?

      I was coming here to say this. Truly a disappointment that the Pentel Twist Erase GT is not included as a choice.

  • greedytacothief@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    My current pencils in use are a Pentel graph 1000 for pro in .3mm which is my top choice. Then I have a kokuyo enpitsu in .9mm which is very cheap and comfortable to use, and a Sheaffer twist mechanical pencil thing that is just really fun to use and has a nice heavy metal body.

    I can’t say I would choose any of the above pencils, I don’t even see any lead holders (clutch pencils)!

      Damn straight. Best pencil I’ve ever had. Well, the 0.5mm. I write too small for 0.7.

        .5mm or .3mm for me, the only place I use a .7mm or a .9mm is with woodworking.

      Full metall you say? Damnn.

      I didn’t know about this brand and now I have been pushed into extensive research of their whole lineup of mechanical pens.

      The 800 looks amazing but I’ve heard some people complaining about the nib being a bit wobbly, is that true in your experience?

      source
      • jivandabeast@lemmy.browntown.dev ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        I don’t have a problem with the tip being wobbly, but it’s definitely a concern. I think its just a problem that you would get with any retractable tip pencil.

        IMO, even if it did wobble, it’s worth the inconvenience. I used to have a mechanical pencil with a non-retractable tip & one drop ruined it.

        source
      • guiguinofake@sh.itjust.works ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        IIRC the 600 is pretty much the same pencil but with a non retractable tip. It might be better for you unless you carry it around.

        source
    • benderbeerman@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      I’m surprised nobody else has rotring… my favorite by a considerable amount. Second place goes to the Uni Kuro Toga. Both fantastic pencils, but the weight and feel of the rotring 600 just leaves everything else in the dust

      source
      • FarFarAway@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        The rotring is super smooth, but its so heavy. I wanted it to be my favorite, but I ended up reaching for the kuro toga far more. Doesnt help that the tip of the rotring bent and dented out on the first drop. I bent it back and it still works, as long as I don’t rotate it.

        Just because it has “BIC” written on it, does not make it a BIC pencil.

      What is it like to hold? I have a few nice mechanical pencils but wouldn’t mind to get something a bit less expensive for when I travel to the office (my everyday is a YOL but I don’t like taking it out… ADHD, outside, and nice things do not mix well).

    • Th3D3k0y@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      I have 3 of them, one of which is metal and cost me more than I’d like for a pencil but holy hell is it nice to write with.
