SAKURA SumoGrip Pencil with Comfort Grip - 0.9 mm Ergonomic Mechanical Pencil - Clear

I had one for like 15 years! I got a second one just incase I lose one. Has the biggest eraser and is the most comfortable to write with. Its simple and pretty durable. I feel its pretty good for those with arthritis in their hands like I do. The grip is soft enough but not gooey/squishy, it gives some heft to hold on to. Only problem is, the eraser tends to twist back down into the body when erasing, so you have to twist it back out constantly. Otherwise its great pencil.

I used another one (that I bought in person) at school and man, do I LOVE them.They're a perfect size for me (I love the larger pencils) and perfectly weighty. The led is 0.9mm, and it's perfect for my handwriting and drawing. The gripper is soft and nice to hold onto, and squishy!The eraser is replaceable and is fairly large. You can screw/unscrew it, and it's fun to play with when you're just sitting in class.However, it only comes with 2 pieces of led, so if you're looking for a long-term pencil, get more led. However, in my experience, I used the same pencil for half the school year and only needed to put in 2 more pieces of led, so it uses it slowly.Overall, this pencil is a great buy and I would buy it multiple more times. Highly recommended, and I'd highly recommend getting extra led and erasers for longer use.

I love this pencil. The reason why is the grip.At first, I was not sure why everyone wanted this pencil. It is not made of metal, it does not have any fancy mechanism inside, so what made it so popular? The grip is what.When I used my friend's sumo grip pencil, once I held the grip it was so satisfying. It has a nice squishy feel to it, holds perfectly in your hands, allows you to hold it without having hand cramps, and it is hard to go back to a thin pencil after using it for awhile.I think this pen is worth it, especially if you have to do a lot of math, physics, or engineering problems (like me :P)0.9mm lead is great too. The lead does not break as often, it is really bold, and think in line weight. I notice though that the 0.5 lead is easier to write with because 0.9 lead takes more force to put lines. Maybe it has to do with an increase resistance, due to the larger radius of the lead.Also, for some sumo grip pencils the tips can get unscrewed. Sometimes, the eraser on the pencil is sometimes uncomfortable to use since it retracts the pen and releases more lead. But that might just be me. I use one of those square erasers to avoid this.Love the grip though !

Functions great. Pencil is comfortable, and my hands are larger than most 5’8” women. Good for a lot of writing. Lead and eraser are perfect. No other pencil will do.I also let my 6 year old grandson use it and he was able to hold it better than a #2 pencil.

Very good mechanical pencil. It is one of my favorites. It is comfortable to write with and I love the darkness of the lead for doing my crossword puzzles. I have already purchased a second one like this. This is a very good buy.

I used to have one of these as a kid till a little rat stole it. To who ever stole that pencil all those years ago: screw you.Anyway, it’s a pretty okay pencil for those with a grip to strangle the gods. Personally I’m not a fan on the ribbed texture and the triangular shape of the grip but my sister is pretty fond of it and is her go to pencil for all her assignments. I bought the 0.9mm pencil and the lead is pretty great, it’s thick and there’s zero worry about the lead breaking on me.

Perfect grip, nice dark lead and overall great quality.

I like it
