## Description

Finest writing instruments/ stationary products from Japan, Mechanical Pencil, graph gear 1000, for Draft, 0. 3mm

Review: The best mechanical pencil you are likely to come across - In short: Fulfils all criteria to guarantee an excellent product experience. Looks: I have lost track of how many years I have had mine (best part of a decade now). They still look the business and are often asked about by my clients whilst I am using them. One was even stolen, so I suppose that makes them quite desirable. Construction: The retractable tip is just perfect. It has a slight springiness to it that not only cushions the writing/drawing experience, but also helps avoid lead breakages, although the modern hi-poly' refills are pretty good in their own right. Made principally of plastic and aluminium, it is light yet very robust. The combination of a knurled section and rubber grip is perfect - no readjustment or sweaty finger problems. There are no fancy gears that turn the lead around (as advertised by other products) neither have I ever thought to myself that I need one of those - one less unnecessary mechanism that can go wrong = minimalism = long-lasting = happy owner. Use: Always works well, very easy to carry around (very light). Solid enough construction to withstand severe punishment - mine has been submerged in water for ~3 days (flood while I was away) & dropped from a height of over 10m (~30ft) - accidentally dropped in the space between staircase - which obliterated the lead refills inside but the pen works just fine. If it was the cheaper plastics varieties of mechanical pencils then they would not have survived. I'm also sure that some of the more expensive varieties will not be able to boast this. Even if it did stop working, replacing them is not going to be too painful. As testament to how well these have worked, I now have 3 varieties of these that take different refill sizes, as well as a spare 0.5mm as my all-rounder when I have to jot down or explain anything on the go. The oldest one is pushing a decade in age and looks/works like new. [For the astute fans out there: yes, they did make minor changes in their construction over the years, but not to any detriment] Conclusion: I have never been let down, only pleasantly surprised. I would highly recommend this over any other product I have tried (including comparisons against other brands that are >4x more expensive). A fantastic product that offers excellent value and many years of great service. This product has never disappointed me and I'm certain that most will agree once they have had the pleasure of using it.
Review: Favourite pencil - I have two of these and been using them for around 7 years now. Majority of that use has been in diy, woodworking, second fixing, etc. Accurate marking, comfortable in the hand and the retracting nib is great in use. I always clip the pencil to my trouser pocket so the retraction means, 1) the nib itself and the leads within are protected when I'm moving around, 2) the nib isn't stabbing me in the thigh when I'm moving around, 3) it puts you into the habit of clipping it away so the pencil is always where you think it is (unlike when I use other pencils and end up wasting countless minutes trying to remember where I put it down or what pocket I hid it in).

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What hardness of lead comes with this pencil?**
A: It comes with an H. I replaced this with my preference. An excellent pencil for sharp, clear lines.

**Q: What is the difference between this (PG1013) and the PG1013E?**
A: I think they are same. PG1013 is for selling in Japan. PG1013E(Maybe, E means for English persons) is for selling in the US.

**Q: how do you refill leads into it?**
A: Pull off the end cap that exposes the eraser, then put out the eraser and drop the lead into the opening.

**Q: why does it NOT accept new lead?  what am i doing wrong when trying to add new lead that was made for it?**
A: Hello.  The Pentel Graphgear 1000 comes in a variety of lead sizes. .3,.4..5,.7 and .9 mm. Please make sure you have the correct size for the pencil you have. Once you do, I load the lead from the top by removing the cap, then the eraser. Lastly, I drop a piece of lead inside of it.  I work the action until the new piece has gone through and ready to write/draw. I then place a few more into the top and put the eraser and cap back on. I hope it works for you, because this is a very nice mechanical pencil.  If not, then I would resort to the other suggestions, which I have never had to do with this mechanical pencil, but I have on many others. Good luck.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I adore this pencil.
*by R***R on 13 December 2023*

Since buying this mechanical pencil I haven't picked up a normal pencil. The mechanical pencil is easy to use, the top of the barrel where the lead is, goes back into the pencil after use to protect it. The eraser is great, and is replaceable, as is the lead. And for the price point this pencil is ten times better than any other one I've tried. I love the solid, weighty feel it has, and how if you drop it, the lead doesn't break. I love how comfortable it is to hold in my hand, even after hours of holding it. I also love the thickness of the lead and how it gives a soft, fine line when written with. I also use it for drawing outlines before I paint in watercolour or acrylics. This is such a wonderful mechanical pencil in every way and I have now bought another one from the same merchant and intend to buy more in different sizes in the future. I highly recommend this device.
