And here I am with my 2 dollar plastic pink mechanical pencil I found in the "back to school" section at Walmart haha.

Nice to see the Pentel 200 series still in use, like you I have had all 4 sizes for about 25 to 30 years now, and I wouldn't change them. have tried some others but always come back to my pentels, and  I also mostly use the 0.5 for everything like your good self, good review smoothie.

In school, I used mechanical pencils all day, every day. After experimenting with nearly every variety I could find, the Pentel P205 emerged as my clear favorite. I would wrap some cork tape around the grip section and it was perfect.

I really like all the Pentel Graph gear pencils, particularly the 1000, but all are good. My favorite mechanical pencil for drawing, thought, is the Pentel 200 series. These cost about five bucks, sometimes a good bit less, they weigh nothing, and the just keep going. I have the first set I bought about forty years ago, and I can't even guess how many miles of lines, how many sketches and drawing, and how many hundreds of thousands of words have gone into these pencils, but they still work.

I'm not fond of the grip, but I use a thin slip on foam or silicon grip, and this turns them into a completely wonderful pencil. These are the pencils all the pros I worked with used, even after trying dozens of more expensive pencils. With the cheap slip on grip, I absolutely love them to death.

One mechanical pencil that I don't think gets enough love is the Pentel Graphlet. If the Graph Gear 1000 and the P200 had a child, I think it would be the Graphlet.

Bravo. The Staedtler 925 Silver series 0.3 is the first mechanical pencil I've ever enjoyed. I am a wooden pencils -phile and crusader. There are just a couple more brands left that I am looking to try, but I doubt any will match or surpass my experiences with the 925 series. Great video. Really enjoying it! I can no longer feel alone in my attention to detail when it comes to writing and drawing instruments.

You have very pleasant accent and voice
Very knowledgeable sir
P. S.
I didn't skip any ads ( I think it supports your video a bit)

I know this is very old but I just want to say that I have the one you're holding at 15:43 (2 mm lead) and I love it. One of the reasons is Staedler's unique rotary sharpener that I'm able to use with it. I can get needle sharp points with that. I also have the Staedler that's the 4th from the left at 15:43. It's nice, but I find the grip to be a bit hard. I like a more cushiony feel. I have 2 of them and one broke.

Being a student that's very picky what I write with this video was very informative. Plan on buying a couple of these pencils listed in your video to try out for the coming semester.

I've tried all sorts of mech pencils, my current favourite is Kuru Toga rubber grip version. Really well-balanced, and not too thick or thin to hold, so I get zero fatigue from using it.

This was a really good video. No big face just lots of good information and a perfectly pitched voice that makes me pay attention. I have no artistic gifts but I love having the materials that artists use and when I hold and play with them I pretend the finger of heaven may touch me one day and In the next

Thank you for this! I just bought a Staedtler 925 series 2mm and now I know I picked well.

just a tip on the graphgear, you don't need to push in the lead before you retract the tip, once you retract the tip the lead moves freely and you can just push it in without pushing the button on top.

I appreciate that you have defined logical reasons as to why you like and don't like certain pencils. People ask me why I haven't purchased an Ohto Super ProMecha. I have countless reviews (including yours), verifying that many dislike it. So, why take a chance on something so many revile? Then again, I also really dislike the grip of the GraphGear. To each their own on that one. ;) I'm guessing that the 2 mm 925 does not have a lead sharpener built in?

Your sharing's helped me a lot. As a beginner, I know now how to select good mechanical pencils for myself. Thank you.

[carmen]

Thanks for the great reviews and detail! Ordered some Pentel pencils, based on your review :)

Great video and very pleasant voice. Subscribed.

Personally, I'm a big fan of the Super Promecha, and I love the metal grip. But then again, I have small fingers so they don't really come in contact with the other lines too often. I just picked mine up recently, and I'm still very pleased with it. But to each his own.

I currently use my iPad pro and an apple pencil, for some odd reason I made my way into searching for mechanical pencils.
