Let's jump in.
Pentel GraphGear 300.
Thanks to its low center of gravity,
the Pentel GraphGear 300
makes drawing and writing comfortable.
Its grip section also offers two styles.
The top portion has raised metal pieces
while the section closer to the tip has cut-out panels,
so you can pick the surface which feels best.
An internal lead chuck securely holds the lead in place
so it won't slide back inside the pencil
while you're writing.
For something with a little more heft,
try the Pentel GraphGear 1000,
one of our most popular drafting pencils.
It offers has an aluminum body, fully retractable tip,
and spring-loaded clip.
Pentel Orenz.
If you want extra fine lines,
look no further than the Pentel Orenz.
It features lead sizes as precise
as 0.2 and 0.3 millimeters.
Despite being so fine, the lead won't break
because of the pencil's built-in protection mechanism.
Its guide pipe shields the entire length of the lead,
retracting as it wears down.
Just make sure you don't extend the lead too far out
or breakage might occur.
Since the guide pipe has rounded edges,
it also won't snag on paper.
Pilot Mogulair.
Innovative and convenient,
the Pilot Mogulair absorbs pressure
to prevent lead breakage.
Its special active suspension mechanism
reduces the initial jolt from putting the tip
on the page by 50%.
This mechanism also allows the lead to retract slightly
to avoid snapping when there's too much pressure.
To extend the lead, just shake the pencil up and down.
Pilot THE Dr. Grip.
Pilot's Dr. Grip line
has been lauded time and time and again
for its ergonomic grip design.
It provides just the right amount of support
with a firm outer layer and soft inner layer.
Their latest release is called THE Dr. Grip.
In addition to the ergonomic silicone grip,
the lead extends with a simple shake
so you don't have to adjust your hand.
You can still click the button at the top
to extend the lead, though.
When it's time to put the pencil away,
twisting the grip section will keep lead
from accidentally extending in your pen case.
Sun-Star Nicolo.
Have you ever seen a multi mechanical pencil before?
Hell yes. (beeps)
The Sun-Star Nicolo includes two sizes of lead
in one cute body.
To switch lead sizes, just twist the barrel.
Turning it to the right brings out
the ultra-fine 0.3 millimeter tip
which is great for writing small notes,
and twisting to the left extends a 0.5 millimeter tip
for everyday writing.
Tombow Mono Graph Shaker.
The Tombow Mono Graph Shaker
makes note-taking easy and effortless.
Instead of adjusting your hand to click a button,
all you have to do is shake the pencil.
When you're not using it, simply push the clip upwards
to lock the shaker mechanism.
This way, lead won't accidentally come out
if the pencil gets jostled in a bag.
It also features the popular Tombow Mono eraser
that extends with a quick twist.
Uni Kuru Toga.
Keep your writing consistent and clean
with the Uni Kuru Toga.
The pencil ensures the lead stays uniformly sharp
by turning the lead incrementally
each time it's lifted from the page.
Besides preventing smudgy lines,
it also protects the lead from breaking
due to uneven pressure distribution.
The Kuru Toga also comes in an Alpha Gel Grip version.
The extra soft grip offers a perfect balance
of cushion and support.
Zebra DelGuard.
The Zebra DelGuard boasts a two-part system
that keeps lead from breaking.
First, a spring in the barrel
lets lead slide back into the body
when there's an excess of vertical pressure.
A second spring in the tip extends the lead guard
if too much sideways pressure is applied.
With less lead breakage to deal with,
you don't need to worry about interruptions
in your concentration.
