Staedtler Mechanical Pencil 1.3 mm, Yellow Body (771)

Wow, this is a high quality pencil. With arthritic hands, i bought it because there are very few fat mechanical pencils, and this one fits comfortably in my hand. It is a great value. My only con about it is, that it takes 1.3 lead. This is a very thick lead. But, it is a carpenter pencil, not meant for writing but for marking wood, so it had a thick and dark line. Not a fault of the product, but my ignorance. Very good value, great quality, and i bought 3 pack refills, so i am definitely keeping it. This would make a great pencil for a preschooler learning how to write, easy for them to hold. Also the lead doesn't break like the thin leads do as easily. Refills are fairly inexpensive. The appearance is so cool, a yellow and black body with a funky red plunger and eraser area.

I've been disappointed with how easily my .5mm leads break with my Alvin Draftmatic when I'm sketching big or bold. Wanted a thicker lead so that I could use 2B without having to deal with constant breaks. This pencil is a great compromise, with 1.3mm lead It weighs nothing - like a feather. Took a while to get used to, but I like it now. Feels great in the hand, nice and chonky, and I haven't had a lead break yet. 1.3mm is fat and sturdy, yet not so big you need to sharpen it. Big pencil, big lines. The tip retracts inside for protection. The eraser is refillable with the June Gold retractable 12 pack, just cut them in half. I don't usually like plasticky things, but this is the exception. Bought the mega pack of Bild 2B leads and I'm all set.

This pencil didn't come with any extra leads or erasers. I had seen videos that showed it in a little blister back with all that fun stuff, but this one was just the pencil. I knew I'd need more leads so I found these ( Paper Mate Mates 1.3mm Mechanical Pencil Starter Set, 5 Colored Barrel Mechanical Pencils (1868817) ) Each pencil in that pack has a lead in it and then there's a big box of leads as well for very low cost. I'm not too worried about refilling the eraser because the one that's included is probably more than I'll ever use. The eraser is about 1.5 inches long. I love the way it winds out too. The retractable tip is nice, but on a pencil this substantial I question the necessity of that feature. The grip is very large and triangular, which I love in my big hands. I use this as an alternative to a carpenters pencil for things like writing notes on wood. It's great because you can always just turn the pencil a little to get a nice sharp line for writing on paper, then roll back a little for writing on a rougher surface. I don't do much drafting these days but this would be an excellent bordering pencil and great for outlining cross sections and such. Once the tip is worn down, the lines it draws are very thick. I used to use 0.9mm pencils for stuff like that, but now I'll reach for this guy. I also love the amount of leads you can fit in here. I think it can hold 6 + 1 in the "chamber". I've used other pencils that can hold 1 only, and you can add a second only after using the first to about 30%. This one doesn't have that problem.

Yes, this is the pencil I have been looking for. I wish I had it when I took drafting years ago. Now, it is the perfect tool for those back of the envelope designs I am famous for. All good engineering takes place between the brain and the paper, and this is the tool you need. Try teaching a student a new concept one on one, you will find you have to draw. Always have the right tool at hand, and this is it! However! If you look at the photos, after constant daily use small cracks form on the three corners, loosening the press fit. The grip pushes away from the barrel. Still going to use after a touch of super glue to cracks and an over wrap of 1” gorilla tape on barrel. Just lost one star as I really use this a lot. Daily crossword and soduku and it doesn’t rip the paper. I’ve become a sketching fiend since I got it- inspired by having the right tool. Use for my log entries and notes. Where the rubber grip is the two sections began to fall apart from too much spring tension when clicking to extend the lead. I went to my composites lab and added a touch of JB Weld at each corner and across the ribs. Let set an hour. No problems since! I used this pencil dozens of times a day. I get asked where I got such a neat pencil. Amazon Staedtler! You got your star back. Leave it in my jacket pocket at work, so I got another one for at home!

I bought this to use hopefully as an EDC mechanical pencil. I’ve carried a Fisher Space pen in my pocket now for at least 10 years and have found myself at times wishing I had a pencil instead. My absolute favorite mechanical pencil is the Write in the Rain 1.3mm pencil, I have at least four of them, one in each of my notepad pouches. I’ve attached a few photos to show how big this pencil actually is, including one that compares it to the Write in the Rain 1.3 mm pencil. This one is just a tad too long and a much to chunky for EDC. I included my EDC pouch from Alpaka that I started carrying about a year ago after I poked holes in my pockets with my pen and flashlight (luckily I caught each one as they dropped out while walking).

太さ、握りやすさ、軽さがマッチしていてこのシリーズを定番で使っている。 本体が金属製のシャープペンよりもぬくもり感があって漢字も書きやすい。本場ドイツでは子供用？の筆記具とされているようだが日本人には丁度いいサイズ感ではないだろうか。白、青、黄色と３色コレクションしている。
