From the manufacturer
The Pentel GraphGear 1000 mechanical pencil is a superior drafting pencil for architects, draftsmen, artists and enthusiasts. The 4mm tip design makes it ideal for use with rulers and templates. A unique, dual-action retractor advances and retracts the pencil tip to protect lead from breaking. The built-in lead hardness indicator allows you to easily identify your lead type. It comes pre-loaded with Stein HB lead, which never needs sharpening and produces a clear dark line. The finely chiseled metallic grip inlaid with soft, rubber pads makes extended writing and drawing comfortable.
Four different point sizes for varied line weights.

If You Want A Pencil, This Is THE One
As a student I write for hours each day, taking notes and doing tests. After using the GraphGear 1000 0.5mm for over a year, I can never go back to wood pencils or even other mechanical ones.It’s made almost completely from metal, and it’s enjoyable to write with.The retractable sleeve is extremely convenient because when I’m in a rush I can toss the pencil in my pocket and not worry about it bending.Another unique thing about this pencil is that the clip has a spring so it’s easy to use.When writing for a long time it feels top-heavy, but the weight is also positive because it leads to a smoother writing experience.The eraser is relatively small so I would recommend not using it and instead buy some block erasers (such as the Pentel Hi-Polymers ones which I love).One piece of advice for using the GraphGear: When you retract the tip, it uses quite a bit of force and I imagine it could possibly damage the pencil over time. I always cover the cap with my index finger so it can be let back slowly and gently.I’ve purchased 3 and given them as gifts to some of my friends.If I were to make any changes, I would get rid of the rubber on the grip. I love pencils & pens with just metal knurling, such as the Zebra F-xMD pen.I also like using the Kurutoga Roulette pencil, because it rotates and has a better grip. However, I prefer the GraphGear 1000 because the metal feels premium and the retractable tip prevents any bending.
