Pentel A3 120DX mechanical automatic pencil 0.5mm A300 black barrel

I needed a second set of pencils for College, one set to hold 2b leads and another to hold B leads, so I needed the pencil sets to look different from each other to save confussion. This pencil comes with one HB lead. It holds it's grip on the lead, with no slippage. The pencil feels nice in the hand. Is well balanced and has a little bit of weight behind it. The eraser under the cap, wears down quickly but can be useful if you haven't got a seperate eraser to hand. The pencil looks good and is solidly made, not like a cheap pencil. To retract the lead after uses, press the cap down and push the lead back in. This makes it pocket friendly. You can also get other size pencils in this range. 0.3mm 0.5mm 0.7mm and 0.9mm. These pencils are value for money. Good for School or College. (My other reviews will say the same about other pencils in this range).

The price of mechanical pencils can be a bit eye watering and even though I use one every day at work I am not keen on shelling out a huge amount on one. Which is where the Pentel comes in. They are way better than you would expect for the price & incredibly reliable. The leads & erasers are very easy to replace and are stocked just about everywhere at reasonable cost. The grip is set just right and the feel of the pencil, while plastic, is firm and gives confidence in use. The lead's move smoothly into place with a quick depress of the top as they wear and make for accurate writing/ drawing. I guess that if you want a product for continual technical use that some more expensive options are perhaps more for you but if using for everyday drawing & writing then these are hard to beat + if you lose one you'll not need to worry too much as it is cheaply replaced.

Really good and can recommend!!

Happy with the pencil seems to stay sharp when writing and comfortable grip.

I’ve used these for years, no stopping to sharpen and refillable, excellent.

If you like a lightweight pencil with a non slip grip then this is for you .

The product developed a fault and the seller would not provide a repair, replacement, or refund. Poor customer service with AI generated replies. I had to escalate the issue to Amazon to receive a refund.

Excellent, my drawings have improved, so happy I bought this mechanical pencil, ease of use, and the lead just issues right amount each time, and doesn't break.

Loved this pencil so much that ordered a second one. Have had the first for years now.

C'est du Pentel, rien à redire.

Well it took more than one month to arrive and I found Pentel P205 🤣 I am not mad though to receive something better than nothing!

perfekt

I want to thank Amazon for their excellent customer service. The pen initially arrived incomplete, but when I requested an exchange, they promptly sent me a brand-new one. As for the pen itself, it's fairly good—I'd rate it 3.5/5 overall.
