Cheap as shit, just werks, buy a new one when old one breaks.
I just wish they weren't so brightly colored. I would totally buy a silk white one.

I find that using the Uni Kuru Toga mechanical pencil amazing to use. The mechanical pencil lead rotates to keep the tip sharp giving you a sharp clean tip for each new word & line that you write and draw. Never failed me yet!

If your still unsure try reading this blog. Gives reviews on mechanical pencils and such...

Despite coming built-in with 3 sticks of lead, I always throw them out when the eraser is spent.

Is that wasteful?

>>44237671
>kuru toga

fuck that, the barrel on mine cracked

After getting both a Rotring 600 and 800, the 800 sucks balls. Retraction mechanism is shit and jams. Fixing is a pain and still doesn't advance properly when lead runs out. The 600's non retractable tip is fragile and a pain if you just stick it in your pants, but fixing is easy.

>>44239882
How does that work?

>>44239931
>There is a slightest 'floating point' feeling to the lead, as the little black part on the tip, to which the lead rod is attached (see the close up picture of the nib), is directly mounted to the internal 'Kuru Toga Engine', which is a spring-loaded clutch. That black part hence 'moves' inside the pencil for a fraction of a millimeter (you barely see it) each time you hit the paper, activating the spring-loaded clutch, which rotates the lead. But in all honesty, if you don't concentrate to see it and feel it, you don't really notice.

I have one of these and I like the way it looks and feels, except the damn thing SQUEAKS sometimes. I've tried with a couple different brands of lead (and one of the brands is one I use in a different pencil) and it squeaks with both of them. My only conclusion is that the squeak comes from the pencil itself. Too bad, it makes me dread using it.

My favorite is the Pilot S3 0.5mm. Cheap and feels good.

Graph paper notebooks exist, 1/4" or 5mm is good. Fuck composition notebooks (go for spiral bound)

If you're doing homework, I'd recommend using printer/scrap paper and then throwing that shit out. The point of homework is to make sure you can do it, not so that you can copy from it later. A "notebook" is fine for class, but focusing on the teacher comes first, only write shit down if you want to do some work to figure out something, or if you want to write agenda related stuff. Do not actually use paper as your memory, it is shit.

One day, children. Just you wait, you'll grow up and get a god-tier blue Staedtler pencil that has a special lead sharpener. If you're truly elite, you'll use your fresh Exacto knife blade to sharpen it precisely to your desires.

>>44241819
I've had that same model for 3 or 4 years now. It's great.

>>44242982

I actually use a Rotring 600 0.35mm with Pentel Ain Stein B lead now.

(Rest of this message is not specifically as a reply)

Pencil is nice and hefty, brass body feels incredibly durable and quality, mechanism is precise. Lead is buttery smooth, nice thin but visible line, no smearing, no need to rotate because it doesn't form a noticeable wedge. An absolute dream to use for all kinds of EE tasks.

If someone's looking for an eraser, I highly recommend Kokuyo's erasers (I use the B/HB variety). I tested 10 brands and models of erasers and found the Kokuyo Campus to be the perfect balance of easy erasing, erasing power, well-behaved clumps and performance when dirty with previously erased lead or skin oils. In my opinion, it's even in power with Staedtler but superior in many other convenient points, not the least of which is erasing power given less pressure and friction.

I've used BIC mechanical pencils my whole life.

How much better are other ones? I want to experience a magical feeling when writing or drawing.

>>44237291
I pretty much just go get a bag of these every couple months (I lose the fucking things more often than I'd care to admit).

actually, I also don't have a nice pen simply because I keep losing the damn things, so I just get a big-ass pack of bic pens as well

>>44244282

I'm fairly certain the heft, wonderful balance and knurled metal grip of a brass-bodied pencil would help you not forget it everywhere. It's natural to treat BICs like shit, but when you acquire a Rotring you treat it like your firstborn.

This exactly

Rotring 600 reporting in.

Ask me anything

Up until my Junior level of high school, I had that problem as well. Then I found a very nice pencil one day, and the more I used it, the more I fell in love with it, and the more careful I became when handling and taking care of it. This might sound silly, but actually buying an expensive pencil might make you pay more attention to it, and not losing it.


Now, I've had one Rotring 600 that I've had for four years now, and I expect it to last at least a decade more.

>>44244457
I know what you mean.

Perhaps the most popular is the Rotring 600; so that might be the best place to start.

>>44237867
They stopped selling them in my country. Is there an online store in Murica that sell those? I will need a big quantity of them for my next trip to Clapistan.

>>44242712
They're absolutely awful for technical/drawing work, but you really need to work to break those. Bought a pack a few years ago to use at uni, loved 'em.

>>44242736
knife

at this point, I only use mechanical pencils because fuck sharpeners (and fuck dull points -- otherwise, I'd use the kindergarten pencils)

>>44236759
The one you dont have.

Normally I used fountain pens.

In normal pen world I really like Sakura Pigma Microns (as a non-artist), metal tipped pens are nice. I also have a multipen Pilot Hi-Tec-C, which is great save for the miniscule ink capacity.

Pencils are standard fare, Kuru Togas and Blackwings.

Yo, whats with all the moot hate recently?

What is the master race lead thickness, /g/?

>>44245251
.5mm

>.9 is autism worthy

>>44245273

>not .3mm

Anon, surely you don't buy your pencils at a Walmart.

The only problem with these is the eraser is so fucking small.

>>44241690
>temperature tolerance. A lot of gel pens stick and don't flow well
I use my pilot P500 for doing stocktake in a large butchery, and regularly leave my pen in the freezers while counting and have never had problems.
Bic ballpoints on the other hand don't work once they've been subject to -10c for 30 seconds, gel master race

.7mm master race.

>Buying shit lead instead of Pentel Ain master race
>Applying ten times more pressure than necessary for writing

Maybe you just need to stop mimicking this "writing" thing educated people do.

that feeling when no broken lead or broken tip

>>44237845

Also clutch pencils with the full size lead.

OP, I rely on using a mechanical pencil for a decent part of my career. Any time I need to draft something by hand or make some quick notes, I use pic related. Easily the best pencil I've ever used.

>>44246130
if you can find one entirely constructed of metal

hell fucking yes

i've hurt people (used my pencil as a mightier than sword) that've attempted to permanently borrow mine, because it 'just fucking works'

try a test one at a store (if you can find one that has it in stock) first cause it's not every bodies slice of pie

>>44246188
>drafting things by hand

is it 1680 again

>>44246428
weight distribution of a part metal part plastic pencil like the graphgear 500 feel nicer to me. more weight at the tip and an overall more forward cog gives it a very nice feel when writing or sketching

>>44246188
Have you tried the 1000 model? Is it better than the 500?

>>44246439
I don't do it often, but I do do it every so often. A decent part of my career was definitely a lie.
>>44246447
I haven't, I've been meaning to try one out though.

>>44246444
the one i own is also bottom heavy, center of weight is just above the grip it's also 3 or 4 years old

the picture I posted has a plastic upper body and all the weight is in the grip you can do a search for the image name and check reviews for more opinions

i'm not trying to convert anybody or say my shit is better don't stink or w/e, just posting what i think is the best mech pencil

>>44245534
I agree. I really like the feel and build quality, but if you want something with a better eraser and a slightly more comfortable grip, get the Twist Erase III. Pic related.

>>44246498
A lie?? can you explain?

too late, brony scum. you did it all by yourself.

>>44246188
looks a bit ugly. but if it works well, why not.

>>44239132
i have one that's got no brand, made in jura that works very well for calligraphish stuff.
also a rotring art pen, just larger and actually shittier, and a few others in the genre. but i like this one.

>>44236962
came here to propose the kuru toga.
/g/ you never cease to amaze me

I know I'm not the only one.

does anyone have the rotring 300? i own the 600 and really like it, but i'm looking to try a pencil with a lighter feel.
