Birdfeather's Full Review: Sharp .E Mechanical Pencil 0.5 Mm Lead Blue Barrel...
Pentel e-Sharp Mechanical Pencil is a fairly new recent addition to our office supply closet. They were requested by someone wanting a larger barrel mechanical pencil and this pencil was chosen to fit that description. I have been using this pencil in my office as well. I'm always on the lookout for new pens and pencils. It's fun to try new things!
Pentel e-Sharp Mechanical Pencil, .5 mm
I have the sky blue pencil (the blue is only available in .7mm at this time). Unlike the average and cheap mechanical pencil this one seems to be made of much higher quality. It also looks higher quality which was one of the temptations for me to try this pencil out.
As stated earlier the Pentel e-Sharp Mechanical Pencil, .5 mm has a thicker round barrel than normal mechanical pencils. It also has a nice rubberized grip which is the color of the pencil. The sky blue also appears at the top of the pencil and on the clip. The middle of the pencil is clear and this allow you to see the amount lead stored here.
The Pentel e-Sharp Mechanical Pencil, .5 mm has a continuous feed lead mechanism. This allows for the lead stored in the barrel to automatically feed which saves you time and effort. It also helps save on lead usage.
The eraser at the top of the pencil is covered with a clear cap. I am impressed with this cap because it is secure and has not loosened up any since I've been using this pencil. And I have used the eraser many times. The eraser is also refillable which is a nice advantage.
Pentel e-Sharp Mechanical Pencils are available in .5mm and .7 mm for around $1.25 each at office supply stores and other stores which carry Pentel products. I have also seen them in a 4 pack. Other barrel colors available other than the sky blue in the .5mm pencil are black, green, pink, and violet.
My Thoughts On The Pentel e-Sharpe Mechanical Pencil .5mm Lead--Sky Blue Barrel
I have enjoyed writing with this pencil. It is comfortable to hold and is made very well. If you are one to get attached to a pen or pencil, this one has the options of being refillable with both lead and erasers.
The continuous feed lead mechanism is nice. You don't have to worry about taking the pencil apart and adding lead. If you store a few pieces of lead in the barrel, this is all done for you.
Speaking of refilling the lead, the pencil is put together very well. You can add lead by removing the eraser at the top. Extra lead can be stored in the barrel of this pencil.
Overall, this is a great mechanical pencil and one to hold on to. It is designed to be comfortable to hold, reusable, well built and yet inexpensive.
Recommendation
I highly recommend the Pentel e-Sharp Mechanical .5mm Sky Blue Pencils. They are durable and made of high quality materials and comfortable to write with. I give the Pentel e-Sharp Mechanical .5mm Sky Blue Pencils 5 Stars!
