Great value. Great warrantee. - I've bought 3 of these so far on separate occasions (all the 0.9 mm yellow version). One was a gift for my 10 yo son, who kept borrowing mine, and won't write with anything else now. I love how this pencil feels in my hand and while writing. It is very well engineered, nicely balanced, and has a smooth mechanism. The auto-retracting mechanism when you clip in on you pocket is a nice touch. All around great design. I've only purchased the yellow one (0.9mm, HB lead) because I planned on mostly using it for marking wood for my woodworking projects and so needed the stronger/thicker lead, but I find myself writing with it all the time. It's just that pleasant to use. I had a problem with one of them (it broke at the yellow plastic part), and I contacted the Pantel warranty department since it was well past the 30 day desertcart return. It took them a while to respond (7-10 days, I forget) so I was initially concerned, but they responded saying they would send a new one and a label for me to return the broken one. Which they did, no questions, no hassle. Top marks for their customer service. Very happy. There are two things that could be better: 1) There is one plastic piece in an otherwise all metal product. It is a weak point, and in fact where one of my pencils broke. But the customer service/warranty department has been great, so I guess if they continue like that (it has a lifetime warranty!), I can't complain too much. 2) The clip is just folded metal and could be a bit sharp on clothes. This is actually a pretty common construction for clips on pencils and pens alike, but for $20+ I was hoping for better. I carry one of them with me pretty much at all times, so I'm a bit concerned the clip eventually will cut into the cloth. So far it hasn't, so I my concern might not be justified. Time will tell and I will try to update in 6+ months either way. Also, one thing I wish they had communicated more clearly: In order to set the handy lead hardness indicator, first loosen the conical end piece part. The indicator part should then spin feely. Make your selection and tighten it back up. (Finger tight is sufficient.) I got all of mine on sale around $13-$16. At that price you really can't beat the value. Full price is $23+, which might seem pricey for a pencil, but if you don't lose it, it should last you a very long time. I think it's well worth it even at full price if you value an affordable, quality writing/drafting pencil. (If you're prone to losing pencils, though, then your experience might vary. :-) ) I highly recommend this pencil. (And seeing as I've bought this on 3 occasions, it goes without saying that I'd buy it again.) Review: Precision and Comfort in Every Line - The GraphGear 1000 is a fantastic mechanical pencil that feels professional right out of the box. The grip is comfortable, even during long drawing or writing sessions, and the knurled metal section gives excellent control without slipping. The lead advances smoothly with the click mechanism, and the retractable tip makes it safe to carry in a bag without worrying about bending the lead. The weight is well-balanced, which makes detailed work—whether for drafting, sketching, or note-taking—much easier and more precise. Overall, the GraphGear 1000 combines durability, style, and performance. It’s a top choice for students, artists, and professionals who need a reliable mechanical pencil that delivers consistent results. ## Features - Superior drafting pencil for professionals and enthusiasts - Easily identify your lead type with the built-in lead hardness indicator - Dual-action retractor advances and retracts pencil tip to protect lead from breaking - Finely chiseled metallic grip inlaid with soft, latex-free pads - 4mm tip length makes it ideal for use with rulers and templates - Pre-loaded with Pentel Super Hi-Polymer HB lead; never needs sharpening, is super strong and produces a clear dark line - Color coded sizes for fast & easy size lead size identification - Comes with a cap to keep your eraser clean - Refillable with Pentel Super Hi-Polymer Lead and Z2-1N refill eraser. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000GAXKGU | | Additional Features | Eraser, Pocket Clip | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Best Sellers Rank | #753 in Office Products ( See Top 100 in Office Products ) #10 in Mechanical Pencils | | Body Shape | Round | | Brand Name | Pentel | | Closure Type | Retractable | | Color | 1 Pack | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (24,301) | | Drill Point | Medium | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00072512198094 | | Grip Type | Knurled | | Hand Orientation | Ambidextrous | | Hardness | HB | | Included Components | No | | Ink Base | Water | | Ink Color | default_no_selection_value | | Item Dimensions | 0.63 x 0.62 x 6 inches | | Item Type Name | Mechanical Pencil | | Item Weight | 0.8 Pounds | | Line Size | 0.7 | | Manufacturer | Pentel | | Material Type | Metal | | Model Name | Graph Gear 1000 | | Model Number | PG1017C | | Pattern | Pencil | | Recommended Uses For Product | Office | | Style | 0.7mm | | Theme | Technical Drawing | | UPC | 072512198094 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Warranty Description | Limited Lifetime Warranty | | Writing Instrument Form | Mechanical Graphite Pencil | ## Product Details - **Age Range (Description):** Adult - **Brand:** Pentel - **Color:** 1 Pack - **Ink Color:** default_no_selection_value - **Writing Instrument Form:** Mechanical Graphite Pencil ## Images ![Graph Gear 1000 Automatic Drafting Pencil, 0.7mm Lead Size, Blue Barrel, 1 Each (PG1017C) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/416kh05vppL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great feel.

I got this when I started graduate school and it's been a reliable tool for 2 years. It's saved me a ton of money on disposable pencils. Lead refills are cheap and last years. It feels premium and smooth. Only negative is the eraser head is tiny and if bent at all has a hard time fitting back in; it runs out quick and refills are a must. I usually just have a large eraser on the side and only use the eraser head for small errors. Buying another after 2 years. RIP my old one. Do NOT use for carpentry. xD ## Frequently Bought Together - Pentel Graph Gear 1000 Automatic Drafting Pencil, 0.7mm Lead Size, Blue Barrel, 1 Each (PG1017C) - Pentel C27BPHB3K6 Super Hi-Polymer Lead Refills, 0.7mm, HB, Black, 30/Tube, 3 Tubes/Pack - Pentel Refill Eraser for Mechanical Pencils, White, 12 Tubes, 4 Erasers Per Tube (Z2-1N) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pl/products/5743277-graph-gear-1000-automatic-drafting-pencil-0-7mm-lead-size](https://www.desertcart.pl/products/5743277-graph-gear-1000-automatic-drafting-pencil-0-7mm-lead-size) --- *Product available on Desertcart Poland* *Store origin: PL* *Last updated: 2026-04-26*
