Dear Friend:

Welcome to Mechanical Drafting Pencils Review.

Here is the short list of the 5 best pencils.  All are good and will give years of creative service and enjoyment.

The Overall Best Drafting Pencil Pick

The Pentel Graph Gear 1000 Automatic Drafting Pencil has a chisled metallic grip inlaid with soft latex-free pads which provides writing comfort that will last all day.  The dual-action retractor advances and retracts  the tip for easy use.  Overall it is a superior drafting pencil for general and technical writing.  It also is refillable with Pentel Super Hi-Polymer Lead and Z2-1 eraser.

Top Recommendation for a Mechanical Pencil

The retractable Paper Mate PhD Mechanical Pencil is an excellent choice for a mechanical pencil.  It looks and feels great.  Every thing you could want in a drafting pencil.

Stylish Pencil that Feels good to Own

The retractable mechanical pencil Pentel P1035C Pentel Sharp Kerry in blue is a pencil that will give one much pleasure.  Sure to the touch and looks great cliped to a shirt pocket or on a desk.

For All Conditions: The Space Pen

For those who want or need to work in extreme conditions; like ZERO GRAVITY or in 250 degree heat or a more practical minus 30 degrees, The  Fisher Space Pen is the sure and best choice for you.   Even if you don’t work in 250 degree temperatures this little gem will be ready and willing for any assignment.    A nerd must have.

This is a favorite Drafting Pencil for Engineers

There is also one other drafting pencil you might consider if you had the price of $10 dollars in mind.  The ALVIN Draft Matic Mechanical Pencil Size 0.7mm is a joy to work with as it has a mini shock absorber inside the mechnism that keeps the hand comfortable while working.  Many swear by this pencil.  A welcome addition to the workforce.

In this age of computers we still appreciate the ownership of a great pencil.  Thanks for your interest in mechanical drafting pencils.

Best Regards
