Zebra Pen Zebra Mini Mechanical Pencil, 0.5 mm, Silver Body (TS-3).

I am an artist, I own many mechanical pencils for my works. But I needed something which was easy to carry in my pocket and complements the size of my hand diary.I am in to EDC (Every Day Carry), this one was the perfect EDC and a good drawing tool.If you are some one like me looking for something similar go for this.Refer the attached pictures and videos to understand the size of the product.

Very good pencil for my use. It's light weight & looking fantastic.

It’s small and cute, but because of its size, I keep misplacing it easily 😄

It is good quality product

I have no qualms about giving this pencil a 5*. I had this pencil a few years back (till I gifted it to someone) and I ordered one more.It is a beautiful pencil. A sturdy, well made, steel pencil that doesn't make its presence felt. It is Tiny and very convenient to carry along with a small notebook for quick field notes and such. Thats what I use it for and I never think twice about making it a part of my travels.I don't have a problem using this pencil but, may not be suitable for people with big hands or thick fingers or for long writes. Suggest not to buy this pencil with the image of a regular pencil in mind.

I searched a lot on internet and found this which fits well into the pocket. The product is best and this is the second item which is staying with me after my mobile phone.

Good quality but too small, check size before buying

I like the quality and finish of the product. Value for money.

Bought one to "try it out" to see if it would be good in my small paint palette. As this pencil is made of stainless steel and the inner workings are plastic and brass, moisture should not be a problem with it. It fits perfectly in a standard 12 half pan metal palette (6 over 6) with a travel brush inside as well. What I wanted it for was for something even smaller though and by just taking off the cap (leaving the eraser intact) it fits inside my Mini palette at only 3 19/32" long. As you can see in the photo my Mini Palette holds 15 half pans but in a 5 wide by 3 high configuration which does not leave a lot of room (I even shortened the Meeden Travel Brush by about 3/8" so it would fit in the Mini Palette (it is not necessary to shorten either if using a normal 12 pan palette with a 6 half pan wide over 6 configuration). It is great to have a mechanical pencil in my palette so I don't need to sharpen it like a wood pencil. You can leave off the cap IF needed but then you will need to push on the eraser to advance the lead (it is possible but a little harder). I just leave it off to reduce the length but keep the cap in the palette just under the pencil and replace it to make using it easier. I have since bought 4 more for other palettes and as a gift.And just to note: I did remove the label on the pencil. I just cut down the length of the label with the blade of a knife held flat against the pencil thereby cutting a strip of the label off. Scraped off a remaining corner with a thumb nail and pulled off the remaining label. I then used the large piece of label to pull off the remaining adhesive by sticking it to adhered residue and pulled and restuck, pulled and restuck, until all of the residue was removed. It took only about 5 minutes to remove all of the adhesive this way. BUT, I will NOT be removing the labels from any of the other pencils as there is useful information on the label: it contains the model number of the pencil and it also has the size of the lead the pencil uses (0.5 mm) AND it has the Zebra customer telephone number on it (though it is in Japan). Still, I regret removing the label as it is well attached and made of clear plastic so will not easily be spoiled by using the pencil.I hope this has been helpful to everyone. Enjoy using this excellent pencil, I know I already am.

Ich habe für mein Mini Travelers Notebook einen ebenso kleinen Bleistift gesucht. Da ich seit Jahren Produkte aus dem Hause Zebra verwende und stets überzeugt war, ist meine Wahl auf den Zebra Mini Bleistift gefallen. Und ich muss sagen… Es ist wieder mal hervorragende Qualität! Ein so dünnes und gleichzeitig so stabiles Schreibgerät hätte ich nicht erwartet. Ich habe große Hände, und dennoch kann ich es für kleine, schnelle Notizen wie Telefonnummern, oder Maße gut verwenden. Zu dem häufig kritisierten Aufkleber: das ein Aufkleber, der an einem so kleinen Objekt halten muss, mit einer gewissen Klebekraft ausgestattet ist, sollte sich von selbst erschließen. Und auch hier erkennt man die japanische Liebe zum Detail. Er hat nämlich an den Enden im Bereich der Ecken blau markierte nicht-klebende Stellen. Dort kann man ihn gut anpacken und langsam ablösen. Wenn man ihn vorher ein bisschen vorgewärmt hat, zum Beispiel mit einem Daumen, geht das super easy. Wenn man es langsam genug macht. Das zu kritisieren, halte ich für Jammern auf ganz hohem Niveau. Ich jedenfalls kann die negativen Bewertungen dazu nicht nachvollziehen. Ich freue mich darüber, dass so ein winziges Schreibgerät hergestellt wird und ich damit einen hohen, praktischen Nutzen für mein Mini Notizbuch erzielen kann. Ich brauche nämlich nicht noch mal extra einen Stift mit mir zu führen. Und dass unter der Kappe auch noch ein winziger Radiergummi zu finden ist… Genial! Ein paar Tage noch der Benutzung habe ich mir noch einen zweiten bestellt. Von mir also eine klare Kaufempfehlung.

Très mauvaise qualité, il s' et cassé à la première utilisation.

Small and stylish. Good quality.

I use this for golf so I’m very happy that it’s so small as I didn’t want something big.Come with 3 leads and built in eraser. Couldn’t be happier with purchase and speed of delivery.
