Review: MORE great pencils from the makers of many of my favorites! - SUMMARY: All in all, I find this gift set a wonderful combination of great pencils, spare leads and erasers presented in a very classy box. CONTEXT: The P-200 series of Pentel pencils have been favorites of mine for over 40 years, introduced to me by my engineer father, I used them from college (80's) on through my business career for drawing, note taking and sketching, and I still have the .3, .5, .7 and .9mm sizes on my desk today. REVIEWS: When I saw this Pentel GraphGear1000 Premium Gift Set, I immediately went to YouTube and started watching video reviews. Most were favorable, so I decided to treat myself to an early Christmas gift. I'm VERY happy I did. FEATURES: If the P200 series are light, nimble, no frills, highly effective pencil companions, the GG1000 series are their full-featured, sophisticated siblings. GRIP: Even more comfortable in my hands than the P200 series (though the weightier feel might not be for everyone), the combination of knurled metal sleeve and rubber ellipses make a firm grip comfortable. CLIP: The clip is a combination of a) very well-designed way to clip the pencil to pocket or note-pad, and also b) when the back of the clip is pressed, it serves to retract the lead-sleeve back into the tip ... this is not a trivial point. RETRACTABLE LEAD SLEEVE: One of the few disappointing experiences I've ever had with a P-203 (.3mm) was when the slender lead sleeve became bent ... a small bit of damage that rendered it useless. Retracting the lead sleeve back into the point not only protects the sleeve from damage, but also protects the pockets into which we thrust our pencils. A great idea. PUSH BUTTON TOP/ERASER/SLEEVE CLEANER/LEAD MAGAZINE: The push button cap at the top of the pencil a) extends and allows the retraction of the lead into the lead sleeve, b) hides the combination eraser and sleeve cleaning needle (stuck into the bottom of eraser), and c) covers the lead magazine (under the eraser). LEAD TYPE WINDOW: Above the knurled grip is a rotatable window that allows the user to display the lead type they're currently using. FINER POINTS: > I've heard that setting the lead-grade window requires a slight loosening of the grip, but I haven't tried that yet. The video I watched made perfect sense of this, so if/when it comes up, I'll update the review here. > Those who prefer a very light weight pencil might find these too heavy. I like the weight feel. > The Gift Box is done well enough I've been using consistently, replacing each pencil in the box after every use.
Review: Great set! - Great gift for artists needing more pencils or starting with mechanical pencils vs. wooden pencils. Or anyone who likes different size lead options. Pentel got this one right!! 1. They color code some of their styles including this one... brown .3mm, black/gray .5mm, blue .7mm, and yellow .9mm. This style also available in a .4mm in green (not included in the set). This helps visually for those who use multiple pencils at a time. 2. These offer a retractable lead sleeve at the tip activated by the clip. Prevents this sleeve from bending or breaking in a pocket, art box/case, etc. A bent or broken sleeve is no good! Also prevents the sleeve from poking holes in shirt pockets or stabbing if clipped onto a paper pad, etc. (They are small, metal, and a bit "pokey"... can't be helped, but they are. ) 3. Artists often hold pencils in other ways than the writing position....clips can get in the way and pinch/poke. Pentel made the clip so the clip is flush with the barrel when the tip sleeve is extended. Brilliant!! The clip looks bulky at first glance. But the design allows for the tip to be flush as mentioned above while also opening wide enough to actually "clip" (not just slide) into a shirt pocket, art case pocket, or on an art pad or board with some thickness. 4. The grip isn't too grippy (like some silicone or rubber grips) allowing artists to rotate the pencil in hand, but isn't all knurled metal like some that can make fingers sore if too rough. This one is perfect... with a smooth transition from grip to barrel (when not smooth, not comfy in hand.) 5. The lead size (.5, .7mm, etc) is printed on the barrel and on the end...if you keep your pencil set in a cup-style holder you can see the size. The end is color coded also for easy ID. The band above the grip is also color coded. 6. These feature a lead hardness indicator (whoever came up with this idea deserves a medal!) These are a little more involved in changing the indicator as lead is changed than some other styles, but not difficult. The tip of the pen needs to be loosened/removed to rotate the grip so the window reveals the hardness of the lead in the pencil....vs. simply rotating a band. The hardnesses offered in the indicator are: H, HB, B, 2B (not enough for artists). However, a fine point Gelly Roll pen in white can be used to add other hardnesses if needed  There is enough room to add 7 more between the preprinted options and show thru the window. 7. Comes with a set of 4 lead sizes in HB (#2). The caps for the lead cases are also color coded to size. Plus replacement erasers. Con: Only one I find, which isn't necessarily bad, is the threads for the tip (which you have to remove to change the lead hardness indicator) are plastic. If these were machined metal, these pencils would be unbeatable...albeit more expensive. If this style featured auto-reeling like the Pentel Orenz pencil, it would be the bomb-diggity! (That's right...Bomb. Diggity.) Pentel should color code ALL their styles... but they didn't ask me. (Adding in case Pentel is watching.) If you are looking for a nice, mechanical pencil set with some really nice features... this is it! Slap a bow on that gift box and make an artist (or non-artist) happy! They are also sold individually by the way. I didn't price shop, so I don't know if this set can be found cheaper elsewhere, but I did notice it was more expensive at one online art store.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: where does one find the instructions for this mechanical pencil?**
A: If there is a broken piece of lead stuck inside, or a short piece, you cannot get lead to advance, or reload new lead. There is a fine pin stuck to the inside of the eraser. You can remove the eraser and use this to clear any broken lead.
When the pencil is completely assembled, depress the top as if you were going to advance the lead. Extremely gently insert a new lead, while keeping the top depressed. I always load my 0.3 pencils from the writing end, since the lead is so fragile.
All brands of 0.3 lead pencils are difficult, for most people a 0.5 or 0.7, is better. This is probably the best.

**Q: I don't see the eraser.,..   How easy is it to expose it?  Can you leave the eraser exposed? I typically always do that...**
A: The eraser is located under the silver cap at the top. Being a drafting pencil, the eraser is very small (~4mm) and is designed for fixing small mistakes without erasing anything else. For erasing most mistakes, I would suggest a separate eraser such as the Pentel retractable click (http://www.amazon.com/Pentel-Eraser-Retractable-Assorted-ZE21BP3-K6/dp/B001HA77OO/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1453514031&sr=8-1&keywords=pentel+retractable+eraser) or the Pentel Hi-Polymer Block Eraser (http://www.amazon.com/Pentel-Hi-polymer-Block-Eraser-ZEH10BP3-K6/dp/B001Q4HQVU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1453514058&sr=8-1&keywords=pentel+hi+polymer+eraser)

**Q: Some people say that since the tip is retractable it can become wobbly while writing. Anybody else have this problem?**
A: Wobbly may be a bit of an exaggeration but there can be a bit of movement in the tip.  I have a two Graph Gear 1000's, one tip has no movement and the other has maybe a 1/2 mm movement.  The movement is imperceptible while writing though, at least for me.

**Q: Is this mechanical pencil comfortable when used to write for long periods of time? Thanks in advance for any answers.**
A: I use it all of the time and find it quite comfortable.  I'm taking multiple classes and use it as my only writing implement in every one- note-taking as well as homework.Good luck!Sam
