Deli Mechanical Pencils Automatic Drafting Pencil and 2B Black Pencil Lead Refill Erasers Office & School Writing Stationery Supplies

Took a while but the price was appropriate and they arrived in good condition. The leads are dark enough for making workman marks. I had hoped to use them as everyday pencils with a chisel edge for calligraphy practice but got better results from a wider carpenter's pencil. Still a good value with plenty of other uses - they are pencils.

Loves these pencils! We run an Archery business that runs tournaments for schools as a fundraiser. Scoring is done on scantron cards. These are made for perfectly for coloring in the bubbles and the scantron machine reads them so much better.

Seriously. Don’t buy any other pencil. So far, I’ve purchased 6 of these. I keep one on each of my tool belts, one in the truck, one in each of my notebooks, and one on my desk. I’ve probably spent $100 trying all sorts of different thick leaded pencils. Cheap carpenters pencils are versatile and serve a variety of purposes but, 99% of the time I grab one of these beasts. The lead works surprisingly well on wet pressure treated lumber, as wells as, in the rain on my waterproof notepads. The only negative… not enough of a negative to remove a star but still a negative, is how easily the cap comes off. For me, this is of zero concern in most environments. My tool belts hold the pencils without the necessity of the clip. Though, it does become annoying if you slide one into a pants pocket and squat down, as I tend to do 100s of times throughout the day. All in all, if this manufacture sponsored me somehow, I’d put their logo on my truck like Busch on a nascar. Update July 2020 To solve the one problem I had, I used arrow tip glue and just glued all the caps to the pencils. This is of no concern to me considering I never use the erasers. To feed the lead, just insert from the tip. I’ve had two pencils in my belt since I started renovating this house 3 months ago. I have still not had to replace the lead that came in the two pencils. They’re used for any sort of marking that you could imagine. Though, they’re not ideal for OSB, LVL or finished hardwood. The lead is too small for the rough material and the marks just don’t really show on sealed or finished surfaces. If the manufacturers can produce this same pencil but with 4x the lead thickness, I’d buy them all. Just saying… Looking at you “Deli” or whoever actually produces these.

The mechanical pencil looks like a mini carpenter pencil with a rectangular cross-section. It is super convenient to turn the broad tip on a rectangular scantron box to fill it in with only one to two strokes. For those calligraphy lovers, the pencil offer a cursive italic / stub nib for practicing your letters. The thicker lead won't create sharp italics as calligraphy pen nibs but there is still line variation not found in other mechanical pencils. You can also rotate the barrel to write with the narrower tip. This simulates the architect nib with broad horizontal and narrow vertical strokes. This orientation is great for those who prefer to print their words rather than write in cursive. The pencil is well-made but the boxy/oval barrel may take some getting used to. Besides the two pencils, the set also comes with 2 block erasers (similar to the Pentel hi-polymer erasers) and 2 tubes of 1.8 mm flat lead. I just wish that it also include two erasers to replace those installed in the pencil. These unique mechanical pencils will add a nice touch to your writing. If you are a calligraphy or fountain pen lover, you would definitely love these cool pencils.
