Pentel ENERGIZE-X PL105 Mechanical Pencil 0.5mm

Overview Sketching thumbnails, working through problem sets or jotting meeting notes goes smoothly with this 0.5mm mechanical pencil, which pairs a ribbed rubber grip with a clear barrel✏️. The latex-free grip mechanical pencil design cushions the fingers, so long homework and drafting sessions feel less tiring. Whether it lives in a school bag or on a studio desk, it stays easy to find and comfortable to pick up. As part of the EnerGize-X mechanical pencil line, it arrives loaded with HB lead and takes fresh lead from the back once the eraser cap is lifted off🔧. The translucent barrel shows how much lead is left, while the curved clip keeps the pencil on a notebook cover or in a pocket🗂️. Six bright barrel colors, from pink and green to sky blue, blue, purple and black, make it easy to spot a favorite in a crowded pencil case🌈. At about 147mm, it works as a drafting pencil 0.5mm for notes, sketches and technical drawings as well as everyday schoolwork📐. The slim body and low weight also suit one-handed use while the other hand holds a ruler or a page. Features Pre-loaded HB lead: The Pentel PL105 ships with Super Hi-Polymer HB lead, a smooth core that writes clear, dark lines straight out of the box✍️. Quick rear loading: Lift off the eraser cap and drop new lead in from the back, so refilling takes seconds and the tip is less likely to clog🔩. Visible lead supply: The translucent barrel lets you see how much lead remains, so you can top up before a long exam or a drawing session runs dry👀. Ribbed rubber grip: A wave-patterned rubber grip adds traction and cushioning, helping the fingers stay relaxed through pages of notes and calculations🤲. Capped eraser: A white eraser sits under a clear protective cap at the top, keeping it clean and ready for the next correction🧽. Specifications Brand: Pentel Country of Brand Origin: Japan Model: PL105 Available Colors: Pink Green Sky Blue Blue Purple Black Lead Size: 0.5mm Lead Grade: HB (Super Hi-Polymer, pre-loaded) Mechanism: Push type (knock) Size: L 147 x D 12 mm (5.8 inch x 0.5 inch) Material: Translucent plastic barrel, rubber grip Weight: 10g (0.4oz) Q&A What lead does it take, and which comes loaded? It takes 0.5mm lead only. A Super Hi-Polymer HB lead is pre-loaded, so the pencil is ready to use at once. Keep refills at 0.5mm, since thicker leads will not fit the tip. Is it suitable for drafting and sketching? Yes. The fine 0.5mm lead draws narrow, consistent lines that suit notes, sketches and technical drawings, and the clear barrel lets you check the lead supply before starting a long drawing session. How do I add lead or clear a jam? Lift off the eraser cap and feed new lead in from the back. For a jam, unscrew the clear tip, remove the stuck piece of lead, then screw the tip back on firmly. Does the barrel color change anything else? Only the look. The six colors, pink, green, sky blue, blue, purple and black, change the barrel and grip tint, while the 0.5mm size and push-type mechanism stay the same on every pencil.
