I love writing with these Pentel mechanical pencils, but I can't get them to last.
I pocket my pencil when I leave the office, and they always break at the plastic barrel where the grip meets the body of the pencil. Its a common failure, and I send them back to Pentel for repair. That costs time and shipping payment... Short review: great to write with, but fragile.

This is a great pencil. I've used it for many years and absolutely love it! I've thumbs down this post because this is not a good price. I've purchased all of mine on Amazon and I don't think I've every paid this much, just bought one recently, no BF or prime sale and it was under $10. The only problem I've had with it is that when I've dropped it, it sometime no longer worked, treat it gently.

These are decent pencils, but I'd personally spend another $9 and get a Rotring 600.

I'm no pencil aficionado, but I've used both, too, and prefer the GG1000. I just think it's more comfortable, looks nicer, and the retracting tip is a really nice feature. I've ruined a good number of junky mechanical pencils by throwing them in a pocket or bag and bending/breaking the tips.
Then again, that's another mechanical part that can fail, but I've never broken one. That's probably because I lose one every year, so none of them get many miles on em!

Yeah, if it weren't quite a bit more expensive I would have recommended the Rotring 800 due to the retractable tip.

It's funny because I like Rotring for the same reasons you like GG1000; looks, feel, build quality. I always find it interesting how varied folks opinions are.

I totally agree - it's all very subjective. I like angular, more geometric designs in almost everything else, but then gravitate towards smoother curves for pen/pencils. And it's terribly balanced for pen spinning!

This looks like a common price in 3x camel, although it is on the low side. It drops to $10 or less infrequently though.

Same problem, used the same graphgear 1k from high school and throughout college. That barrel broke so many times. I have a spare that I used for parts and would send to pentel for replacement. Definitely my favorite pencil to write with and carry despite everything

You can get the pencil alone for $9.37 if you're interested (choose S&S). Here is the link:

I've been using the PG1005 since high school and have dropped it numerous times and it's still working perfectly.

I bought a few of the 800 and 600 pencils during the Amazon sale years ago. I am still using my black 0.5mm 600 for most of my pattern drafting (and some portrait drawings)....I have since sold most of them off because I never touched them but still have a 800 for back up. The 600, I just have a black cap to protect the tip.

Absolutely love this pencil, but at 34 this should be at least a 5 pack. You can get em on sale for 5, but under 10 all day.
