Pentel Kerry P1037 Mechanical Pencil Blue

I was a physics major in college and spent many hours working intricate math problems. I must have gone through hundreds of mechanical pencils and never found any of them to be particularly note worthy. Now as a gainfully employed adult, I've developed a love of puzzles like sudoko and kakuro. Both of these require writing that's very small but legible. I decided to invest in a nice quality mechanical pencil and I absolutely love this one. It's very pretty and elegant, and it feels solid and well balanced in my hand. It's a pleasure to use. I was also surprised to find that multiple pencil leads can be stored in the barrel and they automatically advance when one lead runs out. That is absolutely brilliant. Best mechanical pencil I've ever used.

I wanted an automatic pencil that: (1) uses 7mm lead, (2) click advance, (3) has eraser, (4) built to last, (5) won't poke hole in pocket, (6) elegant look. This satisfies all requirements. Very happy so far.

I liked all about it....no dislikes. Everyday use.

I specifically shopped for the blue color barrel of the pencil but what I received was black. Doesn’t affect its performance but I did order the pretty blue color.

I was looking for a decent mechanical pencil with larger than .5mm lead. This is a nicely designed pencil and has .7mm lead which is much easier to write with. All in all a great investment for those who are sick of the .5mm leads always breaking.

Great mechanical pencil, but definitely for small hands!
