Pentel GraphGear 500 Mechanical Pencil, 0.3 mm - Brown

The GraphGear 500 is Pentel's classic technical drafting pencil — a no-frills workhorse built around a 4 mm fixed metal sleeve that lets it trace cleanly along rulers and template edges with confidence. It has been a staple in drawing studios, architecture classrooms, and on desks for years, and for good reason: it does exactly what a drafting pencil needs to do reliably.

The body is a slim, bevelled plastic barrel — lightweight and easy to manoeuvre — paired with a metallic mesh grip that provides real tactile control without being harsh on the hand. The grip is weighted toward the tip end, giving the pencil a front-heavy feel that encourages a guided, controlled drawing stroke. 

Each pencil comes pre-loaded with Pentel Super Hi-Polymer HB lead and is available in four diameters, each with a distinct barrel colour for easy identification: 0.3 mm (brown), 0.5 mm (black), 0.7 mm (blue), and 0.9 mm (grey). Features
