As a result of hand problems that were caused by excessive computer use many years ago, I went through several months of hand therapy, and discovered along the way how nice it was to actually write again rather than merely pound a keyboard.

This pencil is one of those 12.I previously bought the 0.5 mm version of this pencil, and liked the quality and balance. However, because I do so much work with fine detail (equations with subscripts on subscripts) I liked the idea of a finer lead.

This pencil seems to provide a near optimum combination of fineness and lead strength, and I enjoy the finer line and am not forever breaking leads. I like to change pencils frequently to avoid hand fatigue, but I do like this one a great deal.I will say that I have found that certain deskpads are superior when working with finer lead mechanical pencils. For those who absolutely need to use an 0.3 mm pencil, but are frustrated with the frequency of lead failures, you may just wish to explore a deskpad. I have one that I bought from Levenger many years ago, and although quite expensive, it provides a wonderful writing surface, and there is a noticeable decrease in the frequency of lead breakage when using fine lead pencils. It seems to have just the right amount of give.

0.4 is the best caliber lead for writing in general, not too thick and yet not too thin that it breaks when you get excited on whatever that you are writing.This pencil is best of the best. Impeccable quality! I have one that I got almost 4 years ago and it still works. In fact I love them so much that I got 3 of them thinking that if one breaks I still have the others. However that day never came since I am still using the first one.It is cheaper here than getting it in Japantown ($14.5).

I love PG1004 and this Pentel PG100x series! I am a 0.4mm fanatic, and need pencils to mainly write design notes and do math analysis. Most drafting handles are not good for writing due to abrasive knurled metal grips and being too heavy at the tip. This pencil is very light, well balanced, and yet of very high build quality.

This pencil is great but I will mainly represent the lead size here. I use this as an engineering student for mainly math and free body diagrams. A .5mm has always been just too big for my writing style so I have been an advocate for .3mm and .4mm sizes. .3mm using nothing harder than HB and preferably 2B produces very crisp and accurate numbers and symbols, but it also requires a bit of an extra conscious effort on my part to keep my writing very small to obtain this effect. The .4mm bridges the gap very well. My writing consists of crisp, clear, legible numbers; diagrams and symbols, without the extra effort required by the .3mm. I alternate between the two depending on my mood but the .4mm has been my go to for some time now and I'm surprised it is so rare.
This pencil is an absolute joy to use. Loving .4mm and the construction is soooo nice. Would absolutely purchase again.
This pencil is nice. Doesn't break as much as 0.3 mm lead, smaller than 0.5 mm... Well balanced, sort-of pricey, but definitely awesome.
great pencil. had on before and lost it and just had to have another one
My favourite pencil of all times! I love it matte surface when it's new!
Very nice writing instrument. Good quality, good price. Very lightweight, comfortable. 0.4mm is my favorite size, nice and thin but stronger than 0.3mm.
My favorite among drafting pencils. Smooth mechanism, good feeling in hand, and it comes in 0,4mm!!!Surely it could be better built, for the price, with a al metal construction, but it is still very nice as it is.
