Pentel's Graph 1000CS Creator's Style drafting pencil is based on their Graph 1000 For Pro pencils, which are popular among drafting professionals around the world. The 1000CS collection offers body colors not traditionally available for drafting pencils. The pencil is ideal for note-taking, sketching, and many other uses where clean precise writing is desired. The all-brass three-jaw clutch mechanism provides excellent support for the pencil lead, and a low center of gravity ensures stable writing. Because the lead pipe (lead sleeve) at the tip is 4 mm long, you have a clear view of where you're writing and the tip easily lines up against a ruler or straightedge. The grip, with 18 rubber ribs, prevents slippage and is easy to hold. The pencil also has a detachable clip, capped eraser, and an adjustable lead hardness indicator.
