Review: Pentel GraphGear 500 - An excellent drafting, art and writing mechanical pencil. The GraphGear 500 is lightweight like the Sharp p205 series pencil with the addition of a comfortable knurled aluminum grip that commands greater precision control of the pencil. Loading replacement lead is quick and easy. The eraser is very effective and easily replaced when necessary. A very enjoyable mechanical pencil and worth the investment.
Review: My Favorite Pencil - A while ago I got four nice 0.5mm mechanical pencils to compare: - Uni Kuru Toga Roulette : Haven't touched this one in months. It's very interesting mechanically, but the lead wiggles too much and the rotating feature doesn't make enough of a difference for that to be worth is for me. Maybe in a larger lead size this would work better. I have to admit it looks cool though. - Uni Shift Pipe Lock : The retractable lead pipe is nice. I have bent the lead pipe on the staedler and pentel pencils, so keeping it away can help with that. The wiggle isn't too bad but the weight distribution is a bit off for me. This would be a great pencil to throw in the bottom of your bag if you need a draft pencil that can take a bit of a beating. Otherwise see the options below. - Staedler 925 25-05 : My solid #2. Very well made, no lead wiggle as long as the tip is screwed on tight, so writing is smooth. The knurling is a bit sharp but personally I enjoy that grip. I keep one of these at my desk so I don't have to take my other pencil out of my bag. My biggest issue is that the eraser feels a bit loose, but it's not too bad. The price is a bit much for me too. - Pentel Graphgear 500 : Instantly my favorite, and has stayed as such for the couple of years I've used them. The lead pipe is totally fixed to the grip so there is no lead wiggle and I've only had it bend once when it flew spinning down onto tile. The knurling is a bit softer than the staedler, it's a nice middle ground. The eraser feels tight but it does wear a bit fast as someone who makes a lot of mistakes. Just a good pencil, and the cheapest of the lot. That's hard to beat. As someone who does a lot of math and diagrams on paper I pretty much stick to the 0.5mm graphgear now. Alongside it I use the Pentel Hi-Polymer eraser for bigger erasing jobs and a MUJI 0.38mm black pen for dark permanent lines. I highly recommend both of these too, no matter what pencil you use.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Why is disco dead?**
A: Disco is dead because the Kiss Army conducted a shock and awe campaign. It resulted in great losses on the disco side. It is not well known that General Donna Summer was actually severely injured in the war. The war continued through the decade of the 1970s. It was only when Laura Branigan finally surrendered to Gene and Paul at Madison Square Gardens in the early 1980s that the war concluded and rock briefly rained supreme.
Historically the warring factions both suffered. After CBGBs took off and the California, Chicago, and Tampa punk scenes began to take foothold, the only true winners were the opportunistic punks. They successfully used the opportunity to own the ensuing decade under the supreme leadership the likes of Commander Henry Rollins and Viceroy Jello Biafra.
Disco and rock faded in the1990s taking a backseat to a plethora of corporately driven invented music genres which gave way to the production of the largely commercialized crooner pop music receiving air in play today.

**Q: where do I find the community?**
A: You’re in a community right now

**Q: Is the Graph Gear 1000's advantages worth the higher price (which pencil is worth more for it's value)?**
A: the main difference is that the 1000 has a click out and retractable point and an aluminum body. the only thing that i think is a downside to the 1000 is that the clip is not removable because it is part of the click mechanismalso the clip is rather large and does not flow with the design well itlooks like it was added last min by pentel. the 500 has a plastic body but metal grip and nib. in short the 1000 is better if your going to be carrying it in your pocket but the 500 is  better if you going to have it on a desk or pencil case. both erasers are the same they both come in .3 .5 .7 & .9 the 1000 has a lead indicator but over all i prefer to right with the 500 i prefer a pencil slightly heavier towards the writing tip. hope this helps.

**Q: Is the knurled barrel metal or metallic?? Thanks**
A: It's metal
