## Overview

The Pentel Orenz 0.2mm mechanical pencil combines ultra-fine precision with an innovative lead protection system that virtually eliminates breakage. Its sleek black retractable body and smooth guide pipe design deliver a premium writing experience ideal for professionals and detail-oriented millennials who demand flawless notes, sketches, and graphs without compromise.

## Description

The Orenz mechanical pencil features 0.2mm or 0.3mm lead for amazingly thin, clean lines. Moreover the Orenz is not a product for special use such as drawing, it is for general use. It's great for writing notes, math problems, graphs, and more! Despite being so fine, the lead doesn't break as you write, due to the innovative Orenz mechanism. The guide pipe protects the entire length of the lead, and you write without extending the lead out of the guide pipe, which glides along the surface of the paper. Since the guide pipe has rounded edges, it doesn't catch on the paper or scratch it, you can write very smoothly. If the guide pipe becomes very shorter and you become difficult to write, just click the top button only one time. You need not click a few times as you would with other mechanical pencil. The guide pipe will extend again, along with the lead inside. Because there's no lead breakage, your papers remain without smudges from broken lead dust. Also, when you don't use, you can retract the guide pipe so it doesn't poke you or your belongings.

Review: Outstanding .2 pencil, but can it compete with .3? - TL;DR: The .2 Orenz is the best pencil for this size lead, but it is still outclassed by the .3 Graphgear 1000 if you like versatile detailing pencils! As a comic artist who works on paper, I value thin pencils VERY highly. I'm happy to say this .2 little pencil is a lot stronger than you'd think. If you know how to use thin lead pencils, you won't have many problems with breaking lead. It also comes with a small wire in the eraser for unjamming the tip! HOWEVER-- The Pentel Orenz .2 pencil has the unfortunate fate that I daily drive a .3 from Pentel's GraphGear 1000 series of pencils. The size difference in lead isn't THAT noticeable between a .2 and .3, in my opinion, so they're in direct competition for me. The lead support system in this Orenz .2 pencil is a metal barrel that slides back into the pencil as you draw. .3 pencils used to be made this way too, and I HATE it. This mechanism doesn't just break lead, it SPLINTERS IT. And splintered lead is what causes jamming. It's painfully easy to bump the metal protector barrel with your paper or your sleeve and not notice the lead has been exposed-- and then it snaps. In comparison, GraphGear 500 and 1000 series pencils have a stationary barrel to support the lead at the tip. The 1000 series even has spring loaded retraction like a pen, to protect the pencil tip and lead when not in use. (500 series can't be retracted, but they are heccin strong tips anyways) Why is a stationary barrel better? Because this allows you to tilt the pencil and create an ultra thin point on your lead. This alone will allow a well made .3 pencil to out-tiny a .2 with a sliding barrel. The .2 Orenz is definitely not a good sketching pencil, it is a detailing pencil! You won't be making any fluid motions with it without gouging your paper on sharp lead, or just breaking the lead. Get this .2 pencil if you want a specialized detailing pencil! If you want something more versatile, get a .3 GraphGear 500 or 1000!
Review: Great pencil - I like to write notes in books that i am reading. and have used other brands in the past. I needed misplaced my other pencil and purchased this. I was concerned that the lead work break easily when writing, and i was wrong. It writes great, is the right size for me and it's comfortable to hold in my hand. I highly recommend it!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Love this pencil!
*by L***O on July 12, 2025*

This pencil is a must for any artist who likes precision in their portrait drawings! With the right lead installed, all lines come out crisp and precise. I would say this is 33% better than a 3 mm pencil!
