Staedtler 0.5mm Mechanical Pencil Night Blue Series (925 35-05)

EXCELLENT PENCIL!!!! It writes extremely smoothly, and the grip keeps the pencil from sliding around. It has a nice, comfortable weight, a sturdy/durable mechanism with a nice click, and a strong lead. This is a beautiful pencil, and I highly recommend it. It is a touch on the pricier end. If you're looking to spend a pretty penny for a nice writing utensil, this is the one.

Great quality. One of my favorites for drafting and writing. Its got a excellent grip that lets you keep hold of it perfectly. Comfortable and light and great value for money. It writes amazing too. This is one of my all time favorite mechanical pencils I've ever had

I recently purchased the Staedtler 0.5mm Mechanical Pencil in Night Blue, and I must say, I'm quite impressed. Here's why: Design: The night blue color is sleek and sophisticated, making it stand out from typical mechanical pencils. It's not only stylish but also easy to spot in my pencil case or on my desk. Performance: The 0.5mm lead size is perfect for precise writing and drawing. The pencil feels sturdy in my hand and writes smoothly without any snagging or breaking of the lead. I've been using it for both detailed sketches and everyday writing tasks, and it hasn't let me down. Comfort: The ergonomic design of the pencil ensures a comfortable grip, even during long writing sessions. I appreciate that Staedtler prioritizes user comfort without sacrificing style or performance. Durability: So far, the pencil has held up well to regular use. The construction feels solid, and I haven't encountered any issues with the mechanism or lead jamming. Overall, I'm very satisfied with my purchase of the Staedtler 0.5mm Mechanical Pencil in Night Blue. While I haven't given it a full five stars due to some minor issues with eraser durability, it's still a reliable and stylish option for anyone in need of a quality mechanical pencil. Highly recommended!

This pencil was a recent edition after doing heavy research into lead types, different styles of graphite, lead thickness, and the virtues of having something other than "#2 pencil." As a caveat, I am left handed and have a terrible writing wrist. I have struggled with pencils all my life. This is a mechanical lead holder, except the clutch mechanism is not a "slip" mechanism, meaning it progressively advances in measurable increments the lead, rather than a simple vise that uses spring tension to hold the lead. The pencil itself is stunning and the fit and finish are extraordinary. It's all metal (likely aluminum) and the blue is a deep blue. The bare metals all polished. The clip is sturdy. The inside holder for the lead (which only fits one) is brass (some other reviews report plastic, but mine did not have it). The point cap screws on tightly. The lead viewfinder (that indicates what type) is adjusted with the lead cap, which means it stays sturdy in its place until you're ready to change the lead type. This keeps the viewfinder from wandering. The overall fit and finish is excellent, and the weight feels heavier than a traditional pencil, but not so heavy as to annoy my left hand. When advancing the lead, it feels very sturdy, and the clutch is tight, which means there's not a lot of "give" in how much of the lead advances. I also played with pushing the lead back in (to see if it would grind against the clutch mechanism) and it had absolutely no grind or scratch, indicating that the mechanism has enough give as to not rub off excess graphite (and potentially lubricate the mechanism and cause slip later on). It comes with an HB lead, but I bought Staedtler Mars Carbon 2B refills. Overall, this is a fabulous choice, and cannot recommend it highly. If you are someone who cherishes their writing instruments and doesn't loose them, then this is a fabulous replacement for ye' ole wood pencil. If you are someone who could care less, I would implore you to consider yourself and your habits and maybe change them for nicer and longer lasting instruments such as this. :)

Price is decent. Pencil is expected

Per my husband, this is an excellent drawing pencil, it feels solid, yet comfortable to use for long periods of time. He loves the color and the size of the lead, which stays sharp without being fragile. Well worth the money, a quality drawing pencil at a great price.

Probably my favorite out of all the pencils I've bought. I like light pencils that are comfortable in my hand. It has a nice knurling. I'm not too worried about the tip bending since it's relatively cheap. All around a solid choice for anyone who just wants a solid MP for sketching or taking notes.

The Staedtler 2.0 mm Night Blue Series (925 25-20) is an all-metal mechanical pencil weighting 21 grams. The extra weight feels comfortable in my hand - better control. This pencil is quality built inside and out. I am amazed that Amazon is currently selling it for a little more than the Staedtler Mars 780 Technical pencil which has a plastic barrel and weighs only 13 grams. I own both pencils. The Staedtler 2.0 mm Night Blue Series is a much better pencil then the Staedtler Mars 780. The Night Blue Series works more like a mechanical pencil then a lead holder. It does not have the big gaping jaws at the tip. It advances the lead a little bit at a time like a normal mechanical pencil. You can always grab the lead and quickly pull it to a much longer length if needed. The pencil has an adjustable lead hardness degree indicator. I only use the Staedtler Mars Carbon Leads with this pencil. It is the best 2.0 mm lead I have experienced. PROS: - All metal construction. This baby is solid yet comfortable. It should last for years. - Adjustable lead hardness degree indicator. - Lead width indicator is on the cap. - Beautiful design and finish. - Heavier than the plastic 2.0 mm pencils - weights 21 grams. - It also comes in the color silver Staedtler 2.0mm Mechanical Pencil Silver Series (925 25-20) CONS: - Does not work with the rotary lead sharpeners. - It advances the lead like a normal mechanical pencil rather than a lead holder. The speed of lead advancement may be an issue for some people.
