Pentel Graphgear 500 Automatic Pencil for Drawing 0.5mm (PG515)

Meet the Pentel GraphGear 500, a precision drafting pencil built for artists, engineers and students who need consistently sharp, break-resistant lines.

• 0.5mm tip, pre-loaded with HB lead and compatible with all 0.5mm lead refills
• Stippled, brushed metal grip for a secure, non-slip hold during long sessions
• Sliding, lockable lead grade indicator at the top shows the loaded lead type at a glance
• Holds up to 6 spare leads inside the barrel for uninterrupted work
• Replaceable eraser built into the top for quick corrections
• Well-balanced, plastic barrel designed for steady control over fine technical lines

Whether you are working through technical drawings, engineering sketches or detailed illustrations, the GraphGear 500 keeps its point sharp without constant sharpening. It is essentially a smaller, more pocketable take on Pentel's professional GraphGear 1000 line, so it carries over the same attention to grip and balance while staying light enough for everyday use. The textured metal grip and weighted, well-balanced barrel reduce hand fatigue during long drafting or study sessions, and the lockable lead grade window means you never have to guess whether you have loaded HB, 2B or another grade halfway through a project.

For architecture and engineering students who spend hours at a drafting table, or artists who want a dependable fineliner-style pencil for sketching, the GraphGear 500 is a practical upgrade from a basic wooden pencil. It stores extra leads inside the barrel, so a fresh click is always one push away, and the built-in eraser handles small corrections without reaching for a separate tool. Add it to a pencil case or desk drawer as a reliable everyday companion for technical work, note-taking and detailed illustration alike.
