![]() ![]() It’s convenient for travel, and is guaranteed not to stain your pocket with ink. Paper Mate – 34666PP Clearpoint (0.5mm)Ī good mechanical pencil can create smooth, consistent lines (without the need for sharpening). We tested brands known for their mechanical pencils (like Pentel) and the big two technical drawing brands, as well as some traditionally cheaper brands like Paper Mate. We know that different people are looking for different levels of quality (and “keepability”) in a mechanical pencil, so we also tested a range of price points, from around 15 cents to 25 dollars per pencil. We mostly chose pencils sized 0.5 mm to 0.7 mm, but we also tested some larger sizes for those who like range. Then, we took to Amazon to find the most popular and highly-rated pencils loved by consumers. We also consulted Wirecutter’s and Wired’s reviews of mechanical pencils. To find the best mechanical pencil, we scoured forums like r/mechanicalpencil and blogs like The Pen Addict (Brad and his friends also love pencils) and Bleistift to get an idea of the pencils the obsessives like best. The budget pick: Paper Mate – Clearpoint. ![]()
