Work-Ready Mechanical Pencil

Love the feel of the pencil and the thicker lead that increases durability of point. I typically use 0.9 mm with decent results in other mechanical pencils but this significantly thicker pencil lead on the Rite in the Rain pencil is more to my likeling. I have not use it for marking wood or crafts but it should well in that application.

So I have big fat hands that have both had carpal tunnel surgery a year ago. My dexterity is fine but skinny little pencils don't do it for me. I use three mechanical pencils: 1. An Uni Kuru Toga, for fine work. The best part of this pencil is that it's metal and somewhat heavy with a great eraser. 2. A Pica-Dry Longlife, which I use for carpentry, the little holster is sweet. 3. This Rite-in-the-Rain 1.3, which I use for everything else. I really really like this pencil, it's generally comfortable , lays down a nice line on about anything (I use it for marking eggs for incubation a lot), and has a nice clip that rides well in a pocket. Replacement leads and erasers are cheap. My dislikes, which I think are unique to me: I wish it had a bigger barrel and was heavier. It doesn't feel flimsy exactly but it's not super ergonomic for big hands. The erasers do a great job erasing but they aren't tight enough in the cup that holds them, I've repeatedly had the pencil in my pocket with the clip and had the eraser come out of the cup. I don't like putting sharp things in chest pockets because I work a lot in the mud, but when I have to I use the Pica-Dry because of the holster. All in all this is a great pickup. It lets me help my kids with homework and write whatever needs written.

It's mechanical pencil. The red easily rights in the rain and it works great with those pads that are made to write on in the rain. I'm not sure if it's the lead or what. But the price is right and they write well... And I can tell you that I was taking notes during an inspection on one of my wet writable pads using this pencil, in a mild rain, and it works great.

The best thing about this design is that it is a normal mechanical pencil, but with all the upgrades you would hope for. It is ergonomic, allowing for fast writing. It also uses thick 1.3mm lead so it won't break on you, has a generous eraser for mistakes we will inevitably make, and a durable construction to withstand being used by bozos or us grunts. The great thing about using pencils in the field is that lead typically won't smear or wash out like ink will. It also won't become stubborn after a while and wear out like pens will with their ink coagulating at the tip or exploding. This is a terrific investment and it will last a long time before you need to buy more lead.

I love this pencil, in particular the thick lead and the feel in my hand. However, as an everyday work EDC it's not perfect. The eraser falls out somewhat easily. Thats pretty much the only flaw I've experienced though. I'd like a version of this pencil with a screw on cap to contain the eraser. Then, I think it'd be perfect as an EDC but as a pencil that lays around the house or in a clipboard, it's fantastic. Love this company

This is a great pencil for rough work be it field notes, marking lumber or anything else. It doesn’t smear like pen, writes upside down and works on wet paper. The size makes it work well with gloves too. It’s great and seems it will last a while

Purchased this mechanical pencil because 0.5mm and 0.7mm leads of other pencils I own can't take the abuse of marking laminate and other materials hard enough to make the cutting line easy to view. So far I am quite pleased with its functionality and fit for the purpose. I am not breaking leads, and the lead advance/retract feature works as it should. The triangular barrel shape keeps it on the workbench when other pencils blow off in the wind from miter saws. Quite satisfied and am contemplating getting a second to have around for desk use.

this is a great pencil ...I love it

Always liked mechanical pencils but preferred the thickness of a wooden. This is great!
