Pentel, PENPD255A, Side FX Automatic Pencils, 1 Each

I adore these pencils, whether it be for writing or drawing. I've gone through many of them over the years, being accident prone. Knowing they're no longer being made breaks my heart. I've tired other pencils through the years and I've never loved them as much. I've had some of these pencils for so long I've Frankenstein'd them together.

I've had the same pencil since 6th grade and am now a Junior in High School and recently broke mine to where I can't fix it. I draw and sell art and as an artist, this pencil by far out of the tens, if not close to hundred pencils I have tried and used, this is the best one i have used. The grip and the size is comfy as well as the length of the pencil itself. It doesn't slip or ride up when I write or sketch. The easy and quick click in order to get more lead out is so quick I can just get right on to drawing or righting again. The 0.5 lead is an accessible characteristic in pencils but a nice feature to have in such a big pencil and for someone who draws. (Tiny, tiny details.) The size of the pencil also helps avoid getting cramps which really nice. I have recommended this pencil to many others but didn't realize it was discontinued. I first knew about the pencil through a recommendation and someone lending me theirs. I do hope that these pencils are brought back into stock for many reasons but I and many others who have enjoyed using this pencil will live. I appreciated it while it lasted. :) ♡
