I bought 3 of these for use as carpenter's pencils. My thinking was simply that the 0.9mm lead would be fine enough for reasonably accurate marks but robust enough not to break readily while sliding in and out of my nail bag, writing on timber, steel, aluminium, walls, etc. I am pleased to say that they are great for this purpose. I did my research first and these Pentel P200 series mechanical pencils had a great reputation for being extremely reliable and economical. I haven't had them long enough to conclude longevity but there doesn't appear to be much that can go wrong with them. As a bonus, Porter & Cable fabric pencil leads (white) are also 0.9mm so will work in this pencil. I've ordered a dozen of these refills for use on black steel, or any surface that is too dark to clearly see the standard graphite marks. Should be far better than trying to use a soapstone for accurate setting out.Read full review

This little pencil is awesome, a great gift, and I use it every day with my planner diary. The 0.9 lead is perfect too, always choose HB leads to get a smooth result for both writing and drawing. Love it!
