Its durable metal body and precise lead make it the go-to tool for architects, designers, and professionals who demand reliability and style in their daily writing instruments. ## Description "Graph Gear 1000" is a mechanical pencil full of functions for drawing and painting. The weight is moderate, and the slim pen tip has a 4 mm guide pipe that makes it easy to see the line even when the ruler is applied. The grip is made of rubber to prevent hand slipping and knurled dual clip specifications. This hard rubber reduces hand fatigue. In addition, HB, H, B, and 2B can be used properly because the core hardness display window is attached. Furthermore, when you press the clip, the pen tip will be stowed, so you will not damage the pen tip in your pocket or bag. Review: The retractable tip is a game changer! - I have used many drafting pencils (Rotring, other Pentels), but the GraphGear 1000 is my favorite for carrying around. The standout feature is the dual-action retractor—when you clip it to your pocket or notebook, the tip automatically retracts. No more stabbing myself or bending the fragile metal sleeve! The grip is unique a mix of knurled metal and rubber ovals. It gives you the precision of a metal grip without it being too harsh on your fingers during long writing sessions. It feels premium, heavy, and well-balanced. Highly recommended for students or architects who need a durable daily driver. Pros: • Retractable tip protects the lead and your pockets. • Grip is comfortable (metal + rubber). • Solid spring-loaded clip. Cons: • Slightly top-heavy compared to the GraphGear 500. 100% get what you pay for, totally worth it Size is perfect, easy to grasp Write speed is another level ✨✨✨ Review: Best Mechanical Pencil . . . Ever - OK, I'm a mechanical pencil nerd . . . That being said, this is the best mechanical pencil I've ever owned. I actually researched various ones and this one always seems to come out on top. I now know why. It works flawlessly, has a decent weight and feel (it's actually metal, not plastic), and the point retracts back into pencil when you press the clip so no more getting poked through your pocket. Seems really durable even with heavy use and, while more expensive then the cheapos you can get at the local retailer, you actually do get more for the money. Only disappointment is the replacement erasers made by Pentel are half the size of the ones that come with the pencil. ## Features - Package Dimensions: 19.2 cms (L) x 4.4 cms (W) x 1.1 cms (H) - Product Type: Writing Instrument - Package Quantity: 1 - Country Of Origin: Japan ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0013NHU7Y | | Additional Features | Retractable | | Age Range Description | Child, Teen, Adult | | Best Sellers Rank | #4,798 in Office Products ( See Top 100 in Office Products ) #63 in Mechanical Pencils | | Body Shape | Round | | Brand Name | Pentel | | Closure Type | Retractable | | Color | Blue | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (8,613) | | Drill Point | Medium | | Global Trade Identification Number | 04902506185334, 04902506188397 | | Grip Type | Knurled | | Hand Orientation | Left | | Hardness | 0.7 mm | | Included Components | Mechanical Pencil | | Ink Base | Oil | | Ink Color | Blue | | Item Dimensions | 0.39 x 5.91 x 0.35 inches | | Item Weight | 0.04 Pounds | | Line Size | 0.7 Millimeters | | Manufacturer | Pentel | | Material Type | Metal | | Model Name | gear | | Model Number | PG1017 | | Pattern | single item | | Recommended Uses For Product | Drafting, Drawing | | Style | 0.7mm | | Theme | Technical | | UPC | 787718248251 072512198087 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Water Resistance Level | Water Resistant | | Writing Instrument Form | Mechanical Graphite Pencil | ## Product Details - **Age Range (Description):** Child, Teen, Adult - **Brand:** Pentel - **Color:** Blue - **Ink Color:** Blue - **Writing Instrument Form:** Mechanical Graphite Pencil ## Images ![Graph Gear 1000 Mechanical Drafting Pencil 0.7mm Blue (PG1017) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71T57qkGPuL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: What hardness of lead comes with this pencil?** A: It comes with an H. I replaced this with my preference. An excellent pencil for sharp, clear lines. **Q: What is the difference between this (PG1013) and the PG1013E?** A: I think they are same. PG1013 is for selling in Japan. PG1013E(Maybe, E means for English persons) is for selling in the US. **Q: how do you refill leads into it?** A: Pull off the end cap that exposes the eraser, then put out the eraser and drop the lead into the opening. **Q: why does it NOT accept new lead? what am i doing wrong when trying to add new lead that was made for it?** A: Hello. The Pentel Graphgear 1000 comes in a variety of lead sizes. .3,.4..5,.7 and .9 mm. Please make sure you have the correct size for the pencil you have. Once you do, I load the lead from the top by removing the cap, then the eraser. Lastly, I drop a piece of lead inside of it. I work the action until the new piece has gone through and ready to write/draw. I then place a few more into the top and put the eraser and cap back on. I hope it works for you, because this is a very nice mechanical pencil. If not, then I would resort to the other suggestions, which I have never had to do with this mechanical pencil, but I have on many others. Good luck. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The retractable tip is a game changer! *by V***Y on December 1, 2025* I have used many drafting pencils (Rotring, other Pentels), but the GraphGear 1000 is my favorite for carrying around.

A nice sturdy pen that is great for drafting and fun to use. It’s got a good heft to it and is well made and fairly comfortable for writing (though technically it’s made for drafting). A very good value pencil! I did have one snap when I dropped it. But otherwise these are built tough. ## Frequently Bought Together - Pentel Graph Gear 1000 Mechanical Drafting Pencil 0.7mm Blue (PG1017) - Pentel® Super Hi-Polymer® Leads, 0.7 mm, Medium, HB, 30 Leads Per Tube, Pack Of 3 Tubes - Pentel Refill Eraser for Mechanical Pencils, 3 Tubes Per Pack, 4 Erasers Per Tube --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sg/products/4201200-graph-gear-1000-mechanical-drafting-pencil-0-7mm-blue-pg1017](https://www.desertcart.sg/products/4201200-graph-gear-1000-mechanical-drafting-pencil-0-7mm-blue-pg1017) --- *Product available on Desertcart Singapore* *Store origin: SG* *Last updated: 2026-04-26*
