Zebra Pen Delguard Mechanical Pencil, Fine Point, 0.5mm, Blue Barrel, Refillable, 1-Pack, P-MA85-BL

Well worth the money, this mechanical pencil is better value than the more sophisticated Lx (P-MA86-BL) sibling. This model is currently £8 cheaper( March 2023) and just as effective. It has become a useful addition to my 'Every Day Carry'. Made of plastic, my only concern is the plastic clip could easily break.

Sturdy pencil that may last me for years if I don’t lose it! Lead lasted me at least three to four months, only using pencil for small drawings and math problems, but easily refillable when you remove the eraser, there is a hole to refill the pencil with. Clever engineering from the pencil so lead does not break which is easily taken for granted when switching back to old mechanical pencil. Very smooth pencil with no ridges to help with comfort but not uncomfortable to use.

The mechanical pencil arrived in a plastic wallet and a pencil lead pre-inserted. The Zebra Delguard works like a charm but it arrived with a noticeable chip in the clear area (where you hold it), easily ignorable but vexing for a stationery lover like me.

Bought as an upgrade for my cheap plastic mechanical pencil because the leads kept breaking. I think leads break because the workings of a pencil are poorly machined. None of that with the Zebra - it seems to grip the lead firmly, and allows you to write / draw at any angle. Very happy with my purchase.

I love these pencils, they have a mechanism which actually does what they say. Ok it's not perfect every time, but you can see the suspension working and the sleeve extending to protect the lead. Ok they have "borrowed" the look of the Kuru Toga, but really there was no need to, this pencils design is simple and elegant.

I needed one of these for my workshop and purchased the INCRA Mechanical Pencil version. This lasted one use before the top flew off never to be seen again. This one has better build quality, feels better and certainly does what is needed.

I bought this for the "unbreakable leads" with its fancy mechanism but it it does break, not the most comfortable pencil to hold either, my pentel graphgear is way better

I found out about this product while watching YouTube. I am really impressed with the quality of this pencil considering that it really is affordable. If you keep braking the lead in your pencil when writing or drawing, this is definitely for you! Thanks
