<p>Hey guys, I'm looking for a pretty good mechanical pencil, not like the cheap ones at CVS, but not too expensive either since I lose them a lot lol. Do you guys use any brands that you know are good?</p>
<p>I love my Zebra M-301. I was tired of having pencils break all the time so I got a metal one (it’s stainless steel). It’s been a year and it still works (I’ve never had a pencil last this long before). Furthermore, it’s quite cheap so if you lose it it’s not a big deal.</p>
<p>what?! 20 bucks for 1 pencil!?
[Amazon.com:</a> Zebra’s M-301 Stainless Steel Mechanical Pencil 0.5mm Black Dozen (54010AMZ): Office Products](<a href=“http://www.amazon.com/Zebras-Stainless-Mechanical-Pencil-54010AMZ/dp/B001CRS4EY/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top]Amazon.com:”>http://www.amazon.com/Zebras-Stainless-Mechanical-Pencil-54010AMZ/dp/B001CRS4EY/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top)</p>
<p>I love the Pilot Dr.Grip mechanical pencils and Pens. I can write for hours with them without my hands cramping. But I’m old and have arthritis, so my priorities may be slightly different to yours.</p>
<p>Bic. You can get a 24 box for $5.
$20/pencil is insane.</p>
<p>

<p>It’s for a dozen.</p>
<p>I would recommend jetpens (it’s a website) they have a lot of brands and good quality pencils for cheap.</p>
<p>I’m a huge fan of the [Pentel</a> Side FX](<a href=“http://www.amazon.com/Pentel-Automatic-Pencil-Assorted-PD257EBP2/dp/B002VL93BI/ref=sr_1_2?s=office-products&ie=UTF8&qid=1339929793&sr=1-2&keywords=pentel+side+fx]Pentel”>http://www.amazon.com/Pentel-Automatic-Pencil-Assorted-PD257EBP2/dp/B002VL93BI/ref=sr_1_2?s=office-products&ie=UTF8&qid=1339929793&sr=1-2&keywords=pentel+side+fx). It’s built really sturdy, there’s a great very large screw-out eraser, the rubber grip is very comfortable, and the 0.5mm & 0.7mm are different colors, so if you’re like me you can easily tell them apart if you use both.</p>
<p>thanks for the suggestions!</p>
<p>i love the bic quantech and the papermate pencil. forgot its name. but the quantech is nice</p>
<p>Thanks! I’ll look it up</p>
<p>zebra sarasa, you can get a pack for around 10-12 bucks.</p>
<p>I like these.</p>
