By far the single best me
on April 1, 2016
Posted by: Brendan
By far the single best mechanical pencil I've ever owned. 1 pencil has lasted me the past 4 years through school and is still in fully functioning order with all the original parts. As for peoples 'lead breaking' issues, that's really only a problem if you let too much lead out at once and or press too hard. All-in-all, this is a very high-quality product priced criminally low. Nothing but good experiences with this pencil. My only gripe would be that the eraser doesn't last long at all, had to buy numerous replacement erasers/standalone erasers. Other than that this pencil is fantastic for all your pencil needs.

I've used lots of pencils
on February 21, 2016
Posted by: Justin
I've used lots of pencils and this is the only one I'm truly comfortable with. A lot of people at my school use it and say they love it as well. I actually lost the two I bought and it just feels weird now using any other pencil. That's why I'm now on here buying more :) And its also a really good pencil for dressing. I put it in my shirt's front pocket every day for school cause I think it look slick.

I have had the same M-301
on February 16, 2016
Posted by: Layton
I have had the same M-301 (0.5 mm) for about 2 or 3 years, and I have loved it the whole time. Without a doubt it is one of the best mechanical pencils out there. Refilling is easy, and the top cap doesn't fall off, it holds firm. The only thing I've never liked about any mechanical pencil ever, are the erasers. But with the amount of erasing I do, my Steadtler click eraser is the only one I use. The pencil itself is easy to hold, and doesn't slide around. I have wide hands, and this is an easy pencil to grip and to use for hours at a time. I have gone through years of engineering classes and this has held up like a champ. The mechanical parts inside have never had any problems, and still feel solid after thousands upon thousands of clicks. I expect this mechanical pencil to easily last my lifetime. Thanks Zebra!

The pencil that introduce
on February 4, 2016
Posted by: margaretabelt
The pencil that introduced me to the wonderful world of ZEBRA products!!! I do the majority of my school work with my zebra pencils and feel sad when I don't have one. I love it! Makes my cursive flowy and my hand stays comfortable during long note taking sessions! One of the best parts: The lead doesn't break easily like it does in those other companies' mechanical pencils do! They're so reliable! I never thought I could love a pencil so much

I found one of these back
on October 26, 2015
Posted by: Keith
I found one of these back in High School Freshmen Year. I have used them my entire life since then. These are the finest mechanical pencils there are and I refuse to use any others. I always get them in 0.5mm. The 0.7mm is ok but I find that the 0.5mm lead looks neater and looks better. I have also started using the Pen models though I prefer to use pencils when ever possible at work.
