Going along with the buy the best tool thinking I have labored for a while to find the best mechanical pencil that I could find. The 0.3mm Alvin draft/matic pencil has so much to like. Cheap, balanced to the grip, substantial feel, not too thin, cushion tip (like the expensive cross ones) and best of all it leads to an incredible precision in writing.
I LOVE this pencil.

- pasbesoin 16y agoI've been looking to replace a lost Koh I Noor Rapidomatic about which I had (have) similar feelings. (The older, brass barrel ones are no longer available, even on eBay.) I'll give this a try, albeit perhaps in the 0.5 mm format.
- weaksauce 16y agoI have the complete set from 0.3 to 0.9 and they are all equally well made. I got mine on amazon with prime and it was free shipping / no tax.
- Periodic 16y agoI've been in love with the Zebra M-402. I've had two of them now for a few years and they're still going strong. They have a very solid metal build, so they rarely break leads and the advancement mechanism hasn't failed me yet. I will look into those Alvin pencils.
