STAEDTLERMechanical Pencil 1.3 mm, Yellow Body (771)

Love them! I saw Willem Dafoe using one on his movie. ‘The Hunter’ , liked it so much. I decided to buy some.

I love this mechanical pencil.I’ve bought 4 of these so far, one for my granddaughter, one for me and two to share for others.

I'm an older man, and have some small tremors in my hand... this is problematic when writing, so I compensate by bearing down hard... this controls the tremors, but when using a normal mechanical pencil I break leads a lot when pushing like that... this pencil is the thickest lead I've ever found in such a pencil, 1.3mm, and it works well for me... very satisfied customer...

I've been disappointed with how easily my .5mm leads break with my Alvin Draftmatic when I'm sketching big or bold. Wanted a thicker lead so that I could use 2B without having to deal with constant breaks. This pencil is a great compromise, with 1.3mm leadIt weighs nothing - like a feather. Took a while to get used to, but I like it now. Feels great in the hand, nice and chonky, and I haven't had a lead break yet. 1.3mm is fat and sturdy, yet not so big you need to sharpen it. Big pencil, big lines. The tip retracts inside for protection.The eraser is refillable with the June Gold retractable 12 pack, just cut them in half. I don't usually like plasticky things, but this is the exception. Bought the mega pack of Bild 2B leads and I'm all set.

I bought this to use hopefully as an EDC mechanical pencil. I’ve carried a Fisher Space pen in my pocket now for at least 10 years and have found myself at times wishing I had a pencil instead. My absolute favorite mechanical pencil is the Write in the Rain 1.3mm pencil, I have at least four of them, one in each of my notepad pouches.I’ve attached a few photos to show how big this pencil actually is, including one that compares it to the Write in the Rain 1.3 mm pencil.This one is just a tad too long and a much to chunky for EDC.I included my EDC pouch from Alpaka that I started carrying about a year ago after I poked holes in my pockets with my pen and flashlight (luckily I caught each one as they dropped out while walking).

I bought one of these pencils in college many years ago but lost it then forgot about it, including how great the pencil was to hold and write with so long ago. I just randomly saw the exact pencil on amazon when i found a really old case of 1.3mm lead in my desk and wondered where it came from and why i even had 1.3mm lead. Thought I'd look up 1.3mm pencils on amazon to see if i could make use of this thicker lead because not only had i had been breaking lead from the 1.7mms I've been using lately, but the pencils seem to have a mind of their own. Lo and behold i saw this yellow staedtler pencil on amazon and thought it looked familiar. Then I remembered the pencil i had from almost a couple decades ago and how it was the best pencil i ever had. The 1.3mm lead i found in my desk was from that one I bought with the original many years ago! Thats why i had it! I did not hesitate buying it again. Glad i bought it again because I have ADHD and noticed that the pencil is able to keep up with my brain which means i can write without the pencil lagging so I'm able to write without errors or constantly breaking lead. Totally unbelievable! After some thought I surmise the reason for this is that the pencils large surface area (size) means more haptic signals going to the brain, thereby minimizing the possibility of loss of signal like what happens when i write with smaller pencils. I get so frustrated from writing with smaller pencils due to continually breaking lead and making writing mistakes. Many times im writing something contrary to what my brain instructed to write nanoseconds earlier. With this staedtler that doesn't happen. Weird but true...

This is exactly what I’ve been looking for. Good value, quality product.

Love 1.3 mm pencils, sturdy feel in hand
