Pentel PENPD279TA Mechanical Pencil 0.9mm Hb

Product Description

The PENTEL PENPD279TA is a 0.9mm mechanical pencil designed for extended writing, drafting, and standardized test use. It loads HB lead, which meets optical scan requirements for machine-scored answer sheets. The barrel is tinted to give a clear view of remaining lead supply, so there is no guessing before a long session. A side-button lead advance lets users move lead forward without shifting grip or changing hand position. The latex-free Comfort-Zone grip reduces fatigue during prolonged use. The pencil measures 5.6 inches in height and 0.5 inches in width and weighs 0.03 pounds.

This pencil suits office professionals, students, test-takers, and drafters who need a reliable, refillable writing instrument. The side-button advance mechanism makes it practical for left- and right-handed users alike. It is sold individually and is well suited for desk use or carry in a shirt pocket via the integrated metal clip. The tinted barrel and refillable design make it a practical long-term tool rather than a disposable option.
