Pentel PENPG527C Graphgear 500 Drafting Pencil 0.7mm

Product Description

The PENTEL PENPG527C GraphGear 500 is a mechanical drafting pencil built for precision technical drawing and drafting work. It accepts 0.7mm lead and uses a 4mm fixed sleeve that stays extended during use, making it compatible with drafting templates and straightedges. The barrel is weighted for balanced handling, and the metallic mesh grip provides consistent control during extended drawing sessions. Preloaded with Pentel Super Hi-Polymer HB lead, the pencil delivers strong, dark lines without sharpening. A built-in lead hardness indicator on the top of the barrel lets the user track lead grade at a glance. A top-click advance mechanism and a stationary eraser with tip complete the feature set.

The PENPG527C is suited for technical drafting, engineering drawing, architectural work, and detailed illustration. The fixed sleeve design makes it practical for template work where a retractable tip would catch on stencil edges. The blue barrel version is a standard choice in office, classroom, and drafting studio environments. It is used by drafters, engineers, architects, students, and design professionals who need consistent, fine-line output from a mechanical pencil.
