Professional Drafting Tool

The Pentel GraphGear 1000 PG1017C is a 0.7mm mechanical pencil built for architects, draftsmen, artists and enthusiasts. Its 4mm tip length suits precise work with rulers and templates. A dual-action retractor advances and retracts the tip to guard against lead breakage. A built-in hardness indicator lets you confirm the lead grade at a glance.

Compatibility Check

Verify that your workflow uses 0.7mm leads, as this model accepts only that diameter. The barrel measures 14.5034 cm in height, so confirm it fits your preferred pen case or desk organiser. The metallic grip adds 0.018 kg of weight, which may feel different from all-plastic pencils you have used before. No proprietary refills are required; standard 0.7mm leads and erasers work.

Sustained Use Behaviour

The metal barrel and chiselled grip with latex-free pads maintain a consistent balance during long drawing sessions. Super Hi-Polymer HB lead resists snapping under steady pressure, reducing interruptions to advance fresh lead. The fixed sleeve does not wobble, keeping line width uniform across extended passes. The capped eraser stays clean and functional throughout the day.

Questions about this item

Does the PG1017C come with spare leads or an eraser, or must they be bought separately?

The pencil is pre-loaded with Pentel Super Hi-Polymer HB lead and includes a cap to keep the eraser clean; additional leads or replacement erasers are sold separately.

The listing shows only the 0.7 mm version — how do I pick a different lead size if I need one?

This MPN PG1017C is the 0.7 mm model; other GraphGear 1000 sizes carry different MPNs and are separate listings.

How does the 4 mm tip length help when I use a ruler or template?

The 4 mm sleeve extends the lead far enough to draw clean lines against straight-edges without the barrel interfering.
