Pack contents

This pack contains 12 black mechanical pencils from Pentel, model PD279TABX. Each unit uses a 0.9mm lead diameter and comes pre-loaded with Super Hi-Polymer HB lead that never requires sharpening. The side-advance button feeds lead without breaking your writing rhythm, while the oversized twist-up eraser handles frequent corrections. A latex-free grip adds comfort during extended sessions.

Who this suits

Students and professionals who write heavily and prefer a thicker, break-resistant line will benefit from the 0.9mm format and durable lead. The side-click mechanism suits anyone who dislikes shaking or top-clicking to advance lead. Buyers who need a finer line for detailed technical drawings or very small handwriting should look at something else.

Deciding specification

The 0.9mm lead diameter is the single specification that decides whether this is the right part. It determines line width, lead strength and compatibility with refills, so verify that your workflow or refill stock matches this size before ordering.
