Pentel GraphGear 500 Mechanical Drafting Pencil

The Pentel GraphGear 500 (PG500 series) is a classic technical drafting pencil favored by students, artists, and architects for its low center of gravity and durable metallic grip.  

Key Features:

• Suitable for drafting and general writing.
• Low Center of Gravity: The heavy metallic mesh grip shifts weight forward toward your fingertips, reducing writing fatigue and increasing control during long drafting sessions.  
• 4mm Fixed Lead Sleeve: Designed specifically to clear ruler edges and drafting templates without blocking sightlines or bending.  
• Metallic Mesh Grip: Provides a textured, non-slip hold for precision writing and fine detail drawing.  
• Lead Hardness Indicator: Built-in degree indicator cap at the top push-button lets you mark which lead grade (e.g., HB, 2B, 2H) is currently loaded.

Pentel uses standard color-coded plastic barrels to quickly distinguish lead sizes:
