The best budget drafting pencil?(Pentel Sharp P207 Review)

Hey guys, how are you doing?

Drafting Pencils are mechanical pencils that are specialized for drawing. Well great Muthu, where can I buy one? Wow, slow down there, they're great but they can be quite expensive. I think I have found one that is a good drafting pencil but at the same time is wallet-friendly, let's check it out.

The good stuff -

I personally love the design, its not too crazy but not too simplistic either, it doesn't stand out, but it's not bland and boring either. I like the fact that they still found room to include an eraser plus, they acknowledge the fact that the eraser gets small quickly so they include 2 extras. It's slim, like a drafting pencil should be, you can easily see your art when you are drawing. The build quality is great, its solid metal, it won't break or dent if you drop it on the floor.

The bad stuff -

The eraser is small and I get why they had to make it this small, but they could have at least made it of higher quality. It gets small in about 10 uses, and it's really hard to push up and Pentel acknowledged this as I said, but I would still like it to be better. I would have preferred the tip that injects the lead to be retractable, but it's not. When you are carrying it in your pocket, the tip can poke holes in your clothes. It is a shape that has a lot faces so it is EXTREMELY easy to scratch.

Final Verdict - 8.5/10

It is a great drafting pencil, although corners were definitely cut, for example the eraser.

Thanks for reading guys, see you in the next one!
