The Pentel GraphGear 1000 is a professional-quality automatic pencil with a brushed steel barrel and rubber pips which make it comfortable to hold and easy to control. There's a push button to advance and retract the lead, preventing damage both to the pencil and to your pocket or bag, as well as a lead-grade indicator. It also has the clever feature that both the lead and guide tube are fully retractable, so they won't break or make holes in your pockets, and each pencil has an eraser neatly stored in its cap. The Pentel GraphGear 1000 Automatic Pencil comes with three Pentel Super Hi-Polymer HB leads.
