Product reviews for Twist-Erase III Mechanical Pencil, 0.7 mm, HB (#2.5), Black Lead, Red Barrel

These are a decent replacement for my old favorite, the Pentel Forte, which was discontinued a while back. The lead length isn't as perfect (one click isn't quite enough, two is just a bit too much and can break more easily) and I'm not totally in love with the squishy grip, but the size and weight are nice and the twist up eraser is pretty sweet. Durable and good for long stretches in my hand.

I love this pencil, unfortunately Burgundy is not available any more. I hope they reconsider having it in the future.

Fewer and fewer mechanical pencils on the market today, glad Pentel is still available. Always have been my choice. The TwistErase III is my daily use pencil for work and crosswords.

I like this pencil because it has a large eraser that I can refill and a grip. I just did not like how fat it was, I cannot really fit it in my pencil holder on my book.
