Pilot® G2 Mechanical Pencils

Pilot lead pencils create smooth details

Precise lines are an integral part of technical drawings, which makes a drafting pencil an ideal tool for blueprints, maps, and medical and science illustrations. Available with a 0.5 to 0.7-millimeter tip, a Pilot pencil has a sculpted latex-free grip that is more comfortable to use for extended periods of time. Appealing features include a retractable barrel, usage equal to about that of two wooden pencils, and a smudge-resistant eraser. The lead refill produces a consistent stroke that a traditional pencil may not, and eliminates the time that would be spent sharpening or locating another instrument. Additionally, the mechanical construction is convenient for travel, since there is no sharp protruding point.

Include a Pilot mechanical pencil with school supplies

Pilot and Paper Mate® mechanical pencils are an asset in the classroom because they deliver the right amount of pressure for standardized testing and have ergonomically shaped barrels for young hands to write with. Writing tips are available in 1.3 to 2.0-millimeter, with some of these instruments having twistable erasers, hardness indicators to make various models easier to identify, and translucent barrels to monitor lead usage. Quantities are generally 3 to 24 per pack, and range from neutral to brightly colored barrels, as well as plain and decorative styles.

Choose desk items that coordinate with a Pilot mechanical pencil

When shopping for the right Pilot pencil, remember to also stock up on all other writing and sketching essentials. Pick an organizer to hold markers, colored pencils, lead refills for your BIC® mechanical pencils, and extra erasers. Rulers and protractor sets align nicely alongside these types of pencils. Sticky notes, folders, and labels are always an asset for memo taking and categorizing documents.
