What we carry in mechanical pencils

1

Pentel Mechanical Pencils

Nearly 300 Pentel pencils, the largest brand in the category, from the EnerGize-X 0.5 mm with side-click advance to the Sharp, Twist-Erase and GraphGear drafting lines professionals keep for years.

2

BIC Xtra Comfort and Velocity

The BIC Xtra Comfort 0.5 mm with a soft grip and built-in eraser is the most-ordered mechanical pencil on SNILLC, followed by the BIC Velocity 0.7 mm and Velocity Strong Lead 0.9 mm 5-count packs.

3

Paper Mate Handwriting 1.3 mm

The Paper Mate Handwriting #2 mechanical pencil uses a thick 1.3 mm lead that resists breaking, which makes it a favorite for elementary classrooms and early writers.

4

uni-ball, Zebra and Pilot

uni-ball Kuru Toga pencils that rotate the lead to keep a sharp point, Zebra steel-barrel mechanical pencils and Pilot models cover the student and office middle of the range.

5

Rotring Drafting Pencils

Rotring all-metal drafting pencils with hexagonal barrels and fixed lead sleeves for architects, engineers and designers who draw against rulers and templates.

About mechanical pencils

A mechanical pencil holds a stick of graphite lead inside a barrel and advances it by a fixed amount with each click of a push button, side button or twist. Because the lead is a precise diameter, the line stays the same width without sharpening, and the pencil can be refilled with new leads and erasers indefinitely. Disposable models from BIC and Paper Mate come preloaded with several leads and are sold in multipacks for schools; refillable models from Pentel, uni-ball, Zebra and Rotring are built to last for years.

Lead diameter is the main choice. The 0.5 mm size gives a fine, precise line for math, drafting and small handwriting but snaps more easily under pressure. The 0.7 mm size is the common all-purpose choice for note-taking and office work and is the standard for most student pencils. The 0.9 mm size and the 1.3 mm lead in the Paper Mate Handwriting pencil are stronger and darker, which suits young children, heavy-handed writers and anyone filling in test bubbles.

Features worth checking include a retractable or fixed lead sleeve, a metal versus plastic clutch, a latex-free cushioned grip, a built-in twist-up eraser and a shaker or side-advance mechanism that does not require moving the hand. Drafting pencils have a long fixed sleeve and a lead grade indicator. Most refillable pencils take any brand's lead in the matching diameter, so offices can stock Pentel Super Hi-Polymer leads for pencils of any make.

Mechanical Pencils buying guide

How to pick the right mechanical pencils and pack size.

  1. Choose the lead diameter

    Pick 0.5 mm for fine math work, drafting and small handwriting. Pick 0.7 mm for everyday notes and office use, the size with the widest selection. Pick 0.9 mm or 1.3 mm for young students, heavy-handed writers and test bubbling, because the thicker lead is harder to snap and writes darker.

  2. Disposable or refillable

    Disposable pencils such as the BIC Xtra Comfort and Velocity come preloaded with leads and erasers and cost little per pencil in 5-count or 10-count packs, which suits schools. Refillable pencils from Pentel, uni-ball and Rotring cost more up front but take standard leads and eraser refills for years of use.

  3. Look at grip and advance mechanism

    A cushioned grip reduces hand fatigue for long writing sessions, and side-click or shaker advance lets you extend lead without shifting your hold. Twist-up erasers hold more eraser than a small cap eraser. For drafting, choose a fixed 4 mm lead sleeve that rides cleanly along a ruler.

  4. Stock the matching leads and erasers

    Leads are universal by diameter, so a 0.7 mm Pentel Super Hi-Polymer lead fits a 0.7 mm BIC, uni-ball or Zebra pencil. HB is the standard grade for writing; 2B is darker and softer. Eraser refills are brand-specific, so check SNILLC's Erasers & Correction category for Pentel Z2-1N and PDE1 refills.

  5. Buy packs for classes, dozens for offices

    Mechanical pencils are sold as singles, in retail packs of 2 to 10 and in boxes of 12 of one model. Classrooms get the best value from multipacks of BIC or Paper Mate pencils. Offices should pick one Pentel or BIC model and buy by the dozen, and business members can request bulk pricing on 6 or more boxes.

Mechanical Pencils: questions, answered

Straight answers about buying mechanical pencils from SNILLC.

Are the mechanical pencils on SNILLC genuine brand products?

Yes. Every mechanical pencil on SNILLC is a new, genuine product from Pentel, BIC, Paper Mate, uni-ball, Zebra, Pilot or Rotring in the manufacturer's original packaging. SNILLC does not sell generic or relabeled pencils.

Can I buy mechanical pencils in bulk or wholesale?

Yes. Business members with a $49 per year membership get wholesale and case-pack pricing on mechanical pencils, normally sold 12 to a box or in cases of multipacks. For 6 or more boxes or pallet quantities, add the pencils to your cart and choose Request a bulk quote.

Which brands of mechanical pencils does SNILLC carry?

SNILLC carries about 370 mechanical pencils from Pentel (EnerGize-X, Sharp, Twist-Erase, GraphGear), BIC (Xtra Comfort, Velocity), Paper Mate (Handwriting, Clearpoint), uni-ball (Kuru Toga), Zebra, Pilot and Rotring. Pentel accounts for most of the selection.

Do you ship mechanical pencils nationwide and how fast?

SNILLC ships mechanical pencils to every US state from its Rancho Cordova, California warehouse, with tracking on every order. Items marked Ready to ship leave fastest. Transit time depends on the carrier and your distance from Northern California.

Is there a minimum order for mechanical pencils?

No. Retail shoppers can buy a single pencil or pack. Shipping is free on retail orders of $60 or more and $9.99 under that. Business members buy by the box or case at wholesale prices, and bulk quotes start at 6 or more packs.

What is the difference between 0.5 mm, 0.7 mm and 0.9 mm mechanical pencils?

The number is the lead diameter. A 0.5 mm lead draws a fine, precise line for math and drafting but breaks more easily. A 0.7 mm lead is the all-purpose size for notes and office work. A 0.9 mm lead, and the 1.3 mm lead in the Paper Mate Handwriting pencil, is thicker, darker and harder to snap.

Which mechanical pencil is best for elementary school students?

Thicker leads hold up best to a young writer's grip. The Paper Mate Handwriting #2 with 1.3 mm lead and the BIC Velocity Strong Lead 0.9 mm are popular classroom choices because the lead rarely snaps. For older students, the BIC Xtra Comfort 0.5 mm and 0.7 mm are the most-ordered pencils on SNILLC.

Can I use any brand of lead in my mechanical pencil?

Yes, as long as the diameter matches. A 0.7 mm Pentel Super Hi-Polymer lead works in a 0.7 mm BIC, uni-ball, Zebra or Paper Mate pencil. Eraser refills are brand-specific, so match them to the pencil model. SNILLC stocks leads in its Mechanical Pencil Leads category.

Are mechanical pencils allowed on standardized tests?

It depends on the test. The SAT and ACT require a wood-cased #2 pencil, while many state and classroom tests allow mechanical pencils with HB (#2) lead. Check the test rules before buying. For bubbling answer sheets, a 0.9 mm or 1.3 mm HB lead writes a dark mark that scanners read well.
