SAKURA 50286 SumoGrip 0.7-mm Pencil with Eraser, Clear Gray

Perfect pencil for people who death-grip while they write. My hand doesn't cramp as quick when writing with this pencil and the soft grip helps to keep my fingers in place. The eraser the pencil comes with is pretty good too. I think the pencil feels sturdy enough, it'll definitely last me multiple semesters! I write very hard and the lead hasn't broken inside the pencil tip yet! Such an improvement from my Papermate Clear Points. If you were disappointed with those, you'll probably like these! I do wish these came in cuter colors :(

I am a writer and I prefer to write first by hand with a pencil. I am so happy with this #9 Sakura SumoGrip mechanical pencil! It's comfortable to use. The eraser is quality and will actually erase and not leave a black smear. The lead is of excellent quality and does not easily brake, plus it slides easily into place. Highly recommend!

I like the feel. Balanced. Comfortable to use. Will be easy to refill, when the time comes. Looks nice as well.

I wasn’t expecting much but it’s become one of my favorites. The retractable tip, light weight and general durability makes it a great travel pencil. I have sensitive fingers so the grip is also a life saver!

I love this pencil. My son brought one home from school, and letbme use it. I immediately came to Amazon to order myself one. It's thick and easy to grip onto. Writes smoothly. Easily the best mechanical pencil I've used.

Writes very well and comfortable to hold with the soft grip. Wish it weren't white though, as within a week it has gotten dirty and not so pleasant to look at on my office desk when high end clients are there. Also wish it were a bit shorter, but I'm odd like that. :) Overall, I do recommend for a durable pencil.

Best, most comfortable to hold mechanical pencil ever. I like the 0.9 -mm graphite…doesn’t break as easily. Glides across paper easily, my hand and fingers don’t hurt when writing a lot. Also the fat barrel keeps my hand from cramping. I ordered another one. Good value for money, nicely designed.

I take notes all day. I love the sharpness of a 5 mm lead but they break a lot. This pencil has a great feel to it. Unfortunately the 5 mm was too late for me. I bought a seven and a 9 mm and both are both fantastic.

This is my go to pencil. The 9mm is particularly durable but the 7 and 5mm are also super comfortable to write with.

As a Montblanc 149 fountain pen user , my general preference towards writing instruments is girthy grip and robust yet light body . Since i hate ball point pens , so as an alternative i chose to write with pencil . But almost all brands have disappointed me except pilot , and sakura. Pilot is though fabulous yet on the costlier side , while SAKURA SUMO grip meets all my criteria, a fat girthy grip with a robust featherlight body has resulted into excellent ergonomics . I am eager to get my next sakura , and will request the seller to bring more colour variations.

Un must para los amantes de Sakura

Muy buen lapicero. Muy cómodo

Be warned - exactly the same pencil design by the manufactuer is being sold at a far lower price in the UK on the Amazon website - just of a different color (transparent white instead of blue)
