Pentel A3 120DX mechanical automatic pencil 0.5mm A300 black barrel

Pencil is very njce to use. Light and well made, very good grip too. A bargain price , works perfectly. Would definitely buy again

Good quality items exactly as described and delivered on time also good value compared to others on Amazon. Easy to use propelling pencils light weight to use and look great. Thanks.

I needed a second set of pencils for College, one set to hold 2b leads and another to hold B leads, so I needed the pencil sets to look different from each other to save confussion. This pencil comes with one HB lead. It holds it's grip on the lead, with no slippage. The pencil feels nice in the hand. Is well balanced and has a little bit of weight behind it. The eraser under the cap, wears down quickly but can be useful if you haven't got a seperate eraser to hand. The pencil looks good and is solidly made, not like a cheap pencil. To retract the lead after uses, press the cap down and push the lead back in. This makes it pocket friendly. You can also get other size pencils in this range. 0.3mm 0.5mm 0.7mm and 0.9mm. These pencils are value for money. Good for School or College. (My other reviews will say the same about other pencils in this range).

Really good and can recommend!!

Pentel A3 120DX 0.5mm. £3.68 June, 2026. This series is great and the pencils are easy to use and do a good job. I prefer these 120DXs to the newer Sharplets from Pentel. I mostly use 0.9mm with 1B leads, but occasionally have need of other widths such as 0.5mm, 0.7mm, and 1.3mm (with 2B leads). I don't see any point in spending more, I do no draught work so don't need professional pencils. I do have a couple of the metal Uni Kuru Toga 0.5mm pencils (£12-15) in 2025 The rotating lead being sharpened as one writes or draws attracted me. I have not noticed the leads on the pentels becoming blunt though. I think the 120DX series is being discontinued but there are plenty still around on varios sites. Other than stepping on the pencil they are unlikely to break. Recommended product.

The price of mechanical pencils can be a bit eye watering and even though I use one every day at work I am not keen on shelling out a huge amount on one. Which is where the Pentel comes in. They are way better than you would expect for the price & incredibly reliable. The leads & erasers are very easy to replace and are stocked just about everywhere at reasonable cost. The grip is set just right and the feel of the pencil, while plastic, is firm and gives confidence in use. The lead's move smoothly into place with a quick depress of the top as they wear and make for accurate writing/ drawing. I guess that if you want a product for continual technical use that some more expensive options are perhaps more for you but if using for everyday drawing & writing then these are hard to beat + if you lose one you'll not need to worry too much as it is cheaply replaced.

Very fast delivery and pleased with the mechanical pencil.

Happy with the pencil seems to stay sharp when writing and comfortable grip.

Loved this pencil so much that ordered a second one. Have had the first for years now.

C'est du Pentel, rien à redire.

Well it took more than one month to arrive and I found Pentel P205 🤣 I am not mad though to receive something better than nothing!

perfekt

I want to thank Amazon for their excellent customer service. The pen initially arrived incomplete, but when I requested an exchange, they promptly sent me a brand-new one. As for the pen itself, it's fairly good—I'd rate it 3.5/5 overall.
