Zebra PenF-701 Retractable Ballpoint Pen 4-Pack plus 2 Refills, Fine Point 0.8mm, Black Ink, All Metal Durable Construction – Easy-Glide Ink, Knurled Non-Slip Grip, Metal Clip (50113)

I love this mechanical pencil. Only drawback is that the metal sleeve that the lead slides through is not retractable. If you accidentally drop it and it hits the ground the wrong way, it can become damaged, and ruin the pencil. I made a protective 'cap' for the point using a short piece of 1/4 inch latex surgical tubing which I replace after every use, eliminating that problem. Zebra makes great pens and pencils.! Reasonably price for a quality product.

This is my favorite mechanical pencil to use. It has a nice sturdy feel but it's not too heavy and it feels really good in your hand. It looks really nice.

I love the size and the feel of the 🖊 and it's very sturdy with anice grip.

Love these mechanical pencils from Zebra. The case is sturdy & feels good in your hand. The extra fine lead leave your writing clean & crisp. The only down side is that the tip easily damages if you accidentally drop it, then you can’t write with it anymore. Still my go to pencil though.

nice writing pencil. im more into collecting and using technical pencils, which this IS NOT. but as a writing implement, it is very nice.

I have been on a good Pen hunt for months (I take a lot of notes), tried a dozen different brands/styles - these pens really do feel nice when writing, and they so far (after many weeks) have never stopped flowing ink (many I tried just skip areas on cheap paper).They are not overly expensive, but feel really well made in the hand - have become the only pens I use now.

I’ve mainly used the m-301 in the past and compared the that this pencil is fantastic. The main problem I’ve experienced with the m-301 is lead breaking easily and that the pencil would stop working at some point in time. With m-701 I’ve had yet to experience that, I even bought extra lead cases because I had expected the lead to break just as easily, but it’s the complete opposite. Over the course of owning the pencil and using it righteously during my time at school I don’t think the lead had even broken on me maybe twice over a 1-4 month school time period but that’s it and most likely that was me genuinely apply a substantial amount of pressure to the lead. However my only and forever gripe about zebras pencils is that the erasers just fade away to easily I spend more time buying erasers than I do with lead. Other than that the m-701 is my daily driver.
