Rite in the Rain Weatherproof Mechanical Pencil, Orange Barrel, 1.3mm Black Lead (No. OR13)...

What can I say I love rites in the rain products they fit my lifestyle. The quality of their products are really good. This pencil is very versatile and the performance is great. It easy to use you get your money's worth out of it. The only thing that I don't like is that it only comes with one piece of lead and with ad much as I use it thats not enough. So if you buy one buy extra lead with it

The whole lower of the pencil is brass and I love it. I really needed a reliable pencil that didn't need sharpening and had good erasers for trigonometry. This fulfilled that and came at a great price. I will definitely buy more in the future. Only slight downside is the lead is pretty thick but hey it has never broken on me!

The pencil have some weight too wet it writes very smoothly I definitely get some more lead refills and yeah I like it so far its hold me up nice for drawing I feel like I have more control with it and I think its the weight of it and the led

I love this pencil, I carry it everywhere all the time and it is so far proving indestructible. On adventures, on the worksite, everyday: in the pocket, being abused without mercy. I choose high-vis for my smalls, like pencils, so I can find them if dropped in the field or in low-light conditions; the orange suits well. The weight is perfect. The metal knurled grip is indeed chonky enough to operate with gloves on, and/or cold, wet, numb finger stubs, and adds a nice low center of gravity to the instrument. The thicker lead also suits to field use with less breakage and dark marking, good in low light and under duress. My single complaint is that RITR erasers, and all other erasers I've tried so far, do not erase well on the RITR paper. A small price to pay. The trick is to write it right the first time.

This Rite In The Rain pencil in much nicer then the older models. I like that it has weight to it and feels good in the hand. It writes very well and the lead deploys and retracts easily without any hiccups. I tend to press down hard when writing and always snap thinner lead pencils. This 1.3mm lead is great and after just a few pages of writing can tell it's going to be one of my favorite pencils. I did not rate the durability do to just receiving it but I have no doubt it will last a long time. I gave the value 4 stars because for a pencil at this price it would have been nice to receive extra lead and a couple erasers. It will be another 14 dollars for lead and erasers but as the saying goes, you get what you pay for. My original Rite In The Rain pencil is now three years old and still going strong but it just feels to light and small in diameter in my large hands. I like the metal pinch area and just that little large diameter makes a big difference when writing for long periods of time. Is it worth it, I think so and I would definitely purchase another one. The eraser works very well and the lead is super strong. I read a few reviews on people breaking these pencil's so I applied pressure to the plastic part with my thumb and it was plenty strong and I am a welder with large strong hands. Maybe don't sit on it or purposely try snapping it to test it's strength. Well worth the money if you use it for what it was fabricated for. You can't go wrong with any Write In The Rain product but then again that is just my opinion after using there products for years. Heavy handed approved.
