## Questions & Answers

**Q: What makes the pencil automatic?**
A: The term "automatic" comes later, as a term when the first mechanical pencils required that you twist them to advance the lead.  By twisting it however much, more or less came out.  The Pentel Sharp was among the first, if not the very first pencil to use a push-button that advanced the lead a Specific Amount with every click.  This is what was "automatic"--just the right amount of lead advancing to the tip with a single, quick of a button.  It was novel at the time, and the term "automatic" was applied to many things in the 70s that gained the effect of push-button operation, or hands-free help, like self-winding automatic watches, switch-blades, automatic transmissions, automatic umbrellas, auto shut-off faucets and sensors.  The term was true to form, not a sales gimmick but a real improvement in mechanical pencils.

**Q: How do these compare in writing comfort with Twist Erase with rubber grip? Thanks**
A: These are high quality drafting type pencils, but I have used these for many years for general writing and have never had any comfort issues.  If you have used instruments with rubber grips and prefer them, I would say go that way.  I hope this response helps you.

**Q: Does this pencil have an automatic feed where when the lead breaks the support piece moves and loads a new lead?**
A: No, it does have the “support piece”- a sheath that covers the lead as it’s advanced through the opening. However, should it break, you have to physically click the pencil top to advance the lead. That sheath is only there to lessen the chances of breaking the lead with too much pressure, it doesn’t have the fancy mechanism that other pencils do, but it’s still an excellent pencil nonetheless.

**Q: How can you tell the model number of the eraser that fits this P209?**
A: I have green, red and white erasers in tubes and they all fit my P205, P207 and P209 pencils. The tubes don't have a part number on them however the information on the tube only states "Pentel Eraser Refills".  If you order, i believe they will work.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ What the heck would I do without my P209s?
*by A***N on July 21, 2023*

My 5yo daughter uses the term "P209" when referring to pencils ever since she was a toddler. That's how much I revere these little workhorses and apparently use the term a lot as she picked it up. These are phenomenal mechanical pencils that I use often around the workshop, home, and office. I've all but thrown away all my #2s. The thicker lead is super robust and strong enough to supercede all your other pencils for marking material at the chop saw, scribbling sketches on random chunks of plywood, writing down hardware store lists on 2x4 cutoffs, laying out hole patterns on steel, and even - get this - writing things down on paper. The eraser is rather meager and a chore to get to... but I never make mistakes anyway (ha) and prefer the old "X it out" technique anyhow. They are yellow (well, I guess there's other colors, but who wants anything but OG yellow) and easy to spot across the shop, have a great clip for pocket carrying (my wife likes to rib me about carrying a pencil everywhere but immediately turns to me when she needs to write something down, ha!), have a satisfying and reliable click when you advance the lead, are really durable and put with my constant abuse, and are really reasonably priced for those times when the underwear gnomes come and take them away for profit, so it's no big deal to replace. Buy a 12-pack and you're good to go for a good long while. For an eraser hack, see Van Neistat on YouTube... for those with a lathe, make them with that instead of an epoxy booger.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Mechanical Pencil
*by J***Y on November 11, 2012*

I first learned about Pentel Sharp mechanical pencils from the architectural and engineering office of my organization, where they are the standard. The preference in A&E is for thinner leads, which I tend to break. So I turned to the 0.9mm lead size and couldn't be happier with it. The pencils themselves are comfortable and easy to use, with a smoothly operating mechanism, serrated grip surface, sturdy pocket clip, and effective polymer eraser. The slim shape and somewhat compact size are also benefits. The B and HB leads that I use write smoothly. Everything is refillable and the pencil lasts indefinitely. In sum, the Pentel Sharp is the standard for good reason.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ One of the best 0.9mm Mechanical Pencils
*by A***N on August 1, 2010*

Pentel Sharp P209G is one of the best mechanical pencils in the market. It is cost-effective, durable, aesthetically pleasing and easy and comfortable to hold. I bought it in bulk as it was cheaper. I needed about 10 pencils for different leads (4H, 2H, H, Red, Blue, HB, B, 2B, etc.) for my sketching needs. The use of different colors for different lead diameters makes it easy to pick the pencils from a group. Pentel Sharp comes in 4 diameters .3mm (Brown), .5mm (Green), .7mm Blue and .9mm (Yellow). I would recommend this product to all who are looking for a good mechanical pencil that will not dent your wallet.
