The Staedtler 760 is by far my favorite pencil. Don't be turned off by the "triangular" part. It is only vaguely triangular, and you won't notice it. THe weight in your hand is nice. The lead sleeve retracts, which means two things: it's safe in a pocket and you don't have to constantly push out more lead. The eraser is extra-long. It is inexpensive. And it will last for years.

Bought this pencil to layout patterns on wood, for chip carving. The lead is thick enough that it does not break from discrepancies in the woodgrain. Size-wise, it feels good in my hand.

Great pencil, thank you :)

I love this pencil. The 1.3 mm lead is great for those of us who are a little heavy-handed when writing. The replacement lead is a little on the expensive side but totally worth it. The triangular design is not as weird as it sounds. It is a rounded-triangle and fits great in my hand. I would recommend this mechanical pencil to anyone.

Well designed and comfortable. Mechanically flawless.
