Did you know about drafting pencils? They're like fancier versions of mechanical pencils! They're also a great Father's Day gift idea. ;)
JetPens How much are these also can you use these for sketching
@@eriegarcia You can find all the prices by clicking the link in the description! And yes, many artists use drafting pencils for sketching.
Hmm I have only used regular mechanical pencils, so far the Rotring is my favourite, but now I eant to try a drafting pencil. Might try to stick to Rotring
What does the HB and B mean at the top of these pencils?
@@d0lly4ngel It tells you how dark the leads are
i was unreasonably impressed by the one where you can adjust how much lead comes out with a click 😂
hahaha
I bought one of those a few years ago in 0.3mm . It was a total disappointment. The internal parts had a lot of play. There was so much misalignment between the moving parts that they would break the lead just from pressing the button. It wasn't functional.
Actually I bought one last month and it was really good. I would totally recommend again
@@NickAlexeev did u buy a fake one?
I bought one, does anyone know where to get refills for the erasers?
I love how Jetpens always takes the time to say words in different languages properly! ❤️❤️
Naom Mad me too!
It’s nice they have actors with the capability but it’s supper important to realize it’s not about taking the time, not everyone is able to pronounce every sound and if a sound isn’t used in a language you learned young coping mechanisms for hiding stutters and other pronunciation challenges otherwise unnoticeable.
I know, I now know how Staedtler is pronounced
I like the rolled "R" in Rotring. Even though mine was made in Japan.
Yes. Shows how much they care. 👏🏻👏🏻
Who else watches these videos ...goes and looks at the price online and go to watch another video😂
TBH, me whenever i see videos like these
me all the time and i realize i’m broke 😭😂
why you attacking me?:(
lmao im too poor for those pencils
I look at the price and save up money for it, but that takes so long!
I like this narrator. I don't feel like I'm being condescended to in this video.
Wow, you people are soft.
What does this even mean
@@xypaisb8026 Means the OP doesn't feel like the narrator is treating him like a child.
WOW, I *never* saw some of those features before such as adjustable sleeve! Thanks so much for the clear descriptions and close up views. The Rotring 600 is my fave now: hefty and inviting to use every day. I prefer real METAL knurled grips, so my red Koh-I-Noor will never feel neglected.
In high school and college, a drafting pencil was considered the coolest thing. I think I have a Rotring from that time but when I started designing I ended up using a lead holder with a 7H lead and a lead pointer. 🤷🏻♀️
Oh this brought back memories from the days I was a Draughting Cadet in the late 70s early 80s. Looks like a mechanical pencil hasnt really changed. Staedtler, Rotring, Faber Castell and later the pentel ones. Except we only used a 0.5 and then did all the real work with draughting pens from 0.18 up to 2mm. Still have all of them as well. Lettering stencils, drop compass, bow compass for tiny circles, oh wow, memory lane.
My favourite made it in your list! The Pentel Graph Gear 1000. I'm prone to irritate the side of my middle finger due to the constant friction with the barrel. The raised rubber in the barrel of this pencil helps a lot.
These are super sleek!
Definitely putting one on my “Early Back To School List”
thank you for making this video, this was exactly what I needed because I love drafting pencils so damn much!!!
That’s a sub from me, had trouble finding a good drafting pencil for drawing, and this helped me chose. Thanks a lot!
I am a finish carpenter and I use the Pentel GraphGear 1000, I have .7 and .9 with different leads depending on what i'm doing, it allows me to make very precise marks for cutting or carving, I also like how small the amount of lead per click is. I just wish the body was thicker so it would stay behind my ear better, since the weight to size doesn't allow it to. Other than that I love it.
The Graph Gear 500 is my personal favorite, but my first recommendation is always Pentel's P200 lineup. They're inexpensive enough to serve as an entry-level or to buy in bulk and are remarkably durable and reliable, though I would recommend sticking to the original dull colors as the shinier plastics don't feel as sturdy. I used the same P207 all through middle school, high school, and university, and the only age it shows is some worn metal and a slight sponginess to the mechanism.
Graph gear 1000 is god
@@mariodejesusparadamartinez4101 1000 is a bit too heavy for me, the 500 feels more balanced overall
@@internallyscreaming2788 well, i suppose everyone likes different things
@@mariodejesusparadamartinez4101 is the graphgear 1000 good for writing/note taking?
I LOVE the channel and you sell great items! :D
I've been using my pilot s3 for over 3 years and didn't notice the taper until it was mentioned in the video,,,,my life is changed forever
I really love and recommend the Pilot’s. They feel super nice and comfortable to use. I got the H-325 model (no one seems to carry the S-series in my neck of the woods...) which are identical to the s3 pens. But yeah, the color choises of the S3 look super good, and the S20 😍😅😁👍
*4:59*
Jetpens:- Did we mention any of your favourites ?
Me:- *All are my favourites* !
Also me:- 😭 I am broke !
Same lol
Bruh the cheapest ones are like 5 dollars or less 😑
Wrong it’s graph gear 1000 ftw
The video I've been waiting my whole life.
I'm a long time Pentel customer here in Brazil. That Graphgear is a little too light for me. I prefer the 500 series!! Btw, what a beautiful selection you guys chose for the video!!
YAY u mentioned my fav. The Pilot-H325
Jetpens: The stuff you didn't know you needed.
JetPens videos are my favorite videos on youtube.
Been using a Pentel Graph Gear 100 in 0.7mm since sophomore year of high school and I carry it around everywhere! Still love it :)
What are you in now. Senior? Have you tried the uni kuro toga roulette? It's my main pencil and been using it for three years. The only problem I have with it is that the lead sleeve isn't retractable
@@bigcoconut7635 Actually I'm a sophomore in college now! I also have kuru toga, but I like the retractable lead sleeve a lot!
@@bigcoconut7635 I hate the kuru toga, it just feels cheaply made, especially after holding the rotRing 600. I suspect it's because the kuru toga is made of plastic
@@sarthakmohanty5992 There are metal kuru togas
@@sarthakmohanty5992 buy the roulette or high grade version of kuru toga
I want that pilot S20. Looks so good and feels good too I'm sure.
I think platinum pro use 171 is the best drafting Mechanical pencil!!!! Thanks for making this video!!!
Using the same Bic Matic of €5 for ages and it still is my favorite!
Best and my favourite channel of all time!!!!
wow man...made my life..
Nice one Subscribed...Keep'em comin....
I used that pilot pencil for YEARS (proving that it is instead of great value) until the lead got badly jammed because I've never known the function of that needle on the eraser.... until this video
On a close-down sale I've found a Pilot H-329 0.9mm which I've fallen in love on first sight. It really disturbs me that it's 0.9 and haven't found any of its type anywhere in my country. Now I've found that the S3 series is roughly the same pencil.
JetPens is the best channel of stationery! I like your videos so much.
I’m extremely picky on the pencils to suit my needs. The rotring 800 mechanism and wobble feels very cheap. The 600 non retractable lead is a deal breaker for me. The rapid pro seems very fine, a normal high quality pencil. I currently use the pental gg 1000, and although the inside is not aluminium, it is an awesome pencil, its mechanism is very interesting. Next ones i will try is the ohto and the pipe lock!
Hmm I can't decide, I'll just have one of each please.
The rotring 600 has one of my favorite unintentional features. The eraser cover's sharp edge can be used as a punch to make replacement erasers from a block eraser. I prefer to do this with plastic erasers as they hold together the best. :)
Brilliant!
I'm set on that Uni Shift Pipe Lock. Blue!
What a way to end the school year!
Omg…never knew the rod on the eraser was for cleaning the tip!! Learn something everyday.
I'm using Uni shift pipe lock drafting pencil, I bought it today so I didn't get used to it, but I want to say Uni shift pipe lock is very good! :D
After a few years I am now 2 pencils away from having all of these, I just need to buy the Pilot S20 and the Pro Use 171 (I am trying to buy the matte black version). I am at little disadvantages being in Mexico and not having that great of an income and the expensive shipping some sites have for me 😅
I love the Pentel Graph Gear 1000!
Another feature to look for is weather it has a plastic or metal clutch. Plastic is cheap, metal is excellent.
The graph gear 1000 doesn't come with a led jammer cleaner except for the 0.4 and you have to order it from Japan. Thank you.
Ive got most of them. The OHTO Super ProMecha is fully adjustable and a very good aluminum pencil, the Rotring 600 is a classic and it'll never let you down (I think its made of brass), I always keep a Pentel in my bag and the Graph Gear 1000 is probably one of the best pencils Pentel ever made, the Platinum Pro was too large for my taste (thats just me - it is a really fine pencil), but the Pilot S20 is just perfect in every way. Its a shame they dont make them in 0.7 and 0.9. When I bought these they were being sold as Pilot NAMIKI S20.
2:03 so it’s the same type of stand as star platinum
ahh i see you're a man of culture
Good grief
Jesus
jojo reference
I didn't expect a drafting pencil could be an object stand
Was hoping the Staedtler 925 25 (aluminums) would have been on here. I can concede that they don't have a ton of extra bells and whistles, but they feel so fancy as a set. If I were to give them a selling point like the rest on the list, it's the breadth of the lineup, as they come in a .3/.5/.7/.9/1.3/2.0, and gave a partnered pencil grip. If you want something that covers the whole range and won't make you change your grip or handle differently between sizes, those might be your choice.
We need a pt 2 to this
I have the Pentel 1000 personally love them I have the 0.3 0.5 0.7 and the 0.9 didn't know of the 0.4 but still absolutely love them and the lead that comes in with them some of the best I have used
is the graphgear 1000 good for writing/note taking?
I have a pentel graphgear 1000 in .5 clipped to my pocket right now using 2B
Share a video for additional lead setting after the previous lead would be smaller
Muy buen video e información. Me suscribo....!!!!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I like me a simple staedtler 925 pencil. Just works and feels right.
god ive binge watched this for almost 4 hours
Can’t decide what I want; guess I got to buy them all now.
Pilot s20 looks beautiful especially in red
Not going to lie I use my kuru toga roulette as a drawing and drafting pencil. It's just so handy. I'm absolutely in love with it!!!!
Love your profile pic
That's cool. Would like to own the roulette. I currently have the high grade in black and .5mm!
I have one similar to Pilot S3, it's Pilot H-325 in 0.5 and it has the same design..
I realy lived them thank you
i bought my pro use 171 one year ago, and since then it become my favorite mechanical pencil of all time.
it has low balance, so it write and draw easily, and the knurling grip is long and comfortable.
and most of all, the lead protect mechanism work like cushion, so you can easily adjust your line variation with this pencil.
if i have to pick one downside, its the clip. the clip is too long, and the end of the clip is also pointy so it easily poke your hand. and since the barrel is completely rounded, it rolls off if you remove its clip. kinda make me wish they make the body hexagonal, or make its clip more smaller and less pointy.
Surprised you did not include the Pentel Graphgear 500 here, even if they are the Japanese PG51x version with the lead hardness indicator rather than the U.S. version PG52x. As a teacher with well over 100 Mechanical Pencils in my collection the workhorse Graphgear 500 (PG527) is the pencil that goes to my classroom everyday for the past 7 years. It is the best all a round price vs high quality mechanical pencil in my book.
We recommend the Pentel Graph Gear 500's older brother, the 1000, in our guide: www.jetpens.com/blog/the-best-drafting-pencils/pt/781
I've always used the Graphgear or Rotring, either brand are excellent and sturdy enough for the beating they take in my line of work.
Pentel graph gear 1000, though I may have to give the Rotring 600 a try.
I have both Rotring 600 and the Rotring rapid pro and I prefer the rapid pro much better cause of the retracing sleeve
The Rotring 500 is also amazing and in my opinion better than the 600. It has a durable plastic body instead of brass which makes it much lighter, and also jams significantly less.
Can you guys recommend me which brand of lead is the best? Every time I write on my notebook it tends to be really messy since I write back to back pages.
They seem great
I've tried a lot of these, and they're rather heavy for my grip. I like the pentel P203
I have the Pentel GraphiteGear 500 in .5 which I like using for finer drawings with a softer lead, but my main drafting pencil is the Lamy Safari, very light weight with a .7 lead, solid plastic, the barrel and trigrip is the same as its main counter part which is a fountain pen (which I use one as my work horse), and comes with a dejammer.
I got a platinum pro use 07 from you a while back and it finally ran out of led what type of lead from which brand was originally put in because I added standard HB led and it did not work as well.
The drafting mechanical pencil 2 from a Japanese manufacturer called CraftA is not well known, but it is
very good products
Oh my god I want all of them
What is the difference between zebra delguard and these drafting pencils ? Are differences really that big ? because I use the zebra delguard for my art for now and idk whether should I go fot a drafting pencil or not
Pilot S3 is my favorite.
I really don’t like the retracting mechanisms. I’ve had one break on me right out of the package and it’s scared me away from them since. Besides, I usually keep mine in a good case, so they don’t get damaged anyway. That said, pentel makes a pencil called a graphlet which seems to be comparable to the graphgear here and it’s basically my favorite pencil I’ve ever gotten. Very sturdy and a nice grip!
Yeah I don't like the retractable sleeves, I've never had a sleeve break on me and also the retractable sleeve mechanism tends to have a slight looseness or wiggle to it which drives me insane when using it.
My favourite drafting pencil in this video!!! Is PLATINUM PRO -USE 171 !!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm very interested in the notebook case of 4:28, where I can find one of that?
I got a Rotring 0.5 mm drafting pencil. Best 20 bucks I spent on one.
What brand of 0.5 mechanical pencil should I get if I'm a beginner? Thanks
I bent many .3mm, .5mm and .7mm by accident drop in past 30 years ago. Cost about $7 each which expensive that years, but right now like above $10 each.
I want to collect that pencils again someday.
My uncle’s wife works on a ferry. She’s a first mate and because of that she has a lot of writing to do. This’d be great for her. Yes, drafting pencils come in different colours, including pink!
Lighting is spot on
Kuru toga? That sharpens itself!
They have a different video for mechanical pencils... Apparently a drafting pencil is a different category :)
I've tried a bunch of drafting pencils-from expensive to cheap. I always come back to the Pentel P205. It's sturdy, reliable and has perfect balance. The more expensive pencils tend to be too heavy for my tastes-I just love these Pentels.
Please make a ruler video. those looked sweet
Thanks for your suggestion!
Me before watching (putting down my Pentel P205): "Aha, this could be interesting".
Me after watching: picking up my P205 and continue drawing.
I love my faber castell grip 2011
I like my weighted Muji one hehe
I got my pentel graphgear 1000 yesterday
Review??? should I buy it??
@@Bunny-zf8tw , it’s a nice pencil and I am still using it. The lead sleeve is delicate and can bend if the pencil falls down so you have to be careful with it.
I've been drafting all my life, now CAD. Still, I couldn't resist getting a good drafting pencil a few months ago. Being the complete nerd I am, I bought the Rotring 800 (in black, brass accents) because I could retract the tip. Costly, but also a career celebration in a way.
I use that one to draw hentai in my patreon. Its pretty good
@@themordeo1098 lol
i dont know how many times i have watch this video
The Rotoring Rapid Pro is £25 but I suppose that's not too bad considering what is is used for
from where I can get like this kind of pen and penils which you show in your vedios
GraphGear is my favorite one since junior high
Is it possible to retract/expose the tip of the Ohto Super Promecha 1500P by pressing the button that is also used to extend the lead? Or the only way is to twist the grip?
Yes, the twisting is just to customize how much of the lead sleeve you want shown.
The item at 3:00 is in Last Chance
Gotta have one or two
Can you do a video on best leadholders?
Thanks for your suggestion! We'll be releasing a video on Lead Holders next month. In the meantime, we have a guide on the Best Lead Holders here: www.jetpens.com/blog/the-best-lead-holders/pt/740
I love pilot s3.
Too any artists out there, the Platinum Pro-Use II is an amazing pencil. It is without a doubt the most comfortable pencil I've ever used for long drawing sessions. It somehow manages to feel as sturdy as a Rotring 600, yet manages to be a fraction of its weight. It's also one of the few pencils that remains comfortable when holding it in different positions (higher up for sketching, closer to the tip for details). Absolute must for those who love to sketch.
Can we use platinum pro use ll for writing work?
the muji lead pencil is good
How many types of shaker pencils are there and how many are there
