Title: Might Not Pronounce It, But I Sure Can Praise It: The LEUCHTTURM1917 Drehgriffel Mechanical Pencil
Review: The LEUCHTTURM1917 Drehgriffel Mechanical Pencil is as challenging to pronounce as it is easy to love. Despite my tongue-twisting attempts with its name, the 'Drehgriffel' (which I've fondly nicknamed "Dre") has quickly become my favorite writing tool. Here's why this pencil is much more than just a mouthful.First off, the quality of the Drehgriffel is unmistakably high. It boasts a sleek, minimalist design typical of LEUCHTTURM1917, finished in a vibrant 'Rising Sun' orange that's as bold as it is beautiful. The body is robust, hinting at the durability that has become synonymous with the brand. I've dropped it more times than I'd care to admit, and not only does it remain unscathed, but it also continues to function flawlessly.The grip is another high point. It's designed to be comfortable for long periods of writing without causing fatigue, which has been a game changer during my long drafting sessions. The balance between the lightweight feel and the sturdy build makes it a delight to use. The 0.7 mm HB graphite lead that comes with it offers a smooth writing experience—perfect for both sketching and note-taking, delivering clear, crisp lines without any breakage.When it comes to ease of writing and comfort, the Drehgriffel scores top marks. The refillable lead mechanism is straightforward and reliable, ensuring that I'm never distracted by maintenance woes during my creative or work-related endeavors. It's the kind of pencil that boosts your productivity simply by being such a pleasure to use.Value for money is another significant aspect. Yes, it may be priced a tad above your average mechanical pencil, but the superior writing experience, combined with its durability and the brand's prestigious heritage, makes it a worthwhile investment. This isn't just a tool; it's a partner in the writing process, reliable and ready for years of service.In conclusion, while the LEUCHTTURM1917 Drehgriffel Mechanical Pencil might twist your tongue trying to say it, it won't twist your hand while using it. From its stylish aesthetics to its impeccable performance, it stands out as a top-tier choice for anyone serious about their writing instruments. It’s a sunrise on my desk every time I pick it up—bright, dependable, and full of potential

Title: Great Quality Pencil
Review: I don’t do reviews very often, but after using this pencil for a few days now, I had to. It’s absolutely incredible! The weight of the pencil is perfect. Not too heavy, not too light. It feels great in the hand. Its mechanism is clean sounding and functions well. It’s also just incredibly good looking. By far the best mechanical pencil I’ve used to date. My one complaint is that it doesn’t have an eraser. But I got a pink eraser to carry around and I’m all good!Great pen. It’s worth the price for sure.

Title: Nice Pencil - if you want .5mm simply swap the internal mechanism for Schmidt DSM 2006 .5mm
Review: Great pencil (yes it is on the more expensive side, but it is well made, easy to hold and use, and the twist mechanism works well). I did not see this offered in a .5mm lead size which I prefer. I only could find it offered in the .7mm size. Hopefully, therefore, this might help others if you prefer another lead size. I went ahead and ordered it, and fortunately, upon receipt and opening it up, the internal pencil mechanism itself is just a Schmidt DSM 2006. Therefore it was simply a matter of ordering one of those separately (example: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01LXAEYJN?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details) in a .5mm lead size and unscrewing the .7mm insert and replacing it with the .5mm insert. As others have pointed out, this does not come with a built-in eraser. Overall it is a very nice mechanical pencil, and when paired with the corresponding ballpoint pen, it makes a nice overall set.

Title: it’s cute, but not $30 cute
Review: This pencil is a great size, super pretty, and very comfortable to use. However, the lead quality (it’s fine) and lack of eraser make it a bit frustrating given how much you pay for it. I’m a professional illustrator, and I’ve been looking for some fun pencils to get back into traditional drawing. This one is fun and feels nice, but I think $30 is a bit much given what you get. If it were metal or had a higher quality lead or a great eraser then maybe I’d get the price, but as is I’d say it should be closer to $20 to be worth it. Fun tho and nice color options!

Title: Very nice.
Review: I was looking for something with a thicker lead. This pencil caught my eye. As you can see I got the yellow.It is built sturdy and metal. Holds maybe eight leads. I’m not disappointed. It’s hefty and feels good in the hand but not too heavy to be fatiguing.They are a little expensive but one day I’ll buy the sage green. Such a nice pencil. I bought 90 more leads for about $5.

Title: Hands down the best pencil I've bought!
Review: Seriously, this exceeded my expectations. I'm (admittedly) very picky when it comes to my art supplies, but this is super high quality. It has a nice weight, the lead draws smooth and is of good quality. For me, I personally don't care that it doesn't have an eraser because I have some nice rubber ones that are great, and actually hate it when mechanical pencils have erasers. My only complaint is that it doesn't come with lead refills, you have to buy those yourself, but I found some. All in all, it's a great pencil!

Review: I've used many mechanical pencils, this is hands down the best.It acts mechanically just like if you imagine a normal mechanical pencil where you push the tip down to extend the lead a bit, then press and hold to push the led back in. This is the exact same but you twist the tip instead of pushing it.Where this pencil shines is in the look and feel, plus it handles multiple leads inside the pencil flawlessly, it can take more lead than a normal mechanical pencil, which means it basically lasts forever before you have to change it.You can tell every bit of this was masterfully engineered

Review: Ich schreibe sonst eher selten Bewertungen, aber nach so einem Druckbleistift suche ich schon seit Ewigkeiten. Ich kannte diese Firma bisher leider nicht. Aber zurück zum Stift. Einfaches Design, super Handhabung ohne SchnickSchnack. Aber dennoch hochwertige Verarbeitung. Genauso muss das sein. Ich hab bei anderen Druckbleistiften immer das Problem, dass ich aufgrund meiner Einschränkungen früher oder später anfange die Clips abzubrechen oder die Radiergummi kaputt mache. Und normale Bleistifte werden angeknabbert. Sowas gibts hier alles nicht. Einfach PERFEKT. Ich kauf mir sicher noch 1-2 mehr damit ich sowohl zu Hause als auch auf der Arbeit und im Auto immer einen Griffel dabei haben kann
