You mostly get what you pay for and seeing as how the others are much cheaper, well... You get what you pay for.

Pencils, Part Two
Next up in the review of technical pencils suitable for use with Wild Gears is the Pentel GraphGear 500. This is a step up from the P20x series. It has a metal barrel near the tip that is knurled to provide a better grip. The weight of this barrel shifts the balance point of the pencil to be closer to the tip.
