Which Pentel GraphGear is the best?
Pentel make some wonderful mechanical pencils. The Twist uses the best eraser mechanism there is, the P200 series is one of the best budget pencils and the Graph 1000 has been my top pick for quite some time.
Which is better Pentel GraphGear 500 or 1000?
The Pentel GraphGear 1000 differs from the Pentel GraphGear 500 in a few key ways. Both have a metal grip, but the GraphGear 1000 is heavier and has a retractable lead. This is useful if you often carry your pencil in your pocket and do not want to damage the pencil tip or your clothing.

What is the most darkest pencil?

What is the softest Pentel lead?
9B
2B, 3B and 4B are increasingly soft. Further up the range, 9B is the very softest lead available, but so soft and crumbly that it’s rarely used. Anything over 4B is probably too soft for most people’s day-to-day use.
Is the GraphGear 1000 worth it?
It’s too soon to say whether this is the most comfortable mechanical pencil I’ve ever used, but it comes close without a doubt. For the same $15-18 you can instead buy several dozen wood pencils or quite a few plastic-bodied mechanical pencils, but in my opinion the GraphGear 1000 is well worth it.
Which pencils graphite is the hardest?
B9 is the softest and darkest. 9H is the lightest and hardest graphite pencil. So a B6 is softer and darker than a B2. An 6H is harder and lighter than a 2H and much harder and lighter than a HB or a B pencil.
