Its retractable tip design ensures portability and safety, while the smooth, rounded guide pipe glides effortlessly on paper. Ideal for detailed writing, note-taking, and specialized tasks like model making, this pencil combines precision engineering with everyday usability. ## Description The Orenz mechanical pencil features 0.2mm or 0.3mm lead for amazingly thin, clean lines. Moreover the Orenz is not a product for special use such as drawing, it is for general use. It's great for writing notes, math problems, graphs, and more! Despite being so fine, the lead doesn't break as you write, due to the innovative Orenz mechanism. The guide pipe protects the entire length of the lead, and you write without extending the lead out of the guide pipe, which glides along the surface of the paper. Since the guide pipe has rounded edges, it doesn't catch on the paper or scratch it, you can write very smoothly. If the guide pipe becomes very shorter and you become difficult to write, just click the top button only one time. You need not click a few times as you would with other mechanical pencil. The guide pipe will extend again, along with the lead inside. Because there's no lead breakage, your papers remain without smudges from broken lead dust. Also, when you don't use, you can retract the guide pipe so it doesn't poke you or your belongings. Review: Outstanding .2 pencil, but can it compete with .3? - TL;DR: The .2 Orenz is the best pencil for this size lead, but it is still outclassed by the .3 Graphgear 1000 if you like versatile detailing pencils! As a comic artist who works on paper, I value thin pencils VERY highly. I'm happy to say this .2 little pencil is a lot stronger than you'd think. If you know how to use thin lead pencils, you won't have many problems with breaking lead. It also comes with a small wire in the eraser for unjamming the tip! HOWEVER-- The Pentel Orenz .2 pencil has the unfortunate fate that I daily drive a .3 from Pentel's GraphGear 1000 series of pencils. The size difference in lead isn't THAT noticeable between a .2 and .3, in my opinion, so they're in direct competition for me. The lead support system in this Orenz .2 pencil is a metal barrel that slides back into the pencil as you draw. .3 pencils used to be made this way too, and I HATE it. This mechanism doesn't just break lead, it SPLINTERS IT. And splintered lead is what causes jamming. It's painfully easy to bump the metal protector barrel with your paper or your sleeve and not notice the lead has been exposed-- and then it snaps. In comparison, GraphGear 500 and 1000 series pencils have a stationary barrel to support the lead at the tip. The 1000 series even has spring loaded retraction like a pen, to protect the pencil tip and lead when not in use. (500 series can't be retracted, but they are heccin strong tips anyways) Why is a stationary barrel better? Because this allows you to tilt the pencil and create an ultra thin point on your lead. This alone will allow a well made .3 pencil to out-tiny a .2 with a sliding barrel. The .2 Orenz is definitely not a good sketching pencil, it is a detailing pencil! You won't be making any fluid motions with it without gouging your paper on sharp lead, or just breaking the lead. Get this .2 pencil if you want a specialized detailing pencil! If you want something more versatile, get a .3 GraphGear 500 or 1000! Review: Must have for Gunpla model makers! Best for HG/RG 1/144 model kits - Pentel is a Japanse company and they are the one's who make this specialty mechanical pencil. As you can see in my pic it's all in Japanese. Just YouTube watch the 60 second video or just finish reading my review here. This is not your everyday mechanical pencil. That's not saying you couldn't use it as one, that's just me saying that this is a super specific mechanical pencil. Rarely will you find 0.2 mm lead refills in American stores. I haven't honestly been checking since I plan on buying it on desertcart like I do everything else but I trust the other reviewers input about it. I make Gunpla models for a hobby. I have honestly bought every special tool, markers, paints, etc. But when it all comes down to it all I need is a $20 plastic nipper, a tamiya hobby knife with #11 blades, and this Pentel Orenz 0.2mm mechanical pencil. I certainly recommend this to any Gunpla builder out there working on an HG and/or RG grade 1/144 kit. Reason being is that Gundam Panel markers and Tamiya Accent panel lining inks are way too messy for a 1/144 model. The Gundam markers are too thick for the panel lines and a nightmare to clean up and the Tamiya Accent panel lining inks are actually terrible for your kit if you don't clear coat it first before you apply it. It will eat up your parts. (especially the white pieces they are most susceptible) Now that my rant it over the 0.2mm size is perfect for 1/144 and it's super easy to use a hi polymer eraser to clean up the piece if you start to smudge the lead on accident. However, the lead smudging is very minimal with this pencil since the lead shouldn't protrude much or if at all past the barrel. When I got this all I did was clicked it a few times until I saw the lead finally start to come out (maybe 5 clicks) and then all you need to do is use the lead until that lead protection barrel is sucked all the way back in like a phallus and sack on a cold day! That's it! I love it and I'm sure you will to. ## Features - Mechanical Pencil - Core diameter is 0.2mm - Blister Pack - Orenz System Adopted - Body Color : Black ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00IG1QTPU | | Additional Features | Retractable | | Age Range (Description) | Adult | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Best Sellers Rank | #24,556 in Office Products ( See Top 100 in Office Products ) #229 in Mechanical Pencils | | Body Shape | Round | | Brand | Pentel | | Brand Name | Pentel | | Closure Type | Retractable | | Color | Black | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 2,481 Reviews | | Drill Point | Ultra Fine | | Global Trade Identification Number | 04902506305879 | | Grip Type | Smooth | | Hand Orientation | Ambidextrous | | Included Components | guide pipe, eraser refill (Z2-1N), retractable tip | | Ink Base | Water | | Ink Color | Black | | Item Diameter | 0.7 inches | | Item Dimensions | 7.9 x 0.7 x 2 inches | | Item Weight | 18.14 g | | Line Size | 0.2 | | Manufacturer | Pentel | | Material | Plastic | | Material Type | Plastic | | Model Name | XPP502-A | | Model Number | XPP502-A | | Pattern | Single Item | | Recommended Uses For Product | Writing | | Style | 0.2mm | | UPC | 799916030422 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Writing Instrument Form | Mechanical Graphite Pencil | | Writing Technique | pencil lead | ## Product Details - **Age Range (Description):** Adult - **Brand:** Pentel - **Color:** Black - **Ink Color:** Black - **Writing Instrument Form:** Mechanical Graphite Pencil ## Images ![Mechanical Pencil Orenz 0.2mm, Black Body (XPP502-A) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51UGzfdpe2L.jpg) ![Mechanical Pencil Orenz 0.2mm, Black Body (XPP502-A) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71cd7MFpXTL.jpg) ![Mechanical Pencil Orenz 0.2mm, Black Body (XPP502-A) - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/711SHW1wt3L.jpg) ![Mechanical Pencil Orenz 0.2mm, Black Body (XPP502-A) - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/714d078Bb8L.jpg) ![Mechanical Pencil Orenz 0.2mm, Black Body (XPP502-A) - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71nq2MxuYnL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Outstanding .2 pencil, but can it compete with .3? *by M***Y on February 9, 2023* TL;DR: The .2 Orenz is the best pencil for this size lead, but it is still outclassed by the .3 Graphgear 1000 if you like versatile detailing pencils!
