When do you need a mechanical pencil?
A mechanical pencil is ideal when you want to draw consistently thin lines without having to keep sharpening your pencil. This Bic Criterium mechanical pencil is perfect for technical drawing, taking notes, mathematical calculations or detailed work where precision matters. The 0.5 mm size provides a fine line width that suits most writing and drawing tasks.

Why 0.5 mm and HB hardness?
The 0.5 mm lead diameter offers the ideal balance between fineness and lead durability. You get sufficient control for detailed work, while the lead is strong enough for daily use. HB hardness is the standard choice that strikes a good balance between dark lines and minimal smudging, making it universally usable.

Practical features for everyday use
This mechanical pencil has a ribbed grip zone that provides extra grip while writing, even during prolonged use. The rotating eraser at the back makes it possible to make small corrections straight away. The protective cap shields the eraser from contamination, and the metal clip lets you attach the pencil securely to your pocket or notepad.

Practical tip for optimal use
The pencil comes supplied with 3 spare leads, so you can get started straight away. Store the spare leads in a dry place and make sure you do not extend the lead tip too far, to prevent breakage. By occasionally rotating the lead forward, you maintain optimal writing performance.
