Bought this pencil with the 12" T-Rule and Bend Rules. Having spent much of my working life as a Design Draughtsman, this type of pencil really is a great improvement over the older types that need constant sharpening. The Incra version is quite inexpensive compared to other brands of this type and different grades of hardness of 0.5mm leads can be obtained from some art shops, although even with say, a 6H lead, it is not good for using as a scriber. Needs a light touch, I always preferred the softer leads (B, 2B) in my work, as you need less pressure and leaves no indent in the working material, but that is a personal choice as the soft grades are somewhat weaker. High visibility colour is a bonus amongst the clutter.
It’s a mechanical pencil and works well with Incra rules. I replaced the lead with 2H which isn’t as dark as the lead supplied but i don’t break it so much.
These pencils are a perfect addition to the incra t-rules that I purchased. They have good quality leads in them which are not too dark. A little more darker leads would suit me, but thats only my personal opinion.
