Pilot Progrex Mechanical Pencil, 0.5 mm, BeGreen Recycled, Sliding Sleeve, Refillable, Ideal for Technical Writing & Drawing, Black - Pack of 12

The sliding sleeve guides the lead during writing and drawing, helping support the lead tip to reduce breakage when you apply pressure. This is especially helpful with 0.5 mm lead, which is more prone to bending under stress.

Specifications: 0.5 mm lead size; sliding sleeve; retractable tip; refillable; ergonomic textured grip; BeGreen recycled-plastic construction; color: black; pack size: 12 pencils.

To refill, open the front tip area to access the lead chamber, insert standard 0.5 mm lead refills until seated, reassemble the pencil, and then gently press to advance the lead. Use the appropriate lead size and avoid forcing leads that don’t fit.

The pencil features an ergonomic, textured grip designed to reduce hand fatigue and provide a secure hold during extended writing or drafting tasks.

Yes, it has a retractable tip. When not in use, retract the tip into the barrel using the built-in mechanism to protect the lead and prevent damage during transport.

Ideal for technical drawing, architectural planning, drafting, engineering notes, and bulk classroom provisioning thanks to its precise 0.5 mm lead, sliding-sleeve protection, and comfortable grip.

Keep the slider and sleeve clean, use standard 0.5 mm leads, avoid dropping or applying excessive pressure on the tip, and store with the sleeve closed to protect the lead tip when not in use.

BeGreen construction uses recycled plastics, reducing environmental impact while delivering a durable, value-oriented writing instrument. It’s designed for bulk use without compromising performance.

Compared to the Pilot Dr. Grip 0.5 mm, Progrex emphasizes a sliding-sleeve protection system and BeGreen recycled body, which supports sustainability and tip protection, while Dr. Grip focuses on comfort with a softer grip for long sessions.
