Review: solid pencil - fantastic grip came with good lead (i prefer softer lead so it was great) eraser is great too Review: Accurate and Reliable for Woodworking Mark-Up - I’ve been using the Faber-Castell 0.5mm mechanical pencil with HB lead for woodworking, mainly to mark out accurate cuts, and it’s been spot on. The fine point gives a clean, precise line which is ideal when working to tight measurements. It’s comfortable to hold for longer sessions, doesn’t smudge easily, and the built-in eraser is handy for quick corrections. The HB lead strikes a good balance — dark enough to see, but not so soft that it wears down constantly. A solid choice if you want accuracy without sharpening. Would happily buy again. ## Features - sliding guide tube - protected from breakage thanks to cushioned lead - retractable 0.5mm lead - with integrated eraser - ergonomic grip zone for tireless writing ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07N47YLVB | | Age Range Description | Child,Adult | | Best Sellers Rank | 1,092 in Stationery & Office Supplies ( See Top 100 in Stationery & Office Supplies ) 5 in Mechanical Pencils | | Body Shape | Cylindrical | | Brand Name | Faber-Castell | | Closure Type | Retractable | | Colour | black | | Country Of Origin | Germany | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (6,245) | | Drill Point | Lead | | Global Trade Identification Number | 06933256639929 | | Grip Type | Ergonomic grip | | Hardness | B | | Included Components | Rotating eraser, retractable tip | | Ink Base | Pigment | | Ink Colour | Black | | Is the Product Left or Right Handed? | Ambidextrous | | Item Diameter | 17 Millimetres | | Item Dimensions | 14 x 1.7 x 1.7 centimetres | | Item Type Name | Faber-Castell Apollo 232504 Mechanical Pencil Lead 0.5 mm Black Pack of 1 | | Item Weight | 17 Grams | | Manufacturer | Faber-Castell | | Material Type | Plastic | | Model Name | Faber-Castell 232504 | | Model Number | 10132369 | | Product Warranty | No | | Recommended Uses For Product | Drawing, Sketching, Writing | | Special Features | Retractable | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Water Resistance Level | Not Water Resistant | | Writing Instrument Form | Mechanical Graphite Pencil | ## Product Details - **Age range (description):** Child,Adult - **Brand:** Faber-Castell - **Colour:** black - **Ink colour:** Black - **Material:** Plastic - **Model name:** Faber-Castell 232504 - **Point type:** Lead - **Special feature:** Retractable - **Unit count:** 1.0 Count - **Writing instrument form:** Mechanical Graphite Pencil ## Images ![Apollo 0.5mm Mechanical Pencil - Black - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/6119+2qo0NL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color, Style** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ solid pencil *by A***R on 20 February 2026* fantastic grip came with good lead (i prefer softer lead so it was great) eraser is great too ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Accurate and Reliable for Woodworking Mark-Up *by T***3 on 14 May 2025* I’ve been using the Faber-Castell 0.5mm mechanical pencil with HB lead for woodworking, mainly to mark out accurate cuts, and it’s been spot on.
