Oil-based ballpoint pen. Ball diameter: 0.7mm . Ink: oil dye Review: Excellent MINI Mechanical Pencil, Great for Paint Palette or Pocket Sketch book - Bought one to "try it out" to see if it would be good in my small paint palette. As this pencil is made of stainless steel and the inner workings are plastic and brass, moisture should not be a problem with it. It fits perfectly in a standard 12 half pan metal palette (6 over 6) with a travel brush inside as well. What I wanted it for was for something even smaller though and by just taking off the cap (leaving the eraser intact) it fits inside my Mini palette at only 3 19/32" long. As you can see in the photo my Mini Palette holds 15 half pans but in a 5 wide by 3 high configuration which does not leave a lot of room (I even shortened the Meeden Travel Brush by about 3/8" so it would fit in the Mini Palette (it is not necessary to shorten either if using a normal 12 pan palette with a 6 half pan wide over 6 configuration). It is great to have a mechanical pencil in my palette so I don't need to sharpen it like a wood pencil. You can leave off the cap IF needed but then you will need to push on the eraser to advance the lead (it is possible but a little harder). I just leave it off to reduce the length but keep the cap in the palette just under the pencil and replace it to make using it easier. I have since bought 4 more for other palettes and as a gift. And just to note: I did remove the label on the pencil. I just cut down the length of the label with the blade of a knife held flat against the pencil thereby cutting a strip of the label off. Scraped off a remaining corner with a thumb nail and pulled off the remaining label. I then used the large piece of label to pull off the remaining adhesive by sticking it to adhered residue and pulled and restuck, pulled and restuck, until all of the residue was removed. It took only about 5 minutes to remove all of the adhesive this way. BUT, I will NOT be removing the labels from any of the other pencils as there is useful information on the label: it contains the model number of the pencil and it also has the size of the lead the pencil uses (0.5 mm) AND it has the Zebra customer telephone number on it (though it is in Japan). Still, I regret removing the label as it is well attached and made of clear plastic so will not easily be spoiled by using the pencil. I hope this has been helpful to everyone. Enjoy using this excellent pencil, I know I already am. Review: Mini but mighty - Beautiful item with tiny lead, and rven though it seems overpriced for one itty bitty pencil, it is an elegant solution for daily pencil carry and lovely quality by Zebra as always. ## Features - A slim mini Mechanical Pencil convenient to carry - Lead Size : 0.5mm - It is the best for memo writing to a mini notebook ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0018RF0IQ | | Additional Features | Retractable | | Age Range (Description) | Adult | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Best Sellers Rank | #17,618 in Office Products ( See Top 100 in Office Products ) #143 in Mechanical Pencils | | Body Shape | Round | | Brand | Zebra Pen | | Brand Name | Zebra Pen | | Closure Type | Retractable | | Color | SILVER | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 2,222 Reviews | | Drill Point | Extra Fine | | Global Trade Identification Number | 04901681661107, 04901681661503 | | Hand Orientation | Ambidextrous | | Ink Base | Oil | | Ink Color | Black | | Item Diameter | 5.6 Millimeters | | Item Dimensions | 4 x 0.4 x 0.4 inches | | Item Weight | 22.68 g | | Line Size | 0.5 Millimeters | | Manufacturer | Zebra | | Material | Stainless Steel | | Material Type | Stainless Steel | | Model Name | ts-3 | | Model Number | TS-3 | | Pattern | Single Item | | Style | Mechanical Pencil | | UPC | 791836732103 785525743181 305365026550 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Writing Instrument Form | Mechanical Graphite Pencil | ## Product Details - **Age Range (Description):** Adult - **Brand:** Zebra Pen - **Color:** SILVER - **Ink Color:** Black - **Writing Instrument Form:** Mechanical Graphite Pencil ## Images ![Zebra Mini Mechanical Pencil, 0.5 mm, Silver Body (TS-3) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/510Sj+RbfHL.jpg) ![Zebra Mini Mechanical Pencil, 0.5 mm, Silver Body (TS-3) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51g3VcB-CRL.jpg) ![Zebra Mini Mechanical Pencil, 0.5 mm, Silver Body (TS-3) - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51LRE-8fbwL.jpg) ![Zebra Mini Mechanical Pencil, 0.5 mm, Silver Body (TS-3) - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/615OoPMc+fL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Pattern, Size, Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Is the tip retractable?** A: The lead is retractable. Not the whole tip. The other end is removable to reveal an eraser. You pull the eraser to add leads. **Q: Can you get eraser refills for this mini pencil?** A: Zebra eraser refills size Bhttp://www.jetpens.com/Zebra-Eraser-Refill-Size-B-Pack-of-5/pd/4550 **Q: What is the diameter of the pencil itself? Is the .3 version a different diameter form the .5** A: Just checked and my Zebra Mini pencil takes leads size 0.5mm. The pensil itself is 5mm in diameter. I believe you might be talking about the T3 and T5 options, which as far as I can tell stands for all silver or mix of silver and gold colors. **Q: Do they all have Japan stamped on them?** A: As far as I know they all have Japan stamped on them. This is a common practice with products that are made in Japan. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent MINI Mechanical Pencil, Great for Paint Palette or Pocket Sketch book *by N***B on February 4, 2021* Bought one to "try it out" to see if it would be good in my small paint palette.

It came packaged in a vertical mini ziplocked-style plastic baggie if I recall. There was a barcode stuck onto the pencil, but you can unstick it without a problem regarding sticker residue. I'm a pretty lazy college student, so there are days where I'll wake up 30 minutes late and walk to class with nothing except for my clothes and this pencil in my pocket. It writes smoother than melted butter, and clicks out lead with no problems. Also, I have hands on the smaller side, so this pencil is great if you also have small to average sized hands. If you can pick up a basketball with one hand, this pencil might not be for you. Overall, this pencil basically lives by my side now. Summary Pros and Cons: Pros: - Smooth, metal finish - Comfortable to grip (if you have small/average sized hands) - Surprising sturdy despite its size - Easily fits in pocket - Extremely light and secretive, like feminine products - Just a sleek, amazing mechanical pencil in general Cons: - May have difficulty with this pen if you have large hands - The tip is a bit pointy, so if you put it into your pocket, still be careful Thank you for reading! ## Frequently Bought Together - Zebra Mini Mechanical Pencil, 0.5 mm, Silver Body (TS-3) - Zebra Mini Ballpoint Pen 0.7 mm, Silver Body, Black Ink (T-3) - Pilot Mini Mechanical Pencil Birdy, 0.5mm, Silver (HS-40S) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sk/products/7853858-zebra-mini-mechanical-pencil-0-5-mm-silver-body-ts](https://www.desertcart.sk/products/7853858-zebra-mini-mechanical-pencil-0-5-mm-silver-body-ts) --- *Product available on Desertcart Slovakia* *Store origin: SK* *Last updated: 2026-05-24*
