Zebra Drafix mechanical pencil review

The Zebra Drafix is a mechanical pencil available in 0.3, 0.5, 0.7 and 0.9mm versions. Each size has a different coloured ring – this 0.5mm version has a red ring, as you can perhaps tell.

This Zebra Drafix ticks all the right boxes: low cost; eraser; long fine lead sleeve; grade indicator; size indicator; and metal clip.

However.

The plastic feels completely cheap and horrible. This is a very cheap pencil but, honestly, it felt so bad I never ever wanted to pick this pencil up to use.

There are few other pencils in this price range that tick this number of boxes but I would suggest you either spend a little more or settle for fewer features and get something that is good to hold and write with.

Many thanks to Cult Pens for sponsoring this post. I tried not to let their generosity influence my views. (I think you can tell that they didn’t.) You can buy this pencil direct from Cult Pens here.
