thank you!
Hey Patrick, didn’t see a dedicated post for the Pentel Accugraph video you’d done, and it’s not here either, so linking it:
This is such a terrific resource! I really don’t think anyone else has covered Pentel’s Accugraph line this well. If you’ve been in touch with Pentel at any previous point, you should share this with them. I think there are still people at Pentel that appreciate the company’s past premium writing instruments.
I’m finally getting a PG2003, partly inspired by this video review. I’ve got two of the PG1505, one with lead indicator and one without.
I hadn’t been using the PG1505 very much, simply because it’s not travel friendly without a sleeve or case (the anodized coating on the body tube has a tendency to chip). I’d forgotten… how fantastic these are. Pick up a P205 or PG5 and then a PG1505… and you’ll notice the difference immediately. Not just the solid metal build but… the mechanism. That click… is so “surgical grade precise.” The sound and feel. The click is attenuated just right. There’s nothing “tinny” about it at all. The click pressure required is excellent too – not too firm, not too loose. It really feels like this would be the tool of choice for an architect, draftsman, engineer, scientist, or any profession requiring a mechanical pencil. The Mechanica (MEC, MEC2-5) comes very close, same feel, but the click noise is louder (anecdotal recollection) and it’s a lighter pencil. And of course, the Mechanica is a super sought-after pencil so you’ll pay a lot more for one in comparable condition to a PG1505.
The PG2003 I picked out was after a long wait… as I was undecided about going with lead indicator or not. I chose the one without the lead indicator, the “1st release” (the actual very first had a black colored cap sleeve). I like the simpler aesthetics. Also, the colored end cap sleeve of the 3rd release bugs me–just clashes too much with the body.

I love the channel, one of your videos is what actually inspired me to get the ohto piston. It really is indispensable as your in depth covrage of vintage pencil history and mechanisms is rarely seen anywhere in this format.
p.s. where did you get the tiny holding tools?

@cytherian Gary, thank you so much for the kind words and encouragement. It makes me want to make more videos.
I’m really glad you found some use out of the video, it makes it all worthwhile. 
Your right about the Accugraph - it’s one of my favorites without a doubt.

@Neroaddict thank you Vadim - I am really happy to hear that you like my channel.
How do you like the Piston?
That holder thing is something I used to use when handling small electronic parts. Here’s something similar

Its function is actually pretty useful unlike most gimmicks, i also live the translucent colord plastic barrel!
Thanks for the link
