is this really 0.6mm thin? thats around the size of mechanical pencil lead.

Hi Mark, thickness of the lip is actually 1.5mm and the thickness of the ring is 1.0 mm. Sincerely, Sheila

Yes this is correct. The steel is 0.6mm thick. The difference is that you are looking at a small pencil lead whereas this is sheet metal. It is not as thin as you may be thinking.

I measured a strip with my mm ruler and it would be very close to 3mm, only a slight bit more if any!

The .5mm is designed to work with the appropriate size of the orifice to which the lead fed, hence any other size will not work. I wasn't aware that there was a .3 mm lead available. I've used .5, .7 and .9 mm.

Yes, if functioning correctly the correct sized lead can be fed into the tube once the eraser is removed. It is un-advisable to feed the 5mm and 7mm respectively into the tip, they would tend to break given their thinness.

Fairly minimally. I can't get my hands on a ruler, but I'd estimate it around 1/4 inch thicker. - Studio Arts Major

Yes, they are about a third of the size of a standard pencil. They are also thicker and triangular to prevent rolling.

Yes, Lance. You click on the tip and the lead will come out. The only difference involving the clicking from traditional mechanical pencils is that the lead comes out in smaller increments so that the amount you want is more precise so you may have to click a couple of times.

It's very thin. Maybe a half inch. I just bought one at Walmart for $89. So, don't buy it here.

It came with one piece of lead in it, presumably No 2, with no mentioned brand. If you're wondering what type of lead to use, any type of 0.5 mm will do.

A .5mm Mechanical is perfect. You may find that it becomes your favorite pencil. It is always sharp. It makes a very thin, and consequently accurate, line. They are very common and can be found, along with lead refills, at WalMart and other such vendors.

Mine measures exactly five inches, or one inch shorter than a standard mechanical pencil.

0.6mm is about 0.023622". I would think a pair of tin snips would be more suitable.

it is round about the same size as the regular pencil maybe just a wee bit bigger and just half the length.

Not too sure why it says that, any 2mm lead works in it, I have leads from several different manufactures and they all work fine.

Not noticably. Maybe like a mm or 2. Just the thickness of the thing. Don't worry about it. I have had it for almost a year and no complains here.

Each pencil is a different size lead. One is 0.3mm, one is 0.5mm and one is 0.7mm

You are correct. The item is NOT 8mm thick, as falsely described in the item listing. I don't have a device for measuring nils, so I cannot confirm the exact thickness, but it is very thin.
