The Nicpro MP1000 kit is a robust collection for art students and hobbyists who need a variety of tools for sketching and technical drawing. The mechanical pencils in this set feature full-metal bodies, likely made of a durable aluminum alloy, which shifts the weight toward the knurled grip for better control. Specifications include a range from 0.5mm for fine lines to 2.0mm for broad strokes, all utilizing 3-jaw brass clutches for reliable lead retention.
The 58-piece kit is organized in a synthetic leather case, which serves as a convenient logistical container for the pencils, lead refills, and accessories. Along with the pencils, the set includes technical micron pens with pigment-based ink for outlining and a 100gsm sketchbook. This assortment is designed to give users a wide range of shading depths, with 30 tubes of lead refills provided in various hardness grades.
The metal barrels are built to handle daily use in a studio or classroom setting. To protect the technical pens and pencils, the case features elastic retention loops to keep everything in its place during transport. For users who do a lot of shading, the 2.0mm lead holders include an integrated sharpener in the cap to keep the point exactly where you want it.
For a simpler set that focuses on bulk pencils without the technical pens and sketchbook, the BIC Xtra-Smooth 24-count Pack is a budget-friendly option for general writing.
