Experiencing that dreaded hand fatigue after writing? Pilot Pen has a remedy — Dr Grip. Say farewell to writing discomfort and welcome an effortless writing experience with Pilot The Dr Grip and Pilot Dr Grip Classic Mechanical Pencils, now available in 0.3mm and limited-edition barrel colours in 0.5mm.

Dedicated to creating writing instruments that provide users with a comfortable writing experience, Pilot Pen introduced its Dr Grip series in 1991. The Dr Grip Mechanical Pencil range transcends the ordinary pencil, boasting multiple ergonomic features that earned it the ‘Ease-of-Use’ Commendation by the Arthritis Foundation.

The pencils are designed with a double-layered grip section, with the outer layer providing firmness and the inner layer delivering a soft touch, ensuring a comfortable grip and support. All Dr Grip writing tools feature a weighted tip, enabling effortless writing with minimal pressure. Furthermore, their barrels are designed with weight optimisation in mind, strategically distributing more weight at the center to guarantee a pleasant and well-balanced writing experience, even during extended use.

What distinguishes the Dr Grip Mechanical Pencils from its competitors is the Pilot Fure Fure (“Shake Shake” in Japanese) Shaker Mechanism, which incorporates an internal mechanism that advances the lead using a metal weight, allowing users to effortlessly extend it by simply shaking their pencil up and down. Alternatively, users can also extend the lead by pressing the clicker too.

Both mechanical pencils also feature an eyelet clip, offering a personalisation option for stationery enthusiasts to attach their preferred charms and make the writing instrument uniquely their own.

For more advanced features, you can opt for Pilot The Dr Grip, an elevated version of Pilot’s standard Dr Grip mechanical pencils. Cleverly equipped with a silent mechanism, users can now shake your mechanical pencils freely without disrupting the peace wherever they are working or studying. Thanks to this innovative design, noise levels are reduced significantly by 50% as compared to conventional shaker pencils. Additionally, The Dr Grip has an inventive flexible lock mechanism which reduces the chances of the pencil lead extending unintentionally. This mechanism helps avoid any accidental mess when the pencil is tucked away safely in your pencil cases or pockets.

Available in the new 0.3mm nib in a metallic barrel featuring three colours ‘Black’, ‘Gunmetal’ and ‘Orange’, these make for the perfect writing companion, especially for those who appreciate a sleek look with their stationery. For fans of pastel colours, the 0.5mm in limited-edition colours of “Beige’, ‘Beige Green’ and ‘Beige Pink’ are the perfect choice for you.

Though the Pilot Dr Grip Classic appears sleek and understated, do not be fooled by its simplicity. As a thoughtfully designed, no-frills, mechanical pencil, its features prioritise comfort and a pleasant writing experience for users of all ages. Available in six soothing colours, including the new 0.3mm nib options in ‘Black’, ‘Clear Beige’ and ‘Non-Colour’ along with the limited-edition hues ‘Navy’, ‘Purple x Pink’ and ‘Emerald x Blue’ for the 0.5mm nib, these pens are your ‘prescription’ to comfort writing.
