How is the line thickness compared to a line from a .5mm mechanical pencil?

If you want fine lines I would go with the Ultra Fine version of this product. After break-in a find this to be a little thick for my tastes, although the paper I use does tend to bleed a bit.

Considering that it is ink, even writing with a light touch on the pen the line thickness is still thicker than a 0.9 mm mechanical pencil. I just tested it. The line thickness is similar to a .5 or .7mm gel pen at regular writing speed.

Depends on how much pressure. If I use it lightly it's like as thick as .7mm lead but you can make it narrower. It can be much thicker too if you go slow and/or use good pressure

I believe it is the diameter of the pen tip. A 0.05 tip will be narrower and a 0.07 tip will be a thicker tip. :)

0.5 will not work. The 1.3 mm lead is fatter and not too hard to come by. The eraser on these things is terrible though. If you need a thicker stronger lead these are good and I would buy them again but I also keep a seperate eraser.

What size lead? ... That small 0.5mm Pentel pencil type lead seems to work fine.

Despite the "Thin-Tip High Precision" line in the description, the tip appears to be the same size as the regular-length stylus. I'd say it's about the diameter of a pencil eraser - perhaps 3/16" in dia - but rounded into a perfect hemisphere. I'd had no problems hitting some pretty small spots on the screen however so I'm not sure what a "high-precision" tip would offer. Either way it's certainly smaller than the end of my finger!More found on web:Compared with regular capacitive stylus tips, The Friendly Swede thin tip is more narrow BUT not to be confused with fine point stylus tip!The Friendly Swede thin tip radius - 0.12 inch Regular capacitive stylus tips - 0.20 inch Despite the "Thin-Tip High Precision" line in the description, the tip appears to be the same size as the regular-length stylus.

If you press the pen hard, it creates a Sharpie marker thick, but if you write lightly it creates almost pencil thin lines.

You would need to use a mechanical pencil of lead sized 0.5mm or less. Anything bigger or the normal (non-mechanical) pencils are too big.

It's hard to say exactly, but it is a good thickness for making cards and cutting dies. I use it a lot and like it.

This Sharpie is more like a .05 Sharpie. You can use less pressure to get a thinner line. My .01 Micron is not as thick as this Fine point Sharpie. The tip is not as big as a .05 Micron but more than a .01 Sharpie. I think you'd like it.

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 is thinner than 1 mm. It cuts easily to fit with scissors, but is extremely strong. Great product

It's a decent thickness. I bought pins longer than normal push pins for it & they go in pretty far. Although, I gave it as a gift with a map adhered to it so I'm going from memory.

The tip on this is very fine; however I would say it is probably slightly thicker than a ball point pen. You could probably achieve that thickness if you use the pen very lightly with small strokes.

I just drew a line on a piece of paper; without bearing down. The line I created with a new pen is quite thin. Slightly less than 1mm in width.

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

I like the 1.5mm. It doesn't seem like you need more than to just prick the surface of your skin. If you have deep wrinkles or laugh line then longer may be more helpful.

There's a "slider" to adjust the thickness of the cut -- but not a huge difference between the three. The two thinnest I'd call "paper thin". The thickest cuts about 1/32" of an inch thick - perfect for carrot "coins".
