These 4 or 5-star reviews represent the opinions of the individuals who posted them and do not reflect the views of Etsy. If you need to take your lead pointer on the go and have nothing but your pockets, this Ohto lead sharpener is the perfect choice.

Designed to look like a traditional pencil, it's made of smooth-coated wood and has a large pink eraser on top. If you're looking for a pencil with a larger barrel but still want to use 2 mm lead, consider the Ohto Wooden Mechanical Pencil Lead Holder. When you need to sharpen your lead, just remove the top button to use the lead pointer inside of it. The bigger sizes are better for more coverage over a large area and also offer more line-width variation. Most brands sell highlighter refills for their clutch pencils in addition to standard graphite, and Kaweco highlighter refills are sold in packs of three.Unless specified, offers and vouchers are not valid on products which are already discounted from RRP, gift vouchers, books and from the I LOVE ART range. The ratings/reviews displayed here may not be representative of every listing on this page, or of every review for these listings. There is a lead pointer in the knob which is accessed by un-screwing the end cap, gently tap out any excess lead dust after pointing. Those intended strictly for drawing and drafting tend to be heavier, and often feature metal knurling on the grip that some find uncomfortable when writing for longer sessions. I have both the standard matte black Fixpencil with a black, red, or blue button, as well as the Fixpencil 884 or “JR”, which is the same size and comes in blue, red, and green.

This Koh-I-Noor lead holder is both short and slim, making it easy to slip into a bag without taking up too much room. From this famous Viennese company, makers of the first pencil, it's an excellent drawing instrument, the plastic barrel carefully weighted to provide control and the spring-loaded lead emerging from strong metal jaws at the push of a button on the end of the barrel. For a demonstration of how the clutch mechanism works, and how to sharpen using the cap, I thought it would be easier to do short videos, which I’ve linked to here. This, along with the sturdy metal construction of said tip (and it's textured grip) all come together to ensure a solid, reliable lead tip every single time. The pencil comes in various wood grains, including pear, mahogany, black walnut, ebony, and amaranth.

Long story short, I haven't been monitoring Kickstarter as closely as I should have, and I would've missed the Sostanza clutch pencil entirely had the folks at Sotteranea Officina Sperimentale, a design studio located in Torino, Italy, not reached out and asked if I wanted to review their new project. The barrel diameter of lead holders is often larger than regular wooden and mechanical pencils because they are made to accommodate tip sizes from 2 mm to 5. Maruzen’s round lead holder comes loaded with a 4B, threee-millimeter lead so you can start creating as soon as it arrives.

i haven't found a lot of good resources online to look through a lot of them, if you know any good ones, please share.Our personalised dog lead holders make the perfect gift for any dog lover or even as a present to your four legged friend! Initially, I worried that the metal ring might make for an uncomfortable grip, but I've not had any issues based on how I hold the pencil.
