Product Information

A wood pencil is one of the first things most people learn to write with as they grow up, but because they break easily, regular pencils don't feature that often in people's everyday carry. I use my trusty mechanical pencil whenever I need a pencil in my EDC. They all have a small metal tube around the lead opening. This works well for running the pencil along a straight edge for very accurate drawings.

when I need to. I like the fact that I can get a super fine line and keep it razor sharp all the time without having to stop and sharpen again. I have dropped mine a few times over the years Blistercard containing 1 mechanical pencil, line width 0.5 mm in assorted barrel colours and 1 Mars micro carbon 250 05-HBIn the table below, we list the advantages and disadvantages to using mechanical pencils instead of wooden pencils or pens: Advantages of Mechanical Pencils versus Wooden Pencils Because of its short size standard length refill leads will need the ends snapped off to take them from 120mm down to 90mm, which is very easy to do.

Students might use them to sketch in art class or work through math formulas, while professionals might draft floorplans or take notes during meetings. Whatever the case, an excellent mechanical pencil can be a great way to round out your carry. In this guide, we've put together some of the best mechanical pencils you can find that would make a perfect addition to any EDC setup. What’s more, the built in eraser can be extracted by twisting the top of the pencil. Other features on this mechanical pencil include a retractable tip, metal clip, and an attractive soft blue casing. Pros

The mechanical pencils (a clutch pencil that contains a delicate lead) don’t need sharpening. The other sizes may be sharpened or not, as needed. Holds up to 12 pencil leads in one go = the total contents of a typical STAEDTLER lead tube, allowing you to work longer without refilling Crucially, the pencil itself stays the same length, unlike wooden pencils which get shorter as you sharpen them (even with one of the best pencil sharpeners). And because replacement leads are cheap it saves you money over time, because you won't have to buy new pencils. However, if your mechanical pencil has an eraser on the end, just may have to remove the eraser and the refill chamber will be underneath it. Don't automatically assume this is the case, though! The eraser may be glued to the barrel, in which case you would use the first method. In the case of the STAEDTLER Mars micro carbon 255 lead tube, individual leads are refilled one at a time by means of a push-button mechanism. Special feature: The refill process is designed for single-handed use.There are four hardness of Faber Castell 2mm lead available: graphite 3B, 2B, B and HB. The leads are 125mm long and come as 10 in a superb storage box. Each individual lead is stamped with the hardness rating. Lastly, all mechanical pencils come with a fixed lead guidance sleeve and a retractable mechanism that controls how much lead is released or retracted. Knowing the diameter the pencil can hold is vital to avoid buying larger or smaller lead refills. Comfort
