STAEDTLERMars Technico 780C Mechanical Lead holder,clutch Pencil for Draft Drawing, Art Sketching Sharpener (Pack of 5)

From writing, drawing, drafting, to construction, these are the best pencils. I have tried all different kinds of lead holders and I like these the best. The feel is good and lead writes really well!

I’ve tried other brands, and they seem to break easily. Not these! I use them both for drawing with graphite, and I insert pieces of silver wire that I sharpen into a point, for silver point drawing.

Have used other more expensive brands but these are just as good

Been working with those for years.It's premium quality.

I have tons of thinner lead mechanical pencils - these 2mm pencils are the way to go. I LOVE THEM - USING THEM ALL THE TIME!! 5-stars!

I bought these to hold the colored leads from broken a Pentel Multi 8 pencil. The fit is right, and I actually like having the colors in separate holders. They also work great with the graphite leads that came with them. I'm happy so far.

These are a good value as a set. They are lighter and less substantial than lead holders from 30 and 40 years ago. The knurling is quite sharp and could have been buffed better before plating. It would also be nice to have the ability to identify the lead in holder.

These are great, used by both professionals and amateurs in both fine arts and technical professions. They’re metal, so there is a nice weight to them. But the difference between a lead holder and a mechanical pencil:Mechanical pencil one click will move the lead (X) amount/clickLead holder when push on the back end releases the lead allowing you to move the lead to the desired length.
