E+M Workman Pocket Clutch Lead Holder - 5.5 mm - Blue

This clutch lead holder is short and stubby in a good way. It's got a nice girth that invites a relaxed grip for drawing and sketching. It's hefty for its size and makes me feel it can survive travel anywhere and do anything. The leads by E+M are okay but for pure drawing joy check out the create-a-color leads that are 5.6mm in size, they are perfect in this clutch and are why i bought it.

It is certainly my new favorite sketching tool.

Very comfortable and easy to spot with its bright red barrel. Also accepts 5.6 mm Cretacolor drawing leads, so it can be loaded with softer 4B and 6B for more expressive sketching or the more smudge-resistant Nero and Sanguine oil leads. Shorter barrel makes it easier to carry on any pocket to sketch anywhere. Since it lacks a built-in lead pointer make sure you to pick one of the available 5.5 mm lead sharpeners to go with it. Great addition to any leadholder collection.

Very nice sturdy pencil. And most of all - THANK YOU Jet Pens for the LIGHTENING FAST Shipment. I bought this Thursday evening. I thought it would take at least week to arrive. It's Monday and it's in my hands - and I'm on the other side of the country!

You guys are great!
