Ohto Comfort Sharp Lead Holder - 2 mm - Gray Body

I work in a mud, rain, grime, and cement environment and this pencil never fails. The sharpener on the head is simply fantastic and eliminates my having to pack a lead sharpener around with me. A truly well designed lead holder! I use this now in the office too, and feel its the best lead holder available.

I ordered this pencil on a whim and I haven't regretted it once. Its lightweight body was a surprise but perfect since I worry about hand fatigue over time. So far so good.

Oh, I never that there was a sharpener in the top cap! I always thought that was for keeping the lead in... And so I was wrong. I really enjoy using this because of the gel-like feel on it makes it so smooth, and it doesn't feel...'greasy' like other gel-grip pens. Very comfortable to use! The design is very cute, feels professional in your hands! And so affordable! I use this for drawing, and it doesn't need to be sharpened often. This is smooth, but it has a very firm grip. I bought one for my friend, and one for me. We both loved it!

Pretty good value for its price point. Nice to have all 4 colors to keep different graphite grades separate without having to switch leads. It comes with an unmarked 3.5" lead that I find rather coarse, so I would recommend discarding it and replacing it with a smoother drawing lead. Its diameter is too wide to be used in a typical rotary tub lead pointer, so getting a reliable lead pointer would be advisable. Its built-in pointer in the push button tends to be out of alignment and yields an uneven point, so I would only used it in a pinch. While it makes a nice addition to a leadholder collection, I prefer the sturdier construction and precision grip of the metal clutch of the Mitsubishi Uni leadholder or the Staedtler 925-25-20.

Super Pencil..light weight. The clip is strong springy steel. Smooth comfortable soft touch grip. Colorful. This is an awesome pencil, at a very good price. I loaded mine with Uni 2mm in softer lead grades for drawing and sketching. Do you want a lighter weight 2mm pencil...Get the set...you wont be sorry. :O)
