Ohto Comfort Sharp Lead Holder - 2 mm - Green Body

The officegeek blog has criticisms of this lead holder, but I wholeheartedly disagree. This is an absolutely incredible design in all respects. No, the clip is not made too tight as officegeek claims(I'm actually a big fan of officegeek on most reviews).

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.

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.

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.

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)
