Staedtler Pencil Holder - Silver

It was love at first sight when I first spotted this neat pencil accessory in a Pencil Talk post a few years back, so I was quite pleased to finally find it stateside. In addition to working both as a pencil stub extender and a pencil point protector, it features an extendable twist-advance cap eraser, pocket clip, and lead degree indicator (covering the range from from 2H to 4B including F). Users of premium and vintage wooden pencils would likely find this stylish tool quite pleasing to hold and effective in handling stubs 3-4" in length. It features a matte silver finish, and its brand and degree markings are subtly etched in a glossy shinier finish. The pencil stub is easily secured by tightening the lightly textured grip around it. Its tooth provides a firm grip without being excessively abrasive like the knurled metal grips of many leadholders. Highly recommended.

A superior pencil holder worthy of making the last bit of a Mono 100 or other great pencil shine. The knurled grip feels good and rotating the holder to maintain pencil points is easy. The clip and built in eraser makes this easy to carry as well. Overall, a very functional and useful writing tool for whoever likes to use wood cased pencils.

An expensive accessory but once I had it on my hands I knew why.

First, note that it works with pencils with a length of up to 10cm. Unless you want to have a protruding and large pencil.

The pencil is secured with a mechanism similar to those used in a drill to secure drill bits, and the eraser uses a screw top system too, you turn it clockwise to show the eraser little by little, very sophisticated.

And of course, it is lightweight, it might add just the required weight to a wooden pencil to convert it into a balanced writing utensil. Very useful to write comfortably with the last bits of those pencils laying around the house.
