Koh-I-Noor2mm Diameter Short Mechanical Clutch Lead Holder Pencil - Black

I'm sure that these leadholder pencils are aimed at artists but for me it's a sturdy, handy, portable jotter for everyday work and for carrying in a pocket.The pencil feels robust and while 2mm is a large point for writing, the on-board sharpener in the back button tapers the lead to a usable point for this purpose. I might trade up to a B lead for blackness, which again is possible with this system as all grades of lead are available.I have medium sized hands and the length isn't too short (about the same as a pencil that has been sharpened 1/3rd down) and the pencil is comfortable to write with.I'm happy enough to have ordered a red and black one and a set of coloured leads to use to highlight.

This is a really lovely mechanical pencil. Once sharpened, the supplied lead gives a lovely fluid stroke. The mechanism works very well and the intergal sharpener does a fine job. It is found in the screw-in cap.There is one minor negative points though. This is plastic bodied and has a cheap feel but at around 4 quid I think it wasn't unreasonable.

It was a good product but I personally prefer working with actual pencils. I have to get used to this mechanical pencil it just feels odd. But does its job

You have to snap lead to fit but it's perfect, simple design and easy to use. Fits anywhere too

This is a very good clutch pencil. A little shorter than expected but that's my fault for not reading description correctly.Would recommend this for anyone needing a quality drawing implement.

I bought this for comic art and I thought that it looked great but honestly the grip is not comfortable and it is not great for the money as for £9 you can get a good quality pencil, about 20 replacement led an extra led pointer and one on the end of the pencil so I recommend you buy that instead.

I really like this clutch pencil. The size is just right, perfect to keep in your pocket and long enough to properly write with it. It is made out of strong plastic and comes with HB graphite. Highly recommended this pencil for anyone really. It's simply great.

Some may prefer a thin, lightweight pencil/lead-holder but I find it unpleasant to use.1. I only have 'medium' size hands but I found it too thin. At 7.2mm across the flats, it is only slightly thicker than most wooden pencils.2. It is too short for long-term use because the clip is always in the way when you rotate the pencil in your hand to even-out the lead wear. That quickly gets irritating.3. Its lightness makes it feel flimsy. It is probably robust enough but it doesn't have the nice heft of any of my preferred writing implements (my favourite pencil is a 0.7mm LAMY 2000 which isn't exactly heavy).4. It was a mistake for me to buy a 'clutch pencil'/'lead-holder' instead of a 'propelling pencil' which advances the lead when you click it. I am so used to 'propelling pencils' that I keep inadvertently dropping the lead completely out of this 'lead-holder' when not concentrating on THIS PARTICULAR tool. I prefer to act instinctively and not have to constantly compensate for this different functionality. It is distracting.5. The finish is perfect and it functions perfectly as a 'lead-holder' but I have found that is not what I want. I do accept responsibility for buying the wrong 'tool' and hopefully one of my grandchildren will like it instead of me because - I will never use it again.

I didn't expect the size to be that small, although I found myself using only this one lately. It's very comfortable for my small hands.

This is a quality little pencil. It is about 4" long, which is also about the same as the little container that the June Gold colored leads, which are 3 1/2" long come in. I love how compact those 2 items are and how much potential they hold in that little space. Very portable. One thing that does happen is the clip on this little jewel of a pencil, does rub on your hand if it is turned the wrong way. I could easily remove the clip, but it doesn't bother me enough to do that. I just turn the pencil so it is out of the way. I just thought I would mention it. 2mm clutch is my all time favorite pencil. Great for small hands. I am not sure how someone with large hands would feel about this item. Make sure you check the measurements. The combo of this item and those June Gold leads would make a great gift for an aspiring young artist or minimalist.

Lo compre por que mi familiar me lo pidió ya que el es amante de los lapiceros, plumas fuente etc etc.. y en cuanto me llegó y se lo di lo empezó a usar y quedo contentó con la compra.

Lo primero que mencionaré es que funciona perfectamente. Lo digo porque al investigar estos "lápices" el primero vídeo en YouTube que aparentemente les sale a todos es uno que explica que la mina no se mantiene en su lugar y que con cualquier presión se mueve. Ahora, no sé si aquel vídeo muestra una versión anterior del mismo producto pero el hecho es que el que he recibido yo no tiene problema alguna. He probado con otras minas, no solo las que vienen, y no solo de la marca, y el resultado es el mismo. Viendo en detalle el mecanismo, este no solo tiene esas "fauces" que aprietan la mina, sino que además tiene "dientes" serrados al interior que las "muerden" ligeramente, de modo que es imposible que se deslicen.Luego, hago hincapié en el hecho de que este modelo viene con un sacapuntas incorporado, lo caul es genial. Desenroscas el botón que libera la mina y ahí debajo hay unas 4 hojas colocadas de manera que con un simple movimiento giratorio en vaivén sobre la punta logras afilarla más o menos, según lo que necesites. Eso sí, te recomiendo que hagas esto sobre un cesto un papel desechable, pues el resultado es un polvo de grafito muy fino que mancha todo!Finalmente, diré que no solo funciona de maravilla sino que se ve de maravilla. El lápiz es COMPLETAMENTE hecho en metal. Cuando digo completamente es porque no tiene un solo elemento que no sea metálico (salvo la mina, claro 😉). No necesito explicar por qué esto es genial en términos de durabilidad. Recuerda una época en que las cosas estaban hechas para durar toda una vida y sin duda es un portaminas que podrá durarte toda una vida. Pero añadiré que en términos estéticos es maravilloso, porque hace una gran diferencia que sea de metal en vez de plástico; sin contar que al tacto se siente mucho más agradable también. Al principio yo buscaba un portaminas de madera, para que emulara un lápiz lo más posible; pero ahora creo que es mucho más conveniente que sea de metal, por la durabilidad. El acabado es genial y no se ve bien, sino muy bien.La verdad que me sorprende que hoy en día no cueste mucho más de lo que cuesta... Sin duda voy a comprarme otros (creo que todos de diferentes colores!) para tenerlos almacenados y ya nunca tener que comprar lápices.Este viene con una mina HB incluida. Honestamente, me parece que para ser HB es bastante más dura de lo que me esperaba—probablemente más parecida a un H1-H2. Yo prefiero minas más blandas, que escriban como mantequilla, de modo que le puse de inmediato unas Staedtler 4B y anda de maravilla.Por último, corroboro que las dimensiones exactas son 11,5cm de largo (sin contar la punta de la mina) y (+/-) 0,8cm de diámetro. En efecto, en la mano es más pequeño incluso de lo que yo me esperaba—lo cual para mí es perfecto ya que este lo uso mayormente para tener el bolsillo siempre.

Der Druckbleistift überzeugt auf ganzer Linie. Die ungewohnt kurze Länge passt wunderbar in kleinere Taschen oder in eine Mappe, wenn man nicht viel Platz im Gepäck hat. Die mitgelieferte Mine passt super und ist gut zum schreiben oder zeichnen geeignet. Und wenn diese mal abgeschrieben ist, kann man mit dem integrierten Spitzer im Druckknopf hinten sie wieder anspitzen. Dafür wie beschrieben den Druckknopf herausdrehen und zum spitzen an die Mine anlegen und zwischen Daumen und Zeigefinger "drehen".Da bekommt man, was versprochen wird.
