This replaced the same brand lead holder that I have used for 50 years, it is a good product.

Comfortable in hand. Good for writing and drawing. Works with Staedler Lead Pointer.

I love this pencil to roughly sketch ideas and later refine them with my 0.5mm. Absolute staple!

I had been looking for a new lead holder as a backup to my trusty older one I’ve had for years. My biggest requirement was that it have an all metal barrel; which is particular to having a comfortable ‘weighted’ feel in my hand when using it. I found this lead holder and ordered two. So far, I’m very pleased with them and they do in fact feel good in my hand (though I will still likely wrap the barrel with some masking tape to enhance it further).
