Review: Great pencil, weighty and the lead doesn't slip - I love this pencil. It has a built-in lead sharpener in the cap. Remember to empty it out though. It is weighty, has a very smooth mechanism, and works great. Any 2.0mm lead works in it, but if you want it to feel like the lead of a normal wood pencil, get HB lead. 2.0mm lead has never broken for me, very thick and sturdy. Overall an amazing mechanical pencil and I love the clutch mechanism.
Review: great art mechanical pencils - Want a pencil that wholes 2mm lead. This is it Simple to use. pocked clip has pencil hardness engraved on its band. But I can not read that so I use tape to mark what hardness of lead is in each pen. The lead is grasped firmly by the pencil grips and grasp is controlled by pressing in the Crome cap on far end of pencil. I really like Staedler pencils and other products. I am not alone many folks use these with great success

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What is the difference between this and the 780C?**
A: There is no difference between leadholder 780C and 780BK. Both article numbers refer to the leadholder 780. BK just means that the product is packed in a blistercard (Blisterkarte). C stands for clip. Formerly this leadholder was offered with or without a clip. Nowadays only the version with a clip is available.

**Q: do i need to buy different parts for this pencil to work or am i set if i just buy this?**
A: Old question, but no one answer has been complete. This lead holder comes with a 2H lead, which is a bit harder than your standard HB pencil (aka #2 pencil in the United States) and thus makes a lighter grey mark. The cap at the end does include a built in lead pointer, which you can use to sharpen the lead into a point. A rotary pointer, though, is a bit nicer and easier to use. So no, you do not need to buy anything else.You may, if you wish, want to buy some different leads (like a 2B to get a bit darker and softer of a lead), an easier to use lead pointer, and/or an eraser.

**Q: I like to use fine lines when I draw details, but I also shade large areas as well, which lead set should I get?**
A: You can do fine lines and larger shaded areas with just a 2B lead

**Q: What material is the blue portion of the lead holder made of?**
A: The blue portion is mostly a sturdy plastic, the tip of the holder I believe is steel. Its quite durable.

Great mechanical pencil. Make sure you buy the one that has the sharpener built into the cap. There are different models, apparently.
