Name: Jackson's : Clutch Pencil Leadholder : 5.6mm
Brand: Jackson's
SKU: GJ24412MP
Price: 4.80 GBP
Availability: InStock

Jackson's Clutch Pencil Leadholder is designed for use with 5.6mm pencil leads (of any brand), and is suitable for technical drawing, sketching and general use. Every artist should have one in their studio.

The barrel is 15.4cm long and is approximately 1.2cm in diameter, slightly wider than a regular clutch pencil. If the button at the top of the barrel is pressed down, the clutch will release its grip on the lead. The lead can then be extended, sharpened or replaced.

Please be aware that this clutch pencil does not come with a lead, though packs of 2B leads, 4B leads, 6B leads and 8B leads are available at a modest price. This clutch pencil will fit leads of 5.6mm in diameter made by any brand. At the top of the barrel, just below the button, this clutch pencil bears an adjustable scale which can be used to designate the grade of lead you are currently using: 2B, 4B, 6B or 8B.

Q. Does the push button pull out to become a lead sharpener?

A. This clutch pencil does not come with an in built sharpener. However the Koh-I-Nor Clutch Pencil Leadholder (GKAC5311BK) may be more appropriate for you as this does contain a sharpener beneath the push button.

A decent product for the price and great value, and though largely made of plastic, and lighter than all metal counterparts, is well made and finished. It has a moulded knurled section to the barrel to aid gripping and an adjustable lead grade indicator at the end, so you can identify what lead is installed. There is no built in sharpener, and on my sample the leads are less easily adjustable when pressing the release button, than my Koh-I-Noor clutch pencil, though this may improve with some use.

Good price for this clutch-pencil (5.6mm lesds). It weights less than others I have and is therefore more handy, because the outer holder is in plastic, nice and soft to the touch. The internal mechanism is metal so it seems robust. It does not come with a lead sharpener inside the push botton. (Posted on 23/11/2020)

Great budget clutch-pencil, sturdy and well built. But it's quite heavy, and makes you smudge graphite a bit more then usual. (Posted on 22/04/2020)

This is a good budget priced leadholder the internal mechanism is all metal so nice and robust, the outer holder is plastic making the whole thing quite lightweight. The knurled grip is comfortable and the plastic has a soft rubbery feel to it. There's a handy little indicator ring at the top end which shows what lead you have inserted - 2B, 4B, 6B or 8B, so you could have a whole set with one of each. I like this for 'out and about' sketching - it's lightweight but robust and really very inexpensive. All my standard 5.6mm leads fit this holder. (Posted on 28/03/2017)
