E+M Workman 916 Pocket Clutch Lead Holder Spotlight

Thanks George for bringing this neat sketching item from the Jet Pens new arrivals list to my attention. While I had originally meant to wait until we moved to add anything else to my collection of sketching tools, I just did not want to pass up the opportunity to get this red 5.5 mm E+M Workman Pocket Clutch Lead Holder after having passed on it a few years back in a specialty gifts store in downtown Toronto.This pocket leadholder is quite comfortable and easy to spot with its bright red barrel. It also accepts 5.6 mm Cretacolor drawing leads, so it can be loaded with softer 4B and 6B for more expressive sketching or the more smudge-resistant Nero and Sanguine oil leads for cleaner handling. Its short 10 cm barrel makes it easy to carry on any pocket to sketch anywhere. Since it lacks a built-in lead pointer make sure you to pick one of the available 5.5 mm lead sharpeners to go with it to restore its sharp point. Great addition to any leadholder collection. Its compact shape also make it easy to handle for kid artists.
