Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons
The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

The lead hardness indicator is also easier to see and read than the pointer that simply points to a stamped hardness on the 780c's clip-band. It comes with one preloaded 2h lead and you'll need to purchase the lead sharpener separately.

The pencil now fits perfectly of i have zero complaints – but staedler really needs to sell a pointer to go along with this pencil).



Cons

The lead breaks inside the shaft for me consistently. This flaw makes it a dealbreaker and nearly unusuable. Won't work with staedtler 2mm rotary action lead pointer.

This seems to be poor execution on their part and i am very dissatisfied with what is a fairly expensive pencil. Does not feel like german staedtler mars technico mechanical pencil.

It is so much better than the papermate it's replacing.


Therefore, i gave my new staedtler pencil and lead holder, to my son, he just loves them.


I have never owned a rotring or some of the higher end mechanical pencils.


I have staedtler mechanical pencil ranging from 0.

    Maybe its just what you get used to


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I have 3 other staedtler mars technico 780 c lead holders that work perfectly in the staedtler 502 lead pointer but for some odd reason this beautiful lead holder does not fit in that same lead pointer because it is thicker than the entry to the lead pointer sad face


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Or ill need to buy yet another 2 mm lead pointer just for this one lead holder


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I should have not assumed that the 502 was more universal and read the qa before i bought this


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Now if they would only support the sharpening side a bit better and make an updated 50x lead pointer that can handle both


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The cone of the pencil gradually unscrews as i write with my left hand presumably because my unorthodox method of gripping exerts torque near the cone of the pencil
