Review on πŸ–ŠοΈ Staedtler Mars Technico Lead Sharpener (502): Ultimate precision sharpener for Mars Technico leads by Kristen Reid

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Useful, reliable and does more than I thought it would

This is a great sharpener for the 2mm graphite tips used in mechanical pencils. There is a large hole for standard pencil tips and two holes for graphite. You have the choice between the sharpness of a point laser for the finest lines or a more relaxed sharpness for smooth, creamy lines and optimal shading. These settings are also great for a variety of handwritten lettering and calligraphy. To me, this was more accurate than using the sharpener found in the caps of some mechanical pencils/holders. Mine had no instructions other than what I thought was a sparse diagram on the box. But after looking it up on the internet, I understood it completely.

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • No automatic
