Part of a really good drawing system April 14, 2010
Emmit W. Stewart (Canton, OH USA)
I have been using this type of lead pointer ever since I started drafting school thirty years ago.this is a good one. With it, I can get a needle sharp point on my lead, although I really don't need it quite that sharp since, when the lead is that sharp, the tip tends to be too fragile to write with. But, the real value of this pointer is when used as part of a system with a good drafter's lead holder and a set of 2mm pencil leads. so this is really a review of such a system. These leads come in the same range of hardness ranging from 6B to 6H as drawing pencils, but since they fit in a lead holder, you can use the entire length of the lead without being bothered dealing with an ever shortening pencil stub. and, since the lead is the same thickness as a drawing pencil, you can use your pencil to make a hairline thin or let it wear down and make heavy line for shading effects. When you are done with your drawing, you can push the lead back into the holder so there are no broken points or smudging graphite all over the inside and contents of your pencil box. I now use a lead holder everywhere I used to use a pencil, including in my woodworking shop. and a good pointer like this is necessary for the use of a lead holder.
