Draw comfortably for hours with natural wood grip and 5.6mm leads
Natural wood construction meets precision engineering in this 5.6mm lead holder that balances comfortable drawing with sustainable design. The varnished wooden barrel provides warmth and grip that metal holders can't match, while the hexagonal profile prevents rolling and settles naturally into your hand during extended sessions.
Cretacolor designed this holder specifically for 5.6mm round graphite and chalk leads, the substantial diameter that gives you control for both broad strokes and edge work. The push-button advance mechanism releases smoothly, letting you adjust lead length without interrupting your drawing flow. Unlike thin mechanical pencils that require frequent advancing, this holder accommodates longer leads that last through serious sketching sessions.
The wooden construction absorbs hand moisture rather than becoming slippery, maintaining secure grip whether you're working vertically at an easel or hunched over a drawing board. Artists working with traditional graphite sticks or exploring chalk techniques appreciate how the holder extends usable lead life while keeping hands clean. Works equally well for precise contour drawing and gestural figure work where you need to shift quickly between tip and edge applications.
