What are these features? What do they do?
Push Button Lead Advancement |
The internal mechanism to advance leads uses a push button. The push button should be held in if you want to push the lead back inside the pencil. |
Eraser |
A pencil eraser hidden underneath the push button cap. |
Full Metal Construction |
A sturdy all metal construction provides durability. |
Retractable Writing Tip Mechanism |
With a simple twist the writing tip can be pulled into the pencil. Great for on-the-go and avoiding damage to an otherwise quite vulnerable part of the pencil. |
Capacitive Screen Stylus |
A touch screen stylus which works with capacitive (electric signal) touch screens. Most modern tech which uses touch screen uses capacitive technology. |
Lead Hardness Indicator |
A twist device on the end cap which shows which lead hardness is currently in your pencil. This is easy to change and handy for if you have multiple hardness’s being used at once. |
Cushion Lead Mechanism |
A mechanism with a slight bounce which helps prevent lead breakages and provides additional comfort when writing |
Matching Ballpoint |
Available from Pen Heaven as a ballpoint pen in the same range and colourways. Perfect for if you want a matching set. |
