With a 2.2mm HB graphite core, the Acmeliae 43524 HB Graphite Pencil produces consistent marks on standard paper. Softened Russia cedar wood surrounds the lead to prevent casing fractures during sharpening. A triangular body stops the pencil from rolling off flat surfaces during use.
Key Features
- Triangular Grip: 7.2mm diameter body stops rolling on flat surfaces. It stays secure in the hand even when exposed to high humidity.
- Russia Cedar Wood: Softened wood construction prevents sharpening jams. The casing stays smooth without splintering into the skin.
- HB Lead Core: 2.2mm diameter graphite resists snapping under high pressure. It leaves dark, legible marks on low-quality paper.
