A suggestion for OP: I have two of these that I use in my workshop all the time; if you haven’t upgraded from a mechanical pencil to a lead holder than I’d strongly suggest you look into it. What a handgun is to a cannon, a mechanical pencil is to a lead holder. Only downside is the cost but it’s a worthy investment IMO because the lead NEVER breaks and it lasts forever I use the Staedtler Mars Technico, would strongly recommend because it has a sharpener built into the other end

Okay so unfortunately they are either completely unbranded or all of the branding has come off of every single one of them. To the best of my searching abilities, they closest resemble either Blick or MrPen. This is my black pen!

And these are the MrPen ones. The colors I have look closer to these than they do the Blick ones, but either multipack that’s currently available has branding and more colors so I can’t be certain. Happy hunting!!

I am intrigued. I do love a good mechanical pencil. What makes these so much more enjoyable?

The lead’s a whopping 2 mm in diameter, compared to 0.5 mm or 0.7 with standard mechanical pencils. This means it virtually never breaks, and you can also go way longer without sharpening it. It also means the thickness of your writing is more consistent from page to page because it dulls so slowly. Lead holders are most commonly used by artists, the only downside is that you need a separate eraser. But you can also use any color of lead in the same pencil and swap them out easily

What I love most tho is that I can abuse the fuck out of it without worrying about the lead breaking. Toss it, throw it, even step on it, the lead’s still fine, unlike standard mechanical pencil lead which breaks when you look at it funny
