rOtring 300 Clutch Pencil 2.0 mm, Brass Mechanism, Sharpener Under the Cap, Lead Hardness Indicator, Black

The rOtring 300 2.0 mm (1904729) is a refillable clutch pencil — a leadholder for thick 2.0 mm leads — with a brass mechanism, a lead sharpener under the push-button cap and a black hexagonal barrel. It suits sketching, technical drawing, woodworking and marking-out, where a thick, strong lead that can be sharpened to a point is more practical than a fine 0.5 mm lead.

The hexagonal plastic barrel does not roll off the drawing board, and the grip zone is metal for a secure hold. A lead hardness indicator lets you show which grade is loaded, so you can keep several 300 pencils with different leads and tell them apart at a glance.

• 1 rOtring 300 clutch pencil 2.0 mm, black

• Thick 2.0 mm lead resists breaking — good for sketching with pressure and marking on wood or card.
• Sharpen the lead with the built-in sharpener under the cap — no separate lead pointer needed on the go.
• Set the hardness indicator to the lead you loaded (e.g. HB, 2B) to keep track of multiple pencils.
• Hexagonal barrel stays put on a sloped drawing board.
• Refillable — buy 2.0 mm leads instead of a new pencil.

• 0.5 mm or 0.7 mm fine leads — this holder takes 2.0 mm leads only.
• Very fine technical line work at 0.3-0.5 mm without frequent sharpening — use a fine-lead mechanical pencil.
• Erasing — rOtring does not list an eraser for this model.
• Coloured or 3.15 mm leads — use 2.0 mm leads.
