When should you choose a jumbo pencil with a thick lead?
The STAEDTLER Mars Lumograph jumbo pencil is designed for situations where you need a sturdy, thick stroke. With a lead diameter of 5.3 mm, you lay down much more graphite than with standard pencils, so you can shade or colour in large areas more quickly. This makes the pencil ideal for technical drawing, sketching and design work where you need broad lines or area filling.

Why the hexagonal shape matters
The hexagonal shape of this pencil ensures that it won't roll off your drawing board or desk. This not only prevents annoyance while you work, but also protects the tip from damage caused by falling. For extended periods of drawing, the hexagonal grip also offers more control than round pencils.

HB grade for versatile use
The HB grade strikes a perfect balance between hardness and softness. You get sufficiently dark lines without the lead becoming too soft and breaking, while the pencil is also not too hard for smooth drawing. This grade is suitable for both writing and drawing, and you can create different shades of grey by varying the pressure.

Practical details for everyday use
This pencil comes with a dip cap that protects the tip during transport and storage. The lead is break-resistant and firmly bonded, which means it is less likely to break during heavy use. The blue lacquer coating makes the pencil easy to recognise among your other drawing materials. Please note that for the thick 5.3 mm lead you will need a suitable sharpener designed for jumbo pencils.
