2mm pencil kits

[Haynie]

When I was looking at pen kits trying to decide if I should give it a go I found some 2mm pencil kits. Of course I assumed I would remember where I saw them and now cant find them at all.

Anyone know who carries these kits? Man, I feel lame even asking. My google prowess has shrunk.

Penn State has some large pencils like that. Their mini sketch pencil uses 3mm lead.

Thanks. I saw those. They are twist pencils. I was hoping for lead holders with transmissions like the sketch pencils. Oh well. Maybe rob the mechanisms out of some steadtlers(sp)

personally I like it better than the workshop or sketch pencil.

If someone made a lead pointer kit, that'd make a sweet combination set! (I wonder how easy it would be to scavenge the mechanism from an Alvin or similar...)

That is cool. So, there is no "pencil" category. I need to search through each style. I get it. Thanks folks.

PSI also has a click cigar pencil that uses 2mm lead --- I've been thinking about this kit, but have not ordered one yet.

I had also looked into modifying the Staedtler 2mm lead holder, but never got around to it. Here's my original link.
