A 2mm leadholder for students who want the expression of a traditional pencil with modern convenience

The Staedtler Mars Technico 788 C is a student-quality 2mm leadholder, providing a comfortable metal-barrelled instrument that accepts standard 2mm graphite leads for writing, drawing and sketching.

Leadholders occupy a different category from fine mechanical pencils. Rather than advancing a thin 0.5mm or 0.7mm lead, a leadholder holds a full 2mm diameter lead - the same diameter as a traditional wood-cased pencil - and advances it with a simple push-button clutch. The 2mm format is preferred by artists and technical drawers who like the expressiveness and variety of line the larger lead provides, and by students who find thin lead mechanical pencils too fragile. The 788 C is the student-quality Mars Technico with a straightforward design - metal barrel, push-button clutch, pocket clip. Accepts all standard 2mm Mars Carbon and Mars Lumograph leads in any grade from hard technical to soft sketching. Requires a 2mm lead pointer (such as the Mars Technico 502) to sharpen.

The Staedtler Mars Technico 788 C is a practical introduction to the leadholder format for students in technical drawing, fine arts or design courses.

  • 2mm leadholder format for expressive, traditional pencil line weight
  • Push-button clutch advances the lead smoothly and securely
  • Accepts all standard 2mm Mars Carbon and Mars Lumograph leads
  • Metal barrel with pocket clip for reliable daily carry
  • Compatible with grades from 6H through 6B - one instrument for all grades
  • Student-quality Mars Technico at an accessible price point
  • Technical drawing and drafting with 2mm lead for consistent, precise lines
  • Fine arts sketching and life drawing using soft 2B-6B grades
  • Architecture and design coursework requiring traditional lead expression
  • Everyday writing where a 2mm lead provides a classic pencil feel
  • Students introduced to leadholders for the first time
