NO WAY THIS IS LIFE CHANGING

I’ve been using sandpaper 🤣

This was my childhood. Wasted so many graphite leds just by sharpening and breaking them. I am surprised this isn't common knowledge.

I had one of theses when I was at high school, back in the early 70s. Couldn’t believe it when I found out they were still making them😱Of course I had to get one🤷🏻‍♂️

Yay for sharing this feature. I use Koh-i-Noor clutch pencils and they all have a built in sharpener when you unscrew the metal end. Bonus tip: you can use the shavings to shade big areas with graphite dust and my fingers or cotton tip stick.

I've had the opposite surprise, when I've gotten a clutch pencil and it turned out it *didn't* have a built-in sharpener - my first no-brand cheapie ones did, so I didn't even consider that others might not 😅

the way I screamed, paused the video and went to grab mine to test it out and omfg its amazing

I had this pencil when I was in school around 10 yrs ago....this brings back memories 😊

It's a surprise for me to see so many people didn't knew that! But when I recall first time using that I also did that accidentally 😅😅

I LOVE what you do! Showing useful art tips on how to use products or get the most use out of supplies is majorly helpful! Thank you ❤

Used one of those in college 50+ years ago. The second thing we were shown after how to advance the lead.

Wait what 😦 the amount of sand paper I carried in my hs drafting class and this was a feature built in 💀💀💀

Oh, you're kidding! I love these even more! I got a Kum long point sharpener that included these leads as well! Turns out we don't need it! Thank you Leslie!

I also used to do that! It's a little bit different since the sharpener on my pencil looked a bit more like a sharpener than just a hole. Though I like the other mechanical pensil more since the lead is easier to find.

I knew about the sharpener but not that it came off!!! I’ve just been taking the whole lead out and sharpening that, thank you for this tip

its certainly cool! i use the tub sharpener at home, & the cap sharpener for on the go 😊

That’s honestly really cool, I never knew that!

I love your work so much ❤

I NEVER knew this!!! Cool!

Great...thanks...also your artwork in the background is very good... keep up the good work..

I have pencils like this with built in sharpener. After sharpening the pencil, I would tap the dust out and used it for shading (not to specify any brand but I got a few random from random stationery shops for cheap)

OMG JUST SHARPENED THE LEAD ON MY PENCIL.

IVE HAD THIS PENCIL FOR YEARS!!! I have a big drafting pencil sharpener but never take it with me because it once opened in my bag, BAD day, My art store sold tiny sharpeners for them but I always lost them. THANK YOU

I have Steadtler Mars techno from 2016 and I already knew that!

Thank you!

I never knew this until a friend of mine who had one showed me it. I’d always just use it unsharpened 😭

Your voice is wonderful ☺️ Thank you for this 💕

I’ve been using a box cutter. 😂😂😂 . That’s crazy!!!!

My favorite pencil

She showed that led a good time.

U just changed my whole life

I did not know this either . Been using it for years. Wow😅❤

I had this as a kid!!! eventhough I was into drawing and sketching I never knew I could use it there. I'd only use it for studying

Yes, I know that. It says it like three times on the package it comes in when you buy it.

I remember learning about this, I was blown away 😅

I had no idea!

Thank you I finally figured it out

Absolutely amazing!

I like the tub sharpener

I just found this video, and i love you so much. God this just made my day way better. Been sharpening the damn thing on a blank paper as i draw. Thank you so much!!!

Wow your channel is so underrated! Im loving all your content! ❤ Im 🙏 praying the kneaded eraser video catapults you to millions of subscribers like it should! You are absolutely AMAZING 😻 ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😻

i had this pencil when i was sixth grade 7 years ago and it's awesome !!

I too used 2.0 lead pencils during school time it was a life saver

That’s awesome!

I discovered this on my own back then! It's such a neat feature

Ive had mine THREE YEARS. THREE. IM SO HAPPY BUT ALSO ARGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH

i didn't know that! thank you!

I would never have known and I’ve had this mechanical pencil over 20 years!😂😂

Oh wow I didn't even know about this. I absolutely love these pencils.

Amazing. It even worked with my knock off 😅😂

I used to use the shaved for shading :D

I use these RELIGIOUSLY since my dad let me have his old graphing pencils of thia brand! HOW DID I NOT KNOW THIS?!

Okay that is game changing!

Omg omg omg The first time ever I can say I knew that lol.

Wow! Who knew!

I bought this for this reason alone.

Omg I was taking my lead out for that trick didnt know the top can come loose 😮😂

It’s such a good feature! Not all clutch pencils and lead holders have this, but for the ones that do it’s really good!

Wow! I love cool design like this. Usually Japanese stationary is where I find it in pens and inks. But hey, the Germans are pretty fly at design too, so there we are!

Wowwwwww amazing is that actually a little mini sharpenr in their ??? Thays crazy to me!!!

:O how did i not know this!!!

I've had mine for like 2 years, I never realized it had one, thank you :D

wow thank you so much for sharing ma'am.

I just exploded. This has been my favorite pencil for years, finding it in my stepfathers old drafting supplies. I had no clue. Wow, thank you! I love this for drawing and sometimes it has left me wanting. I shall want no more!

İ knew it :> but thanks for telling

Oof. Thanks for teaching me something new about my pencil. I've just been using a nail file. 🤦‍♀️

So this changed my life! 😂💛 I’ve had a pencil like this and i’ve had it for a good 5 years and I never knew this!

I’ve been using that exact model of pencil for 16 years, and I’ve never known of that feature before. D8

IM FREAKING OUT RN I HAD NO IDEA THANK YOU

I actually blew on my screen when you took it out of the sharpener. I feel so silly lol.

I bought the 502 lead pointer along with this pencil, which is obviously why SM didn't mention this feature on the packaging. Thanks for this useful info - the built in feature is much more useful and does a much better job than the 502 as well.

Yes, i love my 2mm criterium because of this feature!

Nice ❤

WHATTT ive literally had this pencil for like 7 years and i had no idea. thank u for sharing!!

Thank you 😂I didn’t realize my lead pencil had a sharpener

Thank you for sharing this. Just a note, besides built in sharpeners on a lot of clutch penciils, Faber-Castell makes the Perfect Pencil. It has an eraser, B lead, a cap cover, and a built in sharpener. The cap with the sharpener fits all standard width pencils including Blackwing.

I had a 2.0 for years and always wondered why it didn't come with an eraser, thanks for this video no longer have to use sandpaper.

OH MY GOSH 😮

You just made me realize my pencils have this sharpener too…. 😮

That's great! The Nic Pro also appears to have that same feature.

What?! My (now late) grandpa gave me an old one of these when I was little, as I’ve always been super into drawing. I have never known this….thank u so much for this, now I can use that pencil to actually comfortably sketch! 😭

i have this in my mech coloring pencils, its like a little metal claw that i put the lead in

Wow, nice and useful feature,i am thinking about how small that sharpener is,which can work in such tiny space 😊 Thanks for your tips, By the way today i did two perspective drawings,it was hard to do ,but i wanted to try,and yes,i also used your tips for measurements,🙂 Have a blessed day Leslie 💞

I'VE HAD ONE OF THESE FOR LIKE 5 YEARS--

Oh my gosh! I have these! Never knew 🥴 (thanks!)

It has a BIG RED DOT on the product case where it shows how you sharpen the tip

I just got one of these bad boys, and the instructions were written on the back of the packaging (in three languages to boot)

It works but the little tub sharpener works a lot better and you don't have graphite spilling out of your pencil.

Cool ❤

I already knew that

I have a Camlin 2.0 mm mechanical pencil. Which has a sharpener as well. Plastic body though (unlike the one shown here). But I forgot when I bought it (possibly 5 years or so) and it is still working fine. The pencil costs 30 rupees and 1 lead box costs 10 rupees. In INR.

i have one of these!! it was my father’s and he showed me how to use the sharpener and i thought it was so cool! but then one day i broke the lead inside the sharpener and i couldn’t get it out so i stopped using it 🥲 it still sits there on his desk to this day…

Me knowing this since the start

thankyou

I just got the sharpener for it works to make longer points or short ones

I bought this because of that sharpener. I didn't know it was commom knowledge

An honest to God art tip I hadn't known about 😱

I am using this since 2017

Yes, yes i did. From the start. Tho I am an OCD autist and anaylize Everything I posess. 😅 a few videos ive seen from you i already knew, but that just me. I think it's great you're sharing this with people.

ive always wondered how you sharpened those! i thought youd just change the whole lead with a new one
