The Swiss Made metal Fixpencil™ by Caran d'Ache was invented in 1929 by a Swiss engineer and quickly became an international success. The first mechanical pencil to be entirely made of metal, the Fixpencil™ is fitted with a unique clutch mechanism. The soft and resistant Technograph leads used with the Fixpencil™ mechanical and clutch pencils will enhance your drawings and sketches. Writers, architects, designers and artists-on-the-go have made the iconic clutch pencil their own to explore a whole range of techniques and typographical creations.
As a writing and drawing instrument of unrivalled quality, the Swiss Made Fixpencil™ mechanical pencil is a firm favourite amongst artists and other art professionals. With an electrostatic powder coating, the finish on the pencil's body is special and long-lasting. More elegant than a graphite pencil or a ballpoint pen, the black aluminium hexagonal body embodies an aesthetic and streamlined design.
With its flexible clip, its push-button, its standard grey-coloured leads and its optimal diameter, the Fixpencil™ is the ideal instrument for all those who seek both performance and elegance in their writing and drawing tools. Take your Caran d'Ache mechanical pencil everywhere with you! Available to buy alone or in boxes of ten, the Fixpencil™ range provides comfort, sturdiness and originality.
Technograph leads are one of Caran d'Ache's flagship products with their reputation for sturdiness and durability.
The Technograph leads are particularly solid and have an especially fine and soft tip which makes it perfect for tracing intense and regular lines. Available in various grades on a scale going from a very hard and dry grade (4H) to a soft one (3B), the leads come in boxes of 12. Long-lasting and unbreakable, the Technograph leads adapt to all types of work and surface: paper, card, wood, etc. Treat yourself to high-quality leads to experience the full potential of the Fixpencil™ clutch pencil and enhance your art!
