Mechanical Pencils

The mechanical pencil, often called a clutch pencil or lead holder, is the writing tool of choice for those who seek precision and consistency. Unlike the classic wooden pencil, it requires no sharpener, offering a tip that is always fine and ready to use. In Morocco, it has become a must-have in school pencil cases, from middle school to university, as well as an essential accessory in offices for quick note-taking or technical drawing. At Wlidaty, we have selected robust and ergonomic models, adapted to all budgets in dirhams (MAD), to support daily writing without interruption.

The major advantage of the mechanical pencil lies in its durability and economic aspect. Infinitely refillable, it avoids waste and guarantees a clean, sharp writing line. Whether for drawing geometric figures in mathematics class, sketching or simply writing without having to worry about sharpening, this instrument offers superior comfort of use. Modern models often integrate comfortable grips and lead protection mechanisms, making the writing experience fluid and fatigue-free, even during long study or work sessions.

Features of the mechanical pencils in our selection:

• Various lead diameters: Available mainly in 0.5 mm for fine and precise writing, or in 0.7 mm for more resistant and standard writing.
• Thoughtful ergonomics: Bodies often triangular or featuring grip zones to prevent fingers from slipping and reduce muscle fatigue.
• Practical features: Most models include an extra-long or retractable eraser at the end, ideal for quick corrections.
• Lead protection: Tips (the small tube at the end) are often retractable to avoid piercing pockets or pencil cases and to protect the lead from shocks during transport.
• Design and colours: A variety of colours, from classic black to pastel or bright shades (pink, blue, green), to suit the tastes of every student or professional.

Tips for choosing your mechanical pencil:

• For technical drawing or very fine and light writing, opt for a 0.5 mm lead.
• For classic note-taking at school or in the office, a 0.7 mm lead is recommended because it breaks less often under pressure.
• Remember to always have a case of refill leads (HB is the most versatile standard) in your pencil case to never run out.
• If you write a lot, choose a triangular body that conforms to the natural position of the fingers.

Frequently asked questions about mechanical pencils:

What is the difference between 0.5 mm and 0.7 mm?

The 0.5 mm provides a very fine and precise line, ideal for diagrams or those with small handwriting. The 0.7 mm provides a slightly thicker line and, most importantly, a more solid lead, which better resists strong pressure on the paper.

Are mechanical pencils refillable?

Yes, absolutely. This is their great ecological and economic advantage. Simply buy corresponding size lead refills and insert them through the top of the pencil once the reservoir is empty.

Is it suitable for a primary school child?

It depends on the child's dexterity. It is generally recommended from the end of primary school (CM1/CM2) or middle school, as younger children tend to press too hard, which breaks the fine leads. For beginners, a 0.7 mm or thicker lead is preferable.

How to unblock a jammed mechanical pencil?

If a lead is jammed, try advancing the mechanism while gently inserting a thin rod (often supplied with erasers on some high-end models) or another lead through the tip to push the blocked piece out.

What budget should I plan for a good mechanical pencil?

There are models for all budgets. From very accessible entry-level models for a few dirhams to more expensive technical models. At Wlidaty, we offer excellent value for money for durable school use.
