Hi

I have a Steadler MARS-780 lead holder. It is made in Germany, and has a
pocket clip. It is made very nicely. It has been on my desk for days.

It doesn't have any lead.

what should I do? It seems to have a place for the lead to fit, and if I
press the cap/sharpener, three jaws open up. They look to have teeth. Is
this to hold the lead?

Do I write with the side with the lead?

Why is this called a lead holder? Does it have to do with holding lead?

It is a very clever device.


They are called clutch pencils ,and you can still get the lead (
graphite ) refills for them.Mine has a sharpener in the other end .
