45-Piece Metal Mechanical Pencil Set — Artist Drafting Kit in Leather Case
Product description
Complete 45-piece artist set: The kit includes eight metal mechanical pencils available in 0.5 mm, 0.7 mm, 0.9 mm and a 2.0 mm lead holder for heavier sketching. Also packed are multiple tubes of replacement leads across a range of graphite hardnesses (from 4H down to 6B), a selection of colored graphite sticks, three soft erasers, two dedicated lead sharpeners and a stack of cap-style eraser refills — all stored inside the supplied leather carry case.
Premium metal construction: Each drafting pencil is built with a full metal body for balanced weight and a more controlled feel during extended writing or drawing sessions. The holders feature a threaded metal grip section to reduce slipping and improve control, giving a steady hand for technical sketches and fine detail work.
Generous lead and color options: The set comes with abundant refill material so you won’t run out quickly. In addition to the tube assortment covering hardness grades 4H, 2H, HB, 2B, 4B and 6B, the accessory pack includes a large quantity of smaller-diameter black leads (0.3–0.9 mm), dozens of 2.0 mm graphite sticks in assorted hardnesses, and several colored leads for accenting sketches and adding quick color notes.
Leather zippered case: All tools fit inside a brown genuine leather case with a smooth zipper. The interior is organized with pen loops and a mesh pocket to hold leads and accessories in place so items don’t rattle or shift when carried. The case measures about 7.5 x 5.7 x 1.18 inches — compact enough for a shoulder bag or backpack and convenient for travel between classes, the studio, or outdoor sketching.
Reliable mechanism and protection: The mechanical pencils use a brass mechanism with a dual-action retractor that advances and retracts the tip, helping protect fragile leads while allowing precise line work. The overall package is intended for everyday drafting, sketching, note-taking and field drawing where durability and a variety of lead options are useful.
Pros
- Wide range of lead sizes and hardnesses
- Durable metal pencils with comfortable grip
- Organized leather case for travel
Cons
- Some items may not match listing photos exactly
- Micro-sharpeners don’t make ultra-fine points on hard leads
- Occasional loose refills inside mesh pockets
VerdictThis 45-piece kit is a well-rounded option for students, hobbyists, and field artists who want a compact, all-in-one sketching and drafting set. The metal-bodied pencils feel substantial and comfortable; the case is durable and travel-ready; and the variety of lead diameters and hardnesses makes this useful across many tasks. A few users noted minor mismatch to imagery and that micro-sharpeners do

Worth the wait and fills everyday needs
If you use pencils regularly for school, work, or hobbies, this kit covers everything. It arrives with plenty of leads and erasers and multiple holders for different diameters. The metal pencils write smoothly, have a pleasant weight, and are comfortable for long sessions. Fits easily into a sling or tote and handles almost any pencil task.

Everything you need in one compact pack
Fantastic little kit with all essentials in one place. The pencils feel good in hand and it’s not bulky. I removed a duplicate to add my favorite eraser — great for gifts and daily sketching. Makes it harder to skip drawing since it’s so portable and complete.

Disappointed by packaging differences
I was let down because the product didn’t match the picture. All refills are bunched in a net rather than fixed in place. The eraser and sharpeners are attached as if to prevent loss, which was unexpected.

Great gift for an engineering student
Bought for my son who’s studying engineering. The pencils have a nice weight and multiple lead thicknesses are useful for class. It comes with many refills and a zippered leather case that looks sharp.

Excellent value for a solid set
I’ve tried many writing tools and this kit stands out. It contains almost everything a sketcher or note-taker would want. The case is sturdy, pencils well made, and the larger erasers are handy. The colored graphite is a nice bonus for highlighting or quick color work. Highly recommended.

Love it for outdoor sketching
Quality feels excellent and it’s transformed my sketching routine. Having multiple lead sizes and colored options is a game changer. The leads glide across different papers and the metal finish looks professional. No messy sharpening, and the compact leather case makes it simple to sketch while out in nature.

Well finished and functional
I repurposed the case for my Rotring tools. Construction is solid and the interior net holds most refills. It isn’t exactly like the photo, but overall it’s well made and practical.

Good for beginner architecture students
Works well for field drafting — easier than carrying many wood pencils. Metal textured grips help control lines. The tiny sharpeners work but won’t create super-keen tips with harder leads. Set includes a useful spread from 4B to 4H and HB sizes (0.5, 0.7, 0.9). The leather zippered case is professional and travel-friendly.
