Works a treat. 1/100th the price. **Q: How do you u use it ? Or how does it work?** A: YouTube Search: Staedtler's Mars 502 Lead Pointer Tub Also watch Nate Van Dyke in his Studio ... and you'll see him use the device before he inks in his artwork. It's also just a cool video and cool artwork! All the best. **Q: Does it sharpen a 782 Mars?** A: I use it to sharpen my Mars 780C 2mm mechanical pencil. I do not know if it will fit the 782 but they look very similar. **Q: Does anyone know if this can also sharpen 2.5mm lead? Thank you** A: I don't know about 2.5mm lead. however, I have used it with other clutch pencils, and you have to be more careful in the pressure you use when sharpening. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Top quality product which does a good job. Shame they didn't include instructions! *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 15 March 2016* This is a top quality pencil sharpener for the 2mm lead collet pencils from Staedtler. It puts a lovely smooth tapered point on the pencil. The point angle is quite shallow, meaning it lasts a long time between sharpenings.As others have noted, it can be confusing to operate. You first use one of the two small holes on the top to extend the lead to the correct length for sharpening. The further you extend the lead, the sharper point you end up with when the sharpening is complete. You then insert the pencil into the larger hole on the top, and while holding the pencil and the blue part of the sharpener, move the pencil around in circles (note: you aren't rotating the pencil in the hole, you move the whole pencil around the centre of the sharpener). This causes the top portion of the sharpener to rotate. Inside the middle of the sharpener there is a milling cutter. The motion of the pencil moves this around the lead to cut a point on it. Once you get the knack, its very easy and quite satisfying to do.The downsides are:1) I could have done with a third depth gauge on the top. I find the "sharp" one to be too sharp and it wastes a lot of lead, and I find the "rounded" one to be too blunt for writing. I usually end up setting the lead to "rounded" and then manually extending it about 1mm to get a perfect point.2) There were no instructions with it. If it hadn't been for the Amazon reviews, I would have struggled to work out how to use it.3) The lead cleaner in the top (the white dot in the picture) is useless. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent! *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 17 July 2026* Excellent, gets your lead nice and sharp. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Not convinced *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 30 July 2026* Does the job but needs instructions. Not convinced this is the better solution for mechanical pencils. ## Frequently Bought Together - Staedtler Mars Technico Lead Sharpener (502) - Staedtler Mars Technico Lead Holder (780 C) - Staedtler Mars Carbon Lead, 12 x 2mm, HB (200-HB) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.no/products/48691577-staedtler-502-mars-lead-pointer-tub-sharpener-for-2mm-pencil](https://www.desertcart.no/products/48691577-staedtler-502-mars-lead-pointer-tub-sharpener-for-2mm-pencil) --- *Product available on Desertcart Norway* *Store origin: NO* *Last updated: 2026-09-17*
