Today: something different. A video product review.

A quick look at Staedtler’s 502 Lead Pointer pencil sharpener, which works great with the Mars Technico 788C clutch pencil and the more luxurious 780C clutch pencil.

The Mars 502 sharpener has been around for fifty years which just proves what a timeless, high-quality design it has.

  1. Hello Matthias,

    Product: Staedtler Mars 502 Lead Pointer Pencil Sharpener

    One question. How do you clean these kind of sharpeners once they have been used for years and the gear like metal part s all clogged with lead dust ?

    Any suggestions ?

    Thank you.
