    For pencil mods, there are a few different choices. Maybe the SARMP, or the M-301X by K4S.

    Uh, considering you just joined you probably dont have much experience making pen(cil) mods so all of my tutorials might be a bit...hard. Good luck if you try to make one though.

    GJH is expensive....and it's also a pencil. The lead breaks a bit easier than normal and the clicker jams quite frequently (just jiggle it to get it out)

    BUT

    It's more for spinning, not for writing

    Hello to this board, hello fellow graphite/lead fan...

    (To NoRice... sure, they use graphite, but although in earlier times to make them softer, lead was used, that's why they were sharpened with files, knifes and other stuffs. these classical pens can be bought, still, as artists pens, and higly expensive.
    Graphite consists of artificial charcoal, some special sort of ash and modelling clay.....used for the leads... that's why you speak of a leadholder/ Clutch Pencil /Clutch Pushbuttoner, Clutch-lead-pencil....or full term: pushbutton spring clutch leadholders.)
    The lead is what a company / manufacturer gets wrapped in wood or sells in single packs for your leadholders... coloured leads or graphite leads..... hope that helped...)


    To the question: Use the Faber Castell 9400, or the 9640.
    These are sold all over the world. The classical Faber-Castell green, as a leadholder, very wel balanced and light, and, like with any ledholder, you can store the lead inside the pencil, so it is not making clothes dirty and has no pinty tip.

    For other sorts of leadholders, some still avaiable, take a look at eBay, or "www.leadholder.com", as far as I know the biggest archive site for leadholders of 2mm diametre....

    Very well balanced in mechanical pencils is the classic P200 Series of Pentel, like the P205, P207 etc, the last number defining the diametre of the lead used, like P203 contains 0,3mm diametre leads.

    The same manufacturer, Pentel, offers the "Sharp Kerry", which is very well balanced, but I believe to short for spinning.

    Please make your question more concrete, if you want a pencil, a leadholder or a TK (Mechanical Pencil) for spinning, modded or unmodded, and I am sure, someone or maybe me is able to help you out.

    Thanks for reading happy.gif
