Can't go wrong with a Steadler sharpener or any other mechanical drawing tools. I used it when I was in college and now I bought one for my son.

    This sharpener works really good and I like using it better than using the end of the mechanical pencil sharpener. It can sharpen to a very thin point or to a less pointy end of the leads. Works great.

    It's a good sharpener for a mechanical pencil. It's got 2 settings for the kind of sharpe finish for the lead one is with a really sharp sharp point and the other is less sharp but still enough for writing without the lead breaking.

    You can get different points on your mechanical pencil with the 3 sharpening areas, plus comes with cleaning foam insert. Also comes with 2 spare foam inserts.

    The sharpener comes with 2 small holes to calculate the depth the carbon stick needs to be to be sharpened, pointy or half pointy. Then the bigger hole is for the pencil with the carbon stick to be rotared in order to be sharpened. It works great!

    I found it was not clear on how to sharpen the lead but watched a video and realized that you should only have about an inch of the lead showing before sharpening. It does give a very fine point so I was pleased with the result

    5.0 out of 5 stars Great for *almost* any 2mm Lead Holder.
    Reviewed in the United States on May 7, 2023

    A very neat little gimzo that works great once you get the hang of it. Staedtler does not do a good job of putting instructions with their products -- perhaps this is because they make professional drafting gear and assume everyone already knows how to use their tools.

    However, it's easy to figure out. You release the lead into the little holes that match the angle of the tip you want (sharp for lines/writing, broad for drawing/shading), I assume these are traditional 23° and 30° tips. Then, you feed the pencil into the large hole, making sure the lead has threaded through the internal chute. Then you gently grip the pencil with two fingers and use it as a crank (like a ice cream maker or a kitchen mill) to engage the sharpening burr. Once you no longer feel the lead scraping the grinder, your lead is done.

    It is important to know that this is designed to fit the German Staedtler 780 and 788 Leadholders. Or, rather, it's a traditional design and as such they designed those pencils to be compatible -- these are designs from probably 50+ years ago, so it's hard to know which came first. That said, I imagine it is more-or-less compatible with most traditional slim leadholders.

    Regarding German/Japanese pencil compatibility: One of the things that has come up in the comments on this product as well as many of the Japanese Staedtler products is that this Staedtler 502 Lead Pointer is not compatible with anything wider than the 780 and that includes being "incompatible" with the popular Japanese 925 25-20 and 925 35-20... you will see that many people discuss how to sharpen those in the reviews. First, I will say, there are many stand-alone 2mm sharpeners. If you really want a standalone sharpener, the Staedtler "egg" or "oval"-shaped sharpener from Japan (513 85DS BK), which fits 2mm and 3mm leads

    However, I can tell you, as I literally just used this 502 sharpener to sharpen my 925 25-20. The simple solution is to make the lead flush with the sleeve, then click the pencil 16-20 times, and then thread the pencil into the grinder, and go for it. You will have to experiment on the angle, the longer the lead the sharper the tip. Start at 16 and work to 20 clicks. If it is too long you will likely snap your lead. I can confirm that this works with HB leads; different degrees may have different results. If you want to be 100% certain, then buy a cheap 780 and use it as a sharpening body, or buy the egg sharpener.
