## Summary description

Caran d-Ache 849 clip-on retractable ballpoint pen in anthracite with a hexagonal shaft. Model 849 (MPN 849.495) is a single-piece pen designed for everyday writing; it features a push-button retractable mechanism and an attached clip for pocket use. Made in Switzerland and supplied as 1 pc.

## Long description

The Caran d'Ache 849 clip-on retractable ballpoint pen combines a hexagonal aluminium body and Swiss manufacture to deliver a reliable everyday writing instrument. Launched in 1969, the 849 is known for its streamlined silhouette and durable metal construction; this version features an anthracite finish and a retractable mechanism with a clip for easy carrying.
Advantages
The hexagonal aluminium barrel provides a comfortable grip and resists deformation from daily use. Swiss manufacturing ensures consistent build quality and a smooth, dependable ballpoint refill. The clip-on retractable mechanism protects the tip when not in use and makes the pen convenient to carry in a pocket or notebook.
Suitable for
 Everyday note-taking at home, school or office
 Professional use where a durable metal pen is preferred
 Travel and commuting thanks to the retractable tip and clip
 Gift or desk accessory for users who value classic design and metal construction
When it may not be suitable
Those who prefer lightweight plastic pens may find the aluminium body heavier than typical disposable pens. If you require a specialised tip (e.g., fine technical drawing or fountain-pen style ink flow), this standard ballpoint refill may not meet those needs.

How to use
Press the clip or the retractable mechanism to extend the ballpoint tip before writing and press again to retract it after use.

Replace the refill with a compatible medium ballpoint refill when ink runs low to maintain consistent writing performance.
What to consider before purchase
 Pen weight and metal body vs. lightweight plastic alternatives
 Ink colour and point size (this model uses blue ink with a medium tip)
 Compatibility with available replacement refills
 Preference for a retractable clip-on mechanism rather than a capped pen
Usage recommendations
For long writing sessions, hold the pen at a relaxed angle and take short breaks to reduce hand strain. Store the pen retracted when not in use to protect surfaces and prolong the refill life.
