Graphite pencils Maped 851759 set 72 pcs, triangular, HB lead 2.2 mm

Set of 72 Maped graphite pencils (model 851759) with a triangular body and HB lead 2.2 mm. The ergonomic triangular shape supports a stable grip for extended writing and sketching sessions. Leads with HB hardness and 2.2 mm diameter provide bold, consistent strokes suitable for schoolwork, office notes and basic drawing. Barrels come in assorted colours including black, orange and red, supplied in a practical bulk container for classrooms, studios or shared workspaces.

Advantages

The Maped 851759 set combines a large quantity of uniform HB 2.2 mm graphite pencils with an ergonomic triangular profile that helps maintain correct finger placement. The thicker core reduces the risk of frequent breakage while delivering a visible line on paper. Assorted barrel colours make it easy to separate pencils for groups or tasks, and the bulk pack offers convenient storage and economy for high-use environments.

Suitable for

• School classrooms and student use
• Office note-taking and administrative tasks
• Basic sketching, shading and diagram drawing
• Workshops, training sessions and group activities
• Shared supplies in institutions and creative studios

When it may not be suitable

This set is designed for general-purpose writing and basic drawing; it is not intended for technical drafting that requires precision mechanical leads or for professional artists seeking a wide range of tonal grades. The 2.2 mm HB core provides a consistent medium-dark line but does not replace specialty graphite pencils with harder or softer grades for detailed tonal work.

Key specifications

• Quantity: 72 pencils
• Lead hardness: HB
• Lead diameter: 2.2 mm
• Body shape: triangular for ergonomic grip
• Barrel colours: assorted (including black, orange, red)
• Intended use: writing, sketching, school and office use

How to use

Hold the triangular pencil between the thumb, index and middle fingers to benefit from the ergonomic profile. Sharpen with a standard pencil sharpener suitable for 2.2 mm cores or a dedicated sharpener for thicker leads to obtain a consistent point. Use the HB graphite for everyday writing, note-taking and quick sketches; press lightly for lighter lines and increase pressure for darker strokes or shading. Store the pencils in the provided container to keep them organized and protected.

What to consider before purchase

• Quantity requirement — 72 pencils in a bulk pack are intended for group or frequent use
• Lead grade — HB is a medium hardness suitable for general use but not for specialized tonal ranges
• Lead thickness — 2.2 mm is thicker than standard leads and may need an appropriate sharpener
• Body shape preference — triangular barrel supports ergonomic grip but differs from round pencils

Usage recommendations

For classrooms or shared spaces, label groups of colours to assign pencils to students or tasks. Use a sharpener rated for thicker leads to reduce breakage and maintain a consistent point. Rotate pencils periodically to extend usable life and store them in the supplied container to avoid damage.
