Pentel Art Multi 8 Mechanical Colored Pencil with 12 Color Lead Refills

Pentel's Art Multi 8 — a single mechanical pencil that holds 12 different colour leads in one slim body. A cult-classic Japanese tool for sketchers, students and journallers.

Pentel was founded in Tokyo in 1946 and is one of Japan's foundational stationery brands. The Multi 8 (model PH802) has been in the catalogue since the 1970s: rotate the barrel and a different colour lead drops into the tip. The 2mm leads handle pressure better than typical coloured-pencil leads, so the lines stay crisp even when you're laying down strong colour.

What's good about it

• 12 colour leads in one pencil — rotate the barrel to switch
• 2mm leads — thicker, more pressure-tolerant than standard coloured pencils
• Each lead is individually refillable
• One tool replaces a full coloured-pencil set on a desk or in a bag
• Trusted by Japanese architects, illustrators and engineers for decades
• Made in Japan by Pentel (Tokyo, est. 1946)
