Q&A

How does the DelGuard system prevent lead breakage?

The DelGuard system uses a patented double-spring mechanism to prevent lead breakage. When you apply vertical pressure, an internal spring retracts the lead. For diagonal pressure, the lead sleeve extends. This dual action significantly reduces stress on the lead, making it highly resistant to breakage during writing or technical drawing.

Can the lead still break in a DelGuard pencil?

While designed for exceptional protection, lead can still break if clicked out excessively (e.g., four or more clicks) or if very soft leads (like 2B or higher for 0.3mm) or colored leads are used. To ensure optimal performance and maximum break resistance, use recommended DelGuard brand leads.

How do I refill my DelGuard Mechanical Pencil?

To refill your refillable pencil, first remove the metal tip and then the eraser. Insert new graphite lead sticks into the exposed opening. Replace the eraser, ensuring it covers the hole, then recap with the metal tip. Finally, click the top button a few times to advance the lead.

What is a Double-Spring Mechanism?

A double-spring mechanism, as found in the DelGuard, refers to an advanced internal system with two springs. One spring absorbs vertical pressure, retracting the lead, while the other extends the lead sleeve to protect against diagonal pressure, preventing lead breakage.

What is Lead Hardness (HB, 2B, etc.)?

Lead hardness indicates the graphite's density and darkness. "H" denotes harder leads (lighter lines, less smudging), "B" denotes softer leads (darker lines, smoother writing), and "HB" is a balanced medium, commonly used for general writing.
