Rotary action lead pointer with automatic sharpening stop. Metal sharpener with integrated dust wiper. Has measurement device for adjusting sharpening cone. Review: Excellent sharpener - Bit complicated sharpner. YouTube videos on its proper use really helped. It can sharpen a 2mm lead in two ways. A blunt point and a sharp point. There are two small holes on the side with a symbol telling the blunt and the sharp point. These actually set the length of lead for each type of sharpening. Once the required length is chosen the lead holder has to be inserted slowly into the main larger hole and kept rotating. The sharpening is done when it ritates without much drag. I have used only for staedtler mars technico 780 lead holder and it may not work for any 2mm lead holder (as the main hole should accept it) Review: Amazing - Ahhh! Sooo good. This is for 2mm pencil lead holders. See a video before using. It has its technicality. Lovely product. They are known for their quality. Knock offs are bad quality and lead breaks. This one is original and works like charm. Light and small. Easy to carry. ## Features - Sharpener for 2mm leads - Rotary action with integrated dust wiper - Metal sharpener with auto sharpening stop - Measurement device for adjusting sharpening cone ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B002EL9J50 | | Best Sellers Rank | #250,109 in Home & Kitchen ( See Top 100 in Home & Kitchen ) #2 in Sharpeners | | Brand | Staedtler | | Brand Name | Staedtler | | Colour | Blue | | Country of Origin | China | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 5,236 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00031901905699 | | Importer Contact Information | Alpha Penplus Private Limited | | Included Components | 1 sharpener | | Item Type | sharpener | | Item Weight | 39 Grams | | Manufacturer | Staedtler Mars GmBh & Co., Staedtler Mars GmBh & Co., Moosackerstrasse 3, Nuremberg 90427, Germany | | Manufacturer Contact Information | Staedtler Mars GmBh & Co., Moosackerstrasse 3, Nuremberg 90427, Germany | | Manufacturer Part Number | 502 BK A6 | | Material | Metal | | Material Type | Metal | | Model number | 502 BK A6 | | Packer Contact Information | Alpha Penplus Private Limited | | Special Feature | Portable | | Special Features | Portable | | Specific Uses For Product | Graphite Pencil | | Target Audience | Artist, Student, Teacher | | UPC | 799916234660 031901905699 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Staedtler - **Colour:** Blue - **Material:** Metal - **Special Feature:** Portable - **Target Audience:** Artist, Student, Teacher ## Images ![Staedtler Mars 502 Rotary Action Lead Pointer - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71N5IW8tUhL.jpg) ![Staedtler Mars 502 Rotary Action Lead Pointer - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61F6zrkUMcL.jpg) ![Staedtler Mars 502 Rotary Action Lead Pointer - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61V9RDytZML.jpg) ![Staedtler Mars 502 Rotary Action Lead Pointer - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61vqpOAsfFL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent sharpener *by K***1 on 3 April 2025* Bit complicated sharpner. YouTube videos on its proper use really helped. It can sharpen a 2mm lead in two ways. A blunt point and a sharp point. There are two small holes on the side with a symbol telling the blunt and the sharp point. These actually set the length of lead for each type of sharpening. Once the required length is chosen the lead holder has to be inserted slowly into the main larger hole and kept rotating. The sharpening is done when it ritates without much drag. I have used only for staedtler mars technico 780 lead holder and it may not work for any 2mm lead holder (as the main hole should accept it) ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing *by M***N on 29 December 2025* Ahhh! Sooo good. This is for 2mm pencil lead holders. See a video before using. It has its technicality. Lovely product. They are known for their quality. Knock offs are bad quality and lead breaks. This one is original and works like charm. Light and small. Easy to carry. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great sharpener from Staedtler but pricey. *by K***I on 30 July 2018* Packaging was non-existent. Just Amazon bubblewrap on top of Staedtler cardboard box. Definitely needs improvement. Pros: 1) Simple design. Rotating design is easier on hands than other twist type lead sharpeners. 2) Sharpens to a VERY sharp point (attached pic) and has a blunt option as well. Cons: 1) Very pricey. For Rs. 826/- you can get electric rotary sharpeners for normal pencils 2) Found a plastic mark/small hole on the pencil holder on the side which seems to be a manufacturing issue (pic attached) but doesn't affect structure or functionality. 3) Heard that it doest support non-Staedtler pencils, but couldn't test it. ## Frequently Bought Together - Staedtler 502 BK A6 Mars Rotary Action Lead Pointer and Tub for 2mm Leads, 502BKA6,Blue - Staedtler Mars 780 Technical Mechanical Pencil, 2mm. 780BK - Staedtler Mars Carbon Lead, 12 x 2mm, HB (200-HB) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/76302144-staedtler-mars-502-rotary-action-lead-pointer](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/76302144-staedtler-mars-502-rotary-action-lead-pointer) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-06-20*
