Faultless #2 Pencil Clips


Additional information and Photos

These clips are made in Chicopee, Massachusetts, USA.

They are made from hi carbon steel, heat-treated to harden the steel, honed (made smooth), burnished (cleaned and prepped for plating), and then nickel-plated (which adds a bright and beautiful finish).

Each clip should retain its original shape for many years.

The internal diameter of this “slide-on” clip is .285+/-.005 inches. They fit the standard #2 pencil, and some plastic ballpoint pens ("stick" type pens).

In the past, high quality #2 pencil clips were readily available in small quantities at stores that offered office supplies. Now it appears you can only obtain such clips if you are willing to purchase many thousand at a time. The Arbolis partners decided that was unacceptable. And they now offer these clips six to a package.

You can clip it to your shirt pocket, a spiral notebook, any book you are reading, an appointment book, or calendar, just to name a few uses.

User Comments: Anita of Arbolis says, "I like knowing where my pencil is. It's handy to have my pencil clipped to the little spiral memo pad that I keep in my car's glove compartment to record my gas mileage."

One woman who purchased the clip commented on several uses.
"I have it clipped to the pen "loop" that is inside my large carry-all bag."
She found that this clip fits her lip-liner pencil. So, she clips her lip-liner to her cosmetic bag, so she can find it easily. She really like this clip; "Now I don't have to 'dig' in my bag."
