Add Valuable Inches With This Chinese-Made Pencil Enlarger

Don’t you just hate it when your pencil gets too small to hold? Or when that loud-mouthed suit is talking so loudly into his phone next to you on the train that you snap your pencil in two in a wave of suppressed rage? Gazing sadly at that tiny amount of wood you think of all the words it was going to write, all the scribbles it was going to sketch and all the sudoku’s it was going to lightly and hesitantly fill in.


But wait! Your pencil isn’t redundant. Just because it’s smaller doesn’t mean it is unusable. There are still pages of messy notes and meandering doodles left your mini-pencil. Check out our brilliant illustrator and very talented friend, Guillaume Cornet as he draws to the end of the pencil to the edge of the page.

But my hands are too big! I can’t hold that tiny pencil! Ok ok, here is a handy, if slightly ridiculous, design to get you using up those remnants of pencils. 1 + 1 = 1 Pencil. No, I haven’t got my maths wrong, this design gets you adding your stubby pencils to the plastic connector, instantly lengthening it to the size of a brand new pencil. Unfortunately this design only comes in plastic which is not such a green thing. So how about this, when your pencil is beginning to become too teeny for your fingers, slot in the Continuous Pencil at the end and keep on scribbling. The pencil extender creates a smooth transition from old to new, using up all the pencil dregs. The drawback being that you need to buy the Continuous Pencil in the first place as this lengthening device only works on other Continuous Pencils.

So take our advice, forget the fancy gadgets but don’t forget your stubby little pencils. Stick with what you’ve got and use it to the very last dot.
