Mechanical pencils with leads that are at least 2 mm wide are called lead holders. Like wooden pencils, their leads can be sharpened to control their line width.... Another key difference between lead holders and typical mechanical pencils is their lead advancement system. Many lead holders use a drop clutch lead advancement mechanism rather than the incremental advancement mechanism most mechanical pencils use.

OBS

In English, lead holders are mechanical pencils with replaceable leads of at least two millimetres in diameter. In French, the designation "portemine" and its synonyms refer to any mechanical pencil, regardless of the size of leads used.
