   There are contradictory sizes posted on the seller’s page, and some measurements listed that seem just plain wrong. First, the set of six holders are all the same size, fitting approximately 7mm pencils. They fit Faber-Castell Polychromos perfectly. The hexagonal Faber-Castell Albrecht Durers are too big for them, as are the 8mm Caran D’Ache Luminance, Museum Aquarelles, and Derwent Lightfast.The two double-ended larger holders have two different sizes. The narrower seems to be the exact same size as the single-ended holders, and the collars used to tighten the grip on the pencils (shown end to end in the photo) are interchangeable. The larger end seems to be closer to 9mm. It is definitely larger than the 8mm Derwent pencil Extender (the larger, silver one), and correspondingly holds 8mm pencils, but on the loose side (you might want to put a layer of tape on the pencils to snug them up).7mm holders tested with:Faber-Castell Polychromos: fit well.Caran D’Ache Supracolor Soft (hexagonal barrel): reasonably wellFaber-Castell Albrecht Durer (hexagonal barrel): You can kinda stuff in the tail end of the pencil to just past the silver band, but can’t really adjust the length. Not recommended.Caran D’Ache Luminance, Museum Aquarelle, Derwent Lightfast: same as the Durers, but even more marginal. I wouldn’t recommend these for any pencil listed as 8mm or more. .9mmFaber Castell Albrecht Durer: Fits a little loose. Can use in a pinch, but the 8mm Derwent holder works better.Derwent Museum Aquarelle: About the same.Caran D’Ache Luminance: looser than the previous two – tape to snug them up or pass.Derwent Lightfast: same as the Luminance.Conclusion: great for 7mm round pencils such as the Polychromos. All eight holders worked well with them, and represent a bargain. For 8mm pencils, it’s neither fish nor fowl – just a bit too loose with the wider holder on the double-ended example, and too tight with the narrower holder. If you happen to have 9mm wide pencils, the wider end might be just the thing, but the brands I have aren’t a good match. The double ended extenders are noticeable heavier. You will probably have to take the pencils out to sharpen them.

   I use these to use my colored pencils till the very end. Although these extenders might not fit all pencils, for those they do they are great: lightweight, with a good grip, and at a very convenient price.

   I LOVE these and am ordering another set. I have traditional pencil extenders but the metal portion causes my fingers a lot of discomfort!! But these with the metal barrel don’t. I love the colors the size!! It’s a great value for the amount of extenders you get. They are practically weightless, and have a very comfortable grip. They serve my need very well.

   It took me a minute to figure out lol but they’re great for your smaller pencils. I haven’t had any issues and I thought 8 for the amount of money was awesome.

   I’ve made numerous purchases of the 3 pack versions of this item over the past 5 years. As an artist my materials can get expensive and I prefer to use each pencil as fully as possible down to the last inch if I can.I prefer this design to the old fashioned wood and tin style extender as it holds more securely. And allows the pencil to be even shorter while still being held in place.No, they are not for holding the pencil while in an electric or school style pencil sharpener. To my knowledge no extender does that. Remove the pencil, sharpen however you like (my preference for the short stubbies is a manual handheld Staedtler or Prismacolor sharpener) then back into the extender.While this is my first purchase from this particular seller I will restate the same ratings from prior purchases of this item.It fits everything I’ve put to it from Mirado classic yellow #2 school type pencils; Prismacolor (Premier, Col-Erase, Scholar, and watercolor pencils); Derwent (Studio, Watercolor, and graphite); Woodless graphite pencils; and Sandford Turquoise drafting and drawing pencils.In multiple random purchases I have yet to receive one that does not work as expected.
