A kind person on this board mentioned about buying an 8 mm mechanical pencil to put the marking chalk refills in.

I have looked at the local stationary stores and all I can find are .5mm, .7 mm and even a 1.3 mm

Will the chalk refill fit in the .7 or is there really a .8 mm version out there?

I only know of .05 .07 .09 for lead refills. I know that there is a larger grease pencil that holds a refill that is almost the size of the tip of a new crayon. I want to say it is lyon brand but not sure. Google office supply- grease pencil holder or chalk holder

what chalk is .8, i know sewline is .9 and i had a heck of a time finiding cheap mechanical pencils to buy the refills for but finally found 1 at staples, so was glad did nt pay a fortune for the regular pencil for each color

I did a little more searching. The China Marker/Grease Pencil holder is made by Listo not Lyon.
