automatic pencil
Self-feeding writing tool
A mechanical pencil—one that advances thin lead through a tube rather than requiring sharpening.
The term is less common than mechanical pencil but means the same thing: I prefer an automatic pencil because I hate sharpening.
The lead advances by clicking or twisting.
