drafting pencil
Architect's drawing tool
A drafting pencil is a mechanical pencil designed for technical drawing, featuring a thin, precise lead (typically 0.3mm to 0.7mm) that produces consistent line widths without sharpening.
The metal or plastic barrel often includes a knurled grip and a retractable lead sleeve that protects the point and allows drawing against rulers and templates: She loaded her drafting pencil with 2H lead for the blueprint.
