mechanical pencil
Lead-advancing writing tool
A mechanical pencil is a pencil with a thin, replaceable lead that advances through a metal or plastic tip, typically by clicking a button.
Unlike wooden pencils, mechanical pencils don't require sharpening and maintain a consistent line width.
Common lead sizes are 0.5mm and 0.7mm.
I prefer a mechanical pencil for drafting.
