Mechanical Pencil

This is the best mechanical pencil I have ever used. It has a metal sleeve that covers the lead and lets you press as hard as you want without breaking the lead. The sleave retracts, though, along with the lead as the lead is worn away as you write. I have been using one for years and have yet to find anything better. I prefer using it to pens.

At $10 to $12 it is more expensive than a lot of the cheapee plastic mechanical pencils you will see in the writing instrument isle at your local office supply store, but it is well worth it. It has a very nice well-made feel to it. If you get one, though, be forewarned that you will never want to use any other kind of pencil again.
