A mechanical pencil is a pencil that does not require sharpening. Instead of a wooden casing surrounding a graphite core, mechanical pencils use a mechanism to advance the lead as it's used. Simply press the button on top, and you're ready to write or draw.
They come in various sizes, typically with lead thicknesses of 0.5mm, 0.7mm, or 2.0mm, each suited for different purposes — from technical drawing to everyday note-taking.
The Advantages of Mechanical Pencils
1. No More Sharpening Mechanical Pencil
One of the biggest annoyances with traditional wooden pencils is the need to constantly sharpen them. Mechanical pencils eliminate this hassle entirely. Just load in a new lead when needed, and you're good to go.
