      Yeah but with mechanical pencils you can buy one and have it for years, only just buying the occasional pack of leads… Saves the trees ¯_(ツ)_/¯

      #1 is all metal. Retractable tip. Bought one after Adam Savage reviewed them.

      #2 is definitely the best long-term option, but it’s really nice not to have to constantly sharpen while you’re doing some intricate work.
