Pentel .5 mm Quicker Clicker mechanical pencil ~ old style (the ones without those stupid grips). In my opinion, the best mechanical pencil ever made.

I went on a rampage to find one. never could. they also make a quick erase. I was able to find the original of those (which rock too, btw)

I have some Japanese drafting pencil, 0.5mm not 0.3...could be a little more ergonomic, but I love the design, and it's so precise.

I'd have to agree!...soft lead is the best!...well not to write in, to draw in....

Isn't number 4 a harder lead then a #2 pencil. Anyways I like #3 or #4 better then the standard number 2 it just looks so much better not to have this massively dark pencil writing and it ereases better.
