Screw #8. Everyone here including OP missed out on the actual best Zebra mechanical pencil. The Zebra DelGuard.

It has this crazy mechanism that resists lead breakage by dropping a shield down if you press too hard.

They even made limited edition Hello Kitty ones years ago I imported. Best 0.3mm mechanical pencil I've ever used.

Someone do this, but with vibrators.

"you can only write with ONE type of vibrator, ignoring diameter"

#2

We’ve taken way too many things that don’t need to be plastic and made them plastic

Am I a psychopath for preferring to use a pen, even if it means I have to cross things out every now and then?

Number 2 is the only one that can write effectively on wood. I may not build a lot, but when I have tried to use a mechanical pencil for marking wood, it was a total fail.

Nope. You’re getting some decent conversation out of this so those 30 minutes were definitely put to good use. And that’s a nice photo.

My choice would've been 3 or 1 just by how they feel in my hand, but I got a new .3 Kuru Toga and god it's too smooth for me not to choose 4

If you choose #2 you'll eventually not be able to write anything ever again because you can't just add more lead.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I think it's the only type of pencil you can use, not the only pencil.

As in: you can get as many of your preferred pencil as you need, but you cannot use any of the others.

I already own that exact same Kuru Toga, so this one's a no-brainer.

Anyone who deliberately picks the Sharpwriter or the Bic needs keeping an eye on; we need to keep those kinds of people on a list.

Ticonderoga #2, an absolute classic.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 week ago

I'm a pen/pencil freak who's spent an amazing amount of money on them, and I'd choose 2.

#9 : Steadler 925 35-05b. It's my first nice mechanical pencil and it's just so nice to use.

The graphgear 1000 seems great too, I've never tried one tho.

Don’t lose any of the plastic bits on that fucking nightmare.

#3 is the best mechanical I’ve ever owned, hands down. 3 all day long.

How about none of the above? But I kind of like those triangular pencils.

Who writes with a pencil? Drawing.... Okay... But writing is what fountain pens are for.

I prefer 2mm mechanical pencils instead of the 0.5mm ones.

This is the real personality tests, fuck Myers-Briggs and astrology. I need to know your choices for stationary.

No carpenter's pencil?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Staedtler 35-05B but I guess 3 looks closest so I'll take that
