    Have you tried an auto rotating mechanical pencil?

    Other mechanical pencils suck because you get a flat side on the lead. An auto rotating one fixes this problem and makes it like new everytime you pick up and put down the tip to write.

      …for fine drafting, rotation is the last thing you want: that chisel-tip is precious, lead holders are love, lead holders are life…

        I own far too many rotoring products for someone who does not draft. their lead holder is significantly better than the others that I have used.

      Oh man reading the previous comment instantly reminded me of this problem I haven’t had any encounter with since I left high school. I’ve never heard of that, but if I ever had any reason to write anything I would love it to be one of these.

      The only writing I’ve done in YEARS is signing my name on screens at doctor offices and pharmacies.
