Best Mechanical Shop Pencil EVER.
Recently, Sam was searching for a good mechanical pencil he could use in his shop. Mainly he was looking for lead that was a little thicker and would not break easily. (This particular Pencil has 2.8 mm lead). He will show you what he discovered- along with some good recommendations for pencils, as well as actually turning a mechanical pencil, lots of good information in this video please enjoy.
