What is better a mechanical pencil or a normal wood pencil?
Of course, a mechanical pencil is better because it has a skinnier lead tip so it makes it much easier to write. Wood pencils have larger, wider tips which wear down easily if you tend to write on a slant. Plus, mechanical pencils last much longer as long as you have lead with you for refills.
How long is a mechanical pencil eraser in inches?
A mechanical pencil or propelling pencil is a pencil with a replaceable and mechanically extendable pencil lead.The eraser is fitted on top of the pencil at the opposite end to the lead.The maximum length of the eraser would be no more than half an inch when new.
What are differences between pencils and mechanical pencils?
Correct Answer:This all depends on how often each is used, and the care given to each.If both are used on a daily basis, the pencil would last longer as the leads within the mechanical pencil would eventually run out before the wooden one would be sharpened down to its eraser.Typically a mechanical pencil holds eight to ten leads in the inner chamber, while one is within the exiting chamber. As this lead comes to its end it will either be used up until the exiting chamber can no longer hold onto it (and the next lead is coming up behind it), or it will annoy the user by slipping back up into the chamber as the next lead has not found its way into the exiting chamber.When the final lead is nearly finished it will either fall on out or continually frustrate the user by slipping back into the exiting chamber. More lead can be bought for a mechanical pencil, which would mean that essentially the mechanical pencil will last longer than a typical wooden pencil.The problem with this theory is that not all mechanical pencils are made the same. Some manufacturers make their mechanical pencils in such a way that they cannot be reused either because the lead is not a typical universal size, they do not manufacture refill lead, and they may not make it possible to even open the mechanical pencil to replace the lead. In any one of these three cases, this makes the standard wooden pencil last longer.The other deciding factor on which will last longer is up to the user. The person using a wooden pencil might chew off the eraser from nervousness adding to the use of an eraser that is not attached to a pencil. In other cases, it could be that the person using the wooden or mechanical pencil might tap it excessively to the point of almost breaking it. Dropping either pencil on a frequent basis can result in permanent damage of the lead inside.Personally, I still own the same mechanical pencil I bought for drafting classes back in high school. That has been 30 years ago. I have been through nearly 100 wooden pencils since then for sketching.- Harold SinkAnswerThe Mechanical pencil would last longer because you can have multiple packages of refill lead but the regular pencil would eventually be sharpened to nothing but an eraser. AnswerA pencil because the mechanical you would run out of led and a pencil you would just sharpen Answerpencil (these answers are really based off of more opinion than fact.)AnswerCalabuka - The answer to this question is dependant to how it is used. You may snap the mechanical pencil and no longer will it work but the pencil (snapped) will. But you can sharpen the pencil all the way to nothing and a mechanical pencil uses refillable led you can buy at the store. This question really depends on how the pencil/mechanical pencil is used. AnswerMechanical pencils always break and the lead is too thin. Good old fashioned regular pencils are the best.zeldaloverit depends. if u wont the base with a lot of led, then macanical. if u wont a ton of sharpening, then a normal pencil

How do you fix a mechanical pencil when you try to press the button and it won't press?
Ok you happen to have the same problem as me... like you know the cone shapes part at the end, you try opening it. then you have to see if there is like a little piece of lead inside and try taking it out. or put long pieces of lead in the pencil like as many as it can take in , then try pressing the button.
Would a mechanical pencil cost less in the long run than a pack of regular pencils?
no
Does sharpie liquid pencils work on scantrons?
No you can only use a #2 pencil. You can also use a mechanical pencil as long as it is .7 led. Your welcome! :)
Which pencil lead is thinner 05 or 07?
Owning both 05 and 07, 05 is thinner. It is more prone to breaking. I have resorted to purchasing only .07 mechanical pencils. And my wife recently brought me a box of mark sense lead, that is only about 2 inches long, but appears to be .144 lead - it does appear twice as thick as .07 - now if only I can find a pencil that uses it!
