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.

∙ 11y agoAfter using both of those pencils, I would have to say mechanical because it will write and draw better. It will come out smoother and the lead is exact.

Which is more earth friendly a led pencil or a wood pencil?
The mechanical pencil is more earth friendly because to get regular wood pencils,you have to cut down trees. (wood=trees Duhh)
Is a pencil a mechanical mixture?
Yes it is, because you could see more than one substance in it. Wood and The led. and of course the led and wood could be separated. So the pencil would be considered as mechanical mixture
What are the names of the mechanical pencil parts?
Cool question.But the parts of the pencil include:EraserLeadMetal or Plastic Ring that holds the eraserShell, usually made with wood or plastic
When was the pencil patented?
Though the exact date is not known for certain, the year 1565 marks the first record of a pencil consisting of a piece of graphite inserted into a wood shaft, making the first ancestor of today's pencil.
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
