How much could you write with a mechanical pencil?
a lot just make sure you have led :D As a mechanical pencil can continually be re-loaded with fresh graphite cylinders, the pencil can be used indefinitely, as long as the mechanism is not damaged... my favourite mechanical pencil has been in my drawing kit (and used almost daily) for twenty or more years.
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)
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
Will pencils become obsolete?
Short answer: No. Long answer: Some forms of pencil will become obsolete, such as the #2 HB that has to be sharpened. People will just switch to #2 HB leads in mechanical pencils.
