 although you can find a HB pencil anywhere, I prefer broader/softer lead, B, 2B, 3B, 4B. \\

+bit of a speciality item, shockingly i've found that anyone will do ....i even have some asian clones of popular models, and they work just fine. - how weird.\\
 ==== mechanical ====
+im torn here, many people like/use mechanical pencils because they dont have the inconveiences of a wooden pencil, however i find them annoying and scratchy to write with. i much prefer the 0.7 size for general duties, but 0.5 appears the industry standard. there are also differnces in the clutching or lead advancement and releasing of the lead, as well as the sleave guide. \\
+\\
+for techincal design work mechanical pencils really shine. accuracy of 0.3 and 0.5 , deliver consistent lines, and metal guide ensures good contract with drawing aids, and limits breakage.\\
+\\
+my ideal has 0.7, retacting guide, and some shock absorbtion.\\
+\\
+the bic quantech that i found on the road has exacly these features. cheap, strong and normal looking. mainly silver plastic, with a touch of chrome on the grip. writes very well and lead hard to break. - however i think they have been discontinued.\\
+\\
+faber-castell tk fine 9715, entry level tech drawing model, made in Germany, boring, works. i find as a writter im snapping lead all the time. dark green only, stainless highlights, retractable sleave.\\

+more in progress.
 ===== Pens =====
+everyone has them, everyone knows them, you would think it would be a really long list.... but it seems stationary manufactures still have trouble making a well constructed pen body, paired with reasonable ink.\\
+several more pens would be on this list, however annoyannce suchas bodies cracking, leaking ink, poorly machined seams, clunky retracting mechanism, clips that break, and lids that dont post. - really!!! \\
 ==== BallPoint ====
+ballpoints aren't cool anymore, however they are cheap, work anywhere, and very long lasting\\
+\\
 bic crystal - FR - the classic biro, surely the worlds most accessible pen, it just works. it's so cheap you'll have them all over the place. still made in France, and come in a range of colours and nib sizes.\\

 caran dache 849 - CH - alternative to a jotter.. understated class, just imagine a swiss banker. love it. harder to get, not cheap. some might even say poor value, and the larger 'goliath' refills are limitted - but its a real sleeper, and there are many variants, designer colabs, and seasonal versions.  - but it is truely swiss made.\\
