Drafting Pencil Styles & Advantages:
- Wood pencils are typically inexpensive with a big selection of lead hardness but need sharpened causing them to vary in drawing length and weight.
- Lead holder pencils with chucks remain one size, lead is refillable, wide range of lead choices, but require points to be sharpened.
- Mechanical pencils do not need sharpened, remain one size, and lead is refillable, but are more expensive and have a limited lead selection.
