<p>I prefer the regular Bic mechanical ones, but my parents bought a bunch of Office Depot brand mech pencils.. so I use those (but with a separate soft eraser)</p>

<p>and I also use papermate occassionally (the pastel color type) but now I'm starting to use the click-pencil papermate ones</p>

62

<p>bic mechanical all the way lol</p>

63

<p>Mechanical is good if you have to write essays, but then pens are better for that purpose.</p>

64

<p>.9 is wayyyyy too much</p>

<p>.5 is teh way 2 go</p>

<p>even for pens</p>

<p>This thread is nerdy in a good way. </p>

<p>I like the Bic pastel colored lead pencils and I use a German eraser (I cannot spell the name of it, it is straedler?! something like that). I also use a pencil cushion because I have tendinitis. </p>

<p>My favorite nerdy thing is to do my schoolwork on graph paper with my lead pencil. I love that and do it for everything, but some University professors do not like graph paper. </p>

<p>Anyone else here like graph paper? I think it is soo neat and it helps my handwriting a lot. </p>

<p>(^ _ ^)</p>

66

<p>I've always been told not to use graph paper for normal use because it's expensive, so I never use graph paper (even for graphing). Even though it's really not that expensive.</p>

67

<p>0.5 leads from Japan.</p>

68

<p>mechanical pencils</p>

<p>but i prefer pens : )</p>

69

<p>Mechanical pencils 0.5</p>

<p>College rule most def</p>

<p>I'll take a pen though.</p>

<p>What an odd topic!</p>

<p>Odd topics are fun.
They guarantee I've never seen them before.</p>

71

<p>Dude, I can break those .5 leads soo easily. I do not see how y'all can use them. </p>

<p>Also, I like this nerdy thread. It is soo cool. Learning about new comfortable things which can enhance your learning experience is kinda neat to me.</p>

<p>ROFL</p>

<p>Just some pencils I bought at Costco. They had like lead and everything with them. And the eraser is pretty tight too.</p>

73

<p>I have one Dr. Grip mechanical pencil and one Dr. Grip pen. Keep refills handy and that's all you need. Though I do prefer to use a big steadler eraser instead of the one that came with the pencil.</p>

74

<p>I can never use a separate eraser, unless of course it is ostentatiously big.</p>

75

<p>I had been using Focus .7 mechanical pencils, but recently go a Papermate Clear Point .7 instead, because it seems sturdier. If I have more than one pencil around at a time, I lose all of them, and each mechanical pencil lasts me at least a semester.</p>

<p>As for pen, I use a Pilot G-2 .5. For linearts, I use a Micron 005 (.2mm). The tip is incredibly sharp and thin.</p>

<p>whichever pencil I have with me at the time :)</p>
