    Oh, that’s a good point! I’ve had the same mechanical pencil for the past four years.

      I still have the same mechanical pencil I bought over in Germany during a student exchange in 1988. Absolutely bulletproof, and - as typical - I didn’t see it’s thumb-click design (lead advancer right behind the tip, where the thumb usually sits when writing) being sold in North America until about 10-15 years later.

      I’ve got some mechanical pencils from 8 years ago.

      Granted I hardly use them now, but they served me well as daily drivers for the first 5. They’re the shaker kind too!
