Mechanical pencils are nifty tools for students and artists who can't be bothered with sharpening wooden pencils.
We'll show you the coolest mechanical pencils that have innovative mechanisms to protect lead, dispense lead, rotate lead, and more.

When you use the Zebra DelGuard, it's virtually impossible to break lead.
It has a two-part system that works in different scenarios to protect your lead.
When the pencil senses pressure vertically,
a spring absorbs the pressure and allows the lead to slide back into the pencil instead of breaking.
When there is sideways pressure, a pipe slides out to guard the lead and prevent it from breaking.
The DelGuard comes in three lead sizes, three body styles, and several colors.
You can choose from the Standard model, the Type-Lx model, and the Type-ER model.
The Type-ER also has an innovative eraser that extends from the top cap automatically when you turn the pencil upside-down.
When you turn it back around, it drops effortlessly back into the cap.
How cool is that?
Platinum's OLEeNu is another pencil specifically made to protect lead from breaking.
Like the DelGuard, the OLEeNu has a spring that absorbs shock,
and a pipe that slides out to protect the lead.
But we've saved its best feature for last.
Its double-clutch mechanism lets you use up every last bit of lead.
Well, almost.
In regular mechanical pencils, 10-12 mm of lead are usually unusable because the clutch-mechanism is placed too far from the tip.
With OLEeNu's double-clutch system, you can use the lead up until it's 0.5 mm long.
Just make sure you have a second piece of lead in the pencil behind the smaller piece.
The OLEeNu comes in three models: the Standard, Shield, and High-Grade.
It is only available in 0.5 mm.
With just a simple shake, the Tombow Mono Graph Shaker mechanical pencil dispenses lead effortlessly.
It's a seamless way to extend lead.
There's no more need to let go and regrip your pencil each time you need lead.
You can also advance the lead the usual way by clicking down on the clip.
When it's time to put your pencil away, you can lock the shaker mechanism by pushing the clip upward,
so it doesn't accidentally dispense lead in your bag.
The Tombow Mono Graph Shaker is available in two sizes and multiple colors.
Another innovative lead advancement system is the bend mechanism in the Tombow Olno Body Knock.
The name Olno comes from the Japanese word "oruno", which means bent.
Like its name suggests, this mechanical pencil is bendable.
When you need more lead, simply bend the pencil body in any direction and voila!
You have more lead without repositioning your pencil.
Of course, you can also extend the lead the conventional way by clicking the top button.
The Tombow Olno comes in 0.5 mm and a variety of fun color combinations.
The Uni Kuru Toga always stays sharp.
Its advanced lead rotation system eliminates two common problems in mechanical pencils.
First, gradual dulling of the lead, which leads to blurred writing.
And second, the dreaded chisel tip that is easily broken.
Every time you lift the Kuru Toga, it rotates the lead slightly, creating a perfectly shaped conical tip.
The result is clean, crisp writing.
We cover all the models in our Kuru Toga blog post, linked to in the card.
The Pipe Slide and Advanced models feature an even faster auto-rotation system than the standard models,
perfect for people who don't lift their pencils as often.
Both models have a sliding lead sleeve that protects the lead as you write.
