It's for you're doing construction.

You need to draw lines on boards and whatnot.

That's why it has thick, soft lead.

It's a manly pencil.

Yeah.

Yeah.

OK.

So the last thing I'll say is that I reached the end of my journey by discovering that you can get lead that's even thinner than the point three millimeter you tried with the graph gear.

Now, you might actually enjoy these because when lead gets that thin, we're talking a fifth of a millimeter.

These look like hairs.

They break way too easily.

You can't put them in a normal mechanical pencil.

They need to have some special protective mechanism.

And so here, I'll give you this one first.

This is called the Pentel Orins, and they're the only people at the moment who sell a 0.2 millimeter lead pencil.

Now, when you look at it, you won't see any lead sticking out.

And that's because the pipe protects the lead and it's got a little bevel on it so that when it touches paper, it moves up a little and exposes the lead.

Oh, see how thin that is.

This is incredibly thin.

That's called the Pentel Orenz, and it has the ability to hold the thinnest mechanical pencil leads being made right now.
