I usually write in pen, only reason I'd use pencil is if I know I need to erase.
So... #5 I think. Simple, reliable, easily replaced.
(ingoring the diameter)
Apparently!
You can pry my Twist-Erase from my cold dead arthritic hands.
Number 7. A pleasure to write with, cheap enough so you don't get mad when you lose it. Eraser that doesn't suck.
Pocket clip does tend to shear off, though.
Mine isn’t here, but 8 if I have to choose.
I really think I like GraphGear 500 more than 1000. I do not like Kuru Toga. Right now I am all in on Ohto.
Kuru Toga Advance please.

I've also used 4 and 8 which are both decent.
#6 is the closest to what got me through dozens of blue books.
Pentel Twist-erase 0.7 is the proper answer.
6, which I guess is pretty similar to my pick for number 5 on the pen post. Looks like the weight and style would feel best in my hand. Sadly none of them have my favorite feature of having fairly long and good quality erasers on it like my current favorite (non imported) mechanical pencil. Can't remember the name off the top of my head

I really like 4.
Mainly for the reason that it auto rotates the pencil lead every time you lift it off the page; thus preventing flat spotting your handwriting
I spent way too much time hunting down a Pilot Automac and finally got it. being stuck with anything here would be such a stark downgrade
Alvin DM07. No other, maybe #3 because I liked that the lead automatically rotated on each press. But Alvin all the way.
#3 for the always-sharp tip, but #4 is a close contender for the protection against snapping lead. (I own both of these pencils.)
