The Shift Mechanical Drafting Pencil by Uni is perfect for designers, engineers, and students on the go. Its metal barrel shifts forward and locks to hide the pencil tip when not in use and protects your lead tip from breaking off in your pencil case or bag. It's a practical and portable option for people who are looking for a fine-tipped writing instrument that is also strong enough to withstand whatever you throw at it! The shifting metal barrel is textured for a comfortable grip and looks sleek and well-suited for professional settings.
