Mechanical Pencils

Mechanical pencils, the unsung heroes of the 90s schoolyard—where clicking them in class was the original fidget spinner. Remember the panic when your lead snapped during a test? Or the secret art of disassembling and reassembling them under the desk? These bad boys were more than just writing tools; they were a status symbol, a barter currency, and sometimes, a small-scale engineering project. If you didn't jam the lead at least once, were you even paying attention? Mechanical pencils weren’t just essential; they were a lifestyle.
