Shoutout to the old school guys who still use a lead holder

Last week at a job site in Tacoma, a younger drafter saw my clutch pencil and called it a 'museum piece'. I've been using the same Alvin 0.5mm lead holder for 15 years. In my view, the feel and weight give me more control than any stylus or tablet. Has anyone else stuck with a tool everyone else says is out of date?

Watched my buddy's vintage lead holder snap a perfect line his tablet kept missing.

My old Koh-I-Noor is still my go-to for sketching, nothing beats that balance in your hand.

Ever tried a modern drafting pencil?
