In Israel, the mechanical pencil is also called a Spitzer, a pencil pen, or a Spitzer pencil. It is actually a pencil into which a thin graphite rod is manually inserted. A small part of the graphite rod protrudes from the body of the mechanical pencil in order to write. When the tip wears out, you press a button that brings another small part of the tip out, and so on. The great advantage of the mechanical pencil is that it does not need to be sharpened. This saves valuable time, for example, when writing during a lecture at the university. There is no need to sharpen and clean the residue. On the Ministry's website, you can find a wide variety of high-quality, professional, and easy-to-use pencil pens, and of course, the appropriate refill.
