Pencils
Often the first writing implement we ever use, almost everyone has a soft spot for the pencil. The pencil is an essential tool for every application – whether you are a student, office worker or an art and crafts enthusiast. It is also one of the oldest writing tools in existence, with some estimates dating back 5,000 years.
Benefits of the pencil
Although writing with pens or typing is more commonplace, writing with a pencil has many benefits. Some of these include:
- As erasers are attached, mistakes can be easily corrected
- You can create intricate drawings and shading
- The graphite in pencils is resistant to UV radiation, ageing, chemicals and moisture damage
- Lasts much longer than pens, and;
- Can be used on many different surfaces, including: paper, cardboard, steel, glass and more
