Get your hands on this Japanese "shaker" pencil. Just shake the pencil and the internal weight mechanism extends the lead for you! No need to click (though pencil includes this feature)! As one of the most popular shaker pencils, the Pilot 2020 combines affordable price with function.
See shaker pencils in action in the following JetPens.com TV video!
I got this pencil from my gf and it is freaking awesome. She was complaining
about how cruddy my handwriting was from using those fat dr.grip mechanical
pencils so she gave this to me and I have been using it ever since. It is pure
awesomeness :D

I like the way the pencil is compatible for those of you who are in high school
and your teachers speak very fast in the way you could just shake it. The grip
is still okay, but if you push too hard on it, you could get the imprint on
your fingers. :P Overall, the pencil itself is OK, the grip is kinda annoying
still.
At first i had a hard time taking the cap off. The plastic blue part on the cap
came off and went back on fairly easy so i didnt break it, whew. But it took me
a while to get it off so i could refill the lead. The shaker okay but i prefer
the dr. grip shakers, they use less effort to shake. The grip is rubber but its
still hard, not as soft as the dr. grips. its an okay pencil but isnt
comfortable for me to write with for long periods.

I first used this pencil a couple of years ago when my uncle gave me one from
Japan. I liked the pencil instantly and was afraid to use it at school because I
was scared of losing it. I think this pencil is best suited for people who like
thin mechanical pencils and do not need a cushy grip. While the grip is not the
best ever made, it is comfortable enough and can be used for extensive periods
of time. I personally like the spring near the eraser of the pencil because it
feels like it gives a powerful push to the lead every single time its pushed
down on. And this was before I found out what the spring in the middle of the
pencil was for! The shaking ability made possible by that middle spring comes in
handy especially when you're busy jotting down thoughts and are too busy to
reposition your hand to advance the lead.
