I have a nice eraser motor drive system. Great in the shop.

I would probably switch out to one of my drafting pencils but my wood
supplier gives me wooden pencils, these are actually great pencils

only used about 4 in the past 3~5 years. The leads don't break on
these wooden pencils. ;~)
IMHO if you can't sharpen a pencil you cant get a fine enough point
for certain marks, .7mm is not fine enough for me much of the time.
Use an xacto knife.
I consider a pencil sharpener an essential shop tool. They cost no more
than $20, and I love the manual "school" style (Based on the Boston L)
myself. I often use it when the pencil gets dull, just a quick little
twist or 3 and the pencil's ready to use again.
I have an old electric Panasonic sharpener in the shop.
