High quality $12 drafting pencil

Given how much time so many people spend using pencils it's strange that few of us "invest" in high-end ones.

My usual rationale for not doing so is I am very likely to lose it before getting my value out of it.

The last time I tried to invest in a pen, finding one that would securely hook onto a long dogtag chain attached to my personal schedule / notebook weighted a lot higher than quality.
