I like the pop-a-point pencils.  When a point gets
worn out or breaks, you just remove the point, stick
it in the back of the pencil, and then a new one
pushes out of the bottom.  There are no metal parts to
rust and they are cheap...just hard to find.  That
being said, I found a box of 50 online for about $15
from some student supply place.  Search on pop-a-point
or pop a point and you should have no problems
locating them..
