M: I came here for a good argument.
A: No you didn't; no, you came here for an argument.
M: An argument isn't just contradiction.
A: It can be.
M: No it can't. An argument is a connected series of statements intended to establish a proposition.
A: No it isn't.
M: Yes it is! It's not just contradiction.
A: Look, if I argue with you, I must take up a contrary position.
M: Yes, but that's not just saying 'No it isn't.'
A: Yes it is!
M: No it isn't!

The two Koh-i-noors get most use.

did you know that the Wörther Stubby is in fact related to Parker?

The name Parker Stumpy sounds so much better. What on earth is that very thick one? That must be the fattest pencil I've ever seen. The writing has almost completely rubbed off of the side so I can't work it out but the characters left might be either Chinese or Japanese.
Edited to add that the photo from the Parker Stumpy page that christof linked to shows both the Parker Stumpy and the Worther Shorty together. @christof which one is yours? Parker Stumpy or Worther Shorty? I would guess Parker?

What size lead does your pencil take?

Well, I'll be damned. Somehow that seemed like inordinately thin material, but I just took out the micrometer and measured the lead in my Duofold Sr pencil, and it appears to be 0.04". I don't think it is the original lead but it is a good fit with neither play nor binding.

Having recently seen some images showing thicker pencil leads I remembered that I had another pencil that I reviewed some time ago.
It's a Kaweco Sketch Up Brilliant
I haven't seen that around here for quite some time and must have a look around to find it again. I only have the original lead that fits it.

I did a quick comparison of the Parker Stumpy and the Wörther Shorty. In fact, there are tiny differences which makes me think that the Wörther is an economised variant of the Parker:

The Clip of the Wörther is plastic instead of metal and is not spring loaded as the one from Parker

The tip of the Parker has an additional Metal collar to avoid cracks in the plastic (wich is a necessary feature):

...and I made an additional Foto of my other stubby lead holders:

Additional information:
The Parker Shorty was originally designed by the Swiss designer Kurt Süss and manufactured by Parker Pen GmbH, Baden-Baden, Germany

edit: interestingly, the site of IF design award calls the Parker "shorty"...

@christof Thank you for the comparison and the images. There are occasions when I find myself wondering if there is anything you don't have LOL

On the road a fair bit for work so fat leads and short pencils are like to get lost easily. The Graphgear 1000 stood up well even in the heat and humidty: this is why fountain/ballpoints don't work well outsider where there is no aircon. May look at rOtring 800 as a more solid compromise.

Oh please. Absolutely shameless.
Sitting with my usual bowl of khao tom and see this message pop up on my iPhone. How so? It is a mechanical pencil not a status symbol. I landed here after a google query showed this at the top of the list. Didn't expect to get knuckl;es rapped for what tool I was looking at buying. There were 3 candidates, the rOtring 800, the TWSBI precision, and the Pentel Kerry. As one handed operation is preferred the Kerry is out. Leaving the 800 and precision. The latter is lots less money. The former has nurling on the grip. Both have retractible lead pipes, both seem to be made from metal. Colors don't matter. Leaning to 800 on company reputation. Arguments for Precision welcome.
