The Top 10
The Top 10 are in alphabetical order, apart for the first two pencils. When compiling the Top 10, the first two mechanical pencils were clearly far ahead of the rest of the pack, they were arguably the best mechanical pencils (for drafting) and deserved to be placed at the head of the list, but after them, the others are all in alphabetical order.

This Top 10 was created by committee vote. Only drafting or technical style mechanical pencils were considered eligible for the Top 10. Some of the pencils are not particularly widely available and you might have to purchase them from a specialist online retailer.
The experts gathered in February 2010 to decide the Top 10.
