What Wikipedia says

A mechanical pencil or clutch pencil is a pencil with a replaceable and mechanically extendable solid pigment core called a "pencil lead" (), which is often made of graphite and not bonded to the outer casing, thus the user can mechanically extend it, as it is worn away from use.
