Drafting tools are instruments that can be used for measurement and layout of drawings or to improve consistency and the speed for creating standard drawing elements.

Also called a lead pencil, is a type of pencil in which a thin graphite core is embedded in a shell of other material. The pencil shell is typically wooden, but can be made of plastic or recycled paper. This pencil has a graphite grading scale which can range from 9H (Hardness) up to 9B (Blackness)Also called a lead pencil, is a type of pencil in which a thin graphite core is embedded in a shell of other material.

Technical pen is a specialized instrument used by an engineer, architect, or drafter to make lines of constant width depending on the needs for architectural, engineering, or technical drawings. "Rapidograph" is a trademarked name for one type of technical pen. A bit expensive from a standard pen

A pencil with a plastic or metal case and a thin replaceable lead that may be extended as the point is worn away by twisting the outer casing.

It provide lines of constant width without sharpening in technical drawing and in quick, neat writing. They have also been used for fine-art drawing. Since they do not have to be sharpened, they are also very popular with students.

A technical drawing instrument that can be used for inscribing circles or arcs. As dividers, it can also be used as a tool to step out distances, in particular, on maps. Compasses can be used for mathematics, drafting, navigation and other purposes.A technical drawing instrument that can be used for inscribing circles or arcs.

A measuring tool used to create and measure angles, it comprises a semicircular disk graduated in degrees—from 0° to 180°. This instrument, called a three-arm protractor, or station pointer, is composed of a circular scale connected to three arms

A T-square is a technical drawing instrument used by draftsmen primarily as a guide for drawing horizontal lines on a drafting table and establishing a horizontal reference on the drafting board. It may also guide a set square to draw vertical or diagonal lines.

A triangular scale is a ruler that has a 3-lobed cross-section with 6 different types of scales on the edges (2 on each face) used for measuring and preparing scale drawings such as blueprints and maps. It is also called an architech's scale.

A pencil sharpener is a mechanical gadget used for sharpening pencils. Pencils get dull while they are used and its core shortens, so a pencil sharpener shaves the casing and the core of the wooden pencil until it shapes the point. It can be operated manually or by an electric motor

A triangle is a drafting tool used to draw accurate parallel lines, vertical lines, and other angled lines. Generally, two right-angled triangular pieces of differing angles form one set. You can draw lines at 30°, 45°, 60°, and 90° angles. You may also use a triangle in tandem with a T-square.

An eraser shield is a thin sheet of stainless steel or plastic with slots and holes of different shapes. They are designed to allow erasers to be used through them to erase lines and text without removing lines close by which do not need to be (or should not be) erased.

Drafting templates are stencils that allows you to draw specific symbols and shapes that you use repeatedly in a design. They're made out of a flat piece of plastic that have these shapes cut into them, and they act as guides on how they can be drawn on plans.
