A tool used when drawing vertical lines is a T-Square.
A drafting material used for fastening the drawing paper on the drawing table is a Drawing Board Clip.
Type of pencils with extreme accuracy is required are called Sharp Pencils.
Type of pencils used for general purpose in drawing are called Medium Pencils.
Best tool when measuring arcs, angles and circles is a Protractor.
This tool is used when reproducing a drawing in an enlarged or reduced form to some regular proportion is a Scale.

Tool Care
