Pentel graphgear with good quality lead works well. 0.5mm if you’re careful, 0.7 if you’re not.

Alternative is a clutch pencil, or just a regular pencil in something like a 2H
Another vote for pentel graphgear!
I'm a design engineer and I haven't used a pen for work in 7 years. This pencil has been with me for 4 and I just love it for work and woodworking.
 
I recently found out that "real" carpenters pencils were deliberately sized at 1/2" wide by 1/4" thick, so they could be used for (albeit rough) measurements.

Well, someone should tell whoever makes the Aldi Workzone jobs, 'cos they ain't!
