    When I first checked it out, I hesitated because of the unusual shape (to me). I walked around the store with it in hand to try and get a feel for it. Although different than many others, I came to like it. I am glad to have made the purchase. It is in use constantly.

    The lead does not advance when shaken, it breaks off in the pencil. I have had to take both of the pencils apart 3-4 times each to get lead out of them. One of the pencils did not work straight out of the package. Not worth the trouble. I have since bought another mechanical pencil for my child to use.

      Got 3 packs (6 total (so far)) and passed them around to friends at work so they could all enjoy them. I will not be going back to any other mechanical pencils. These things just work too well! Have not had problems with ANY of them!
      I LOVE THEM!

            I used it for test taking (multiple choice, fill in the bubbles) and the pencils worked very well. I didn't have to worry about sharpening a pencil, breaking the lead, or carrying a pencil sharpener. The pencils worked very well and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to friends. Good quality at a very reasonable price.

              Great pencil! Love the way the lead can be advanced 3 different ways... by shaking... by clicking... or just by writing! Lead is thick enough that it doesn't break often! Easy to use!

              • Q:

                How do I reload these pencils? Nothing unscrews that I can see. If I pull really hard I can separate the top from the bottom, but then what? Help!

                  A:

                  As you write, the lead will be slowly released as you shake the pen with your writing motion.

                is the red pencil red lead, or just a red barrell? can I get red lead refills?

                  The color refers to the barrel only. We unfortunately do not carry red lead refills..
