I bought these for rewards for the students in my classroom. They loved them and used them everyday in their classes. I wish that it was a bigger package at a lower costs. I would even look at the Staples brand for a better value. When you use them for classroom, you need to have quality and of course value. Teachers are always buying supplies for their classroom. We need a value for our students. We are getting less money for basic supplies like pencils. We are not getting quality sharpers so lead pencils are the choice for many students.

I bought these for my kids to use in school and liked them for myself until I used the eraser. The leads are quality and don't 'squeak' when used. They're the kind that are 'soft' and easy to write with. The eraser however are of poor quality. They leave long remnants and resurface the paper. The eraser residue requires you to 'wipe' it off as opposed to being able to blow it off. Yuck. Even though I got them on sale, I would rather pay a little more and get a quality product from tip to tip.

        i bought these for my son for school. i will also be using them. i use a pencil in my check register to keep track of purchases and they do erase well when i make a mistake there. doesn't tear the pages!!!!they do not tear the pages on my son's homework either. we both like the idea of the lead retracting so it doesn't break off in his backpack/book bag. i like that they don't break off in my purse. regular erasers fit on them and that makes them perfect for my son since he erases a lot and he can replace the erasers as need be.

        • Q:

          The product says disposable, does this mean that you can not add more lead once the lead runs out?

          • A:

            The BIC Matic is not designed to be refilled. It's sealed body and clutch design do not allow lead refill.
