Great colors & easy operation!

My kids love the great colors. They are over the boring brown #2 pencil life that they had in elementary school. We do purchase the replacement lead which is easy to handle.

      Comments about BIC® Mechanical Pencils with Assorted Metallic Barrels, .7mm, 24/Pack:

      As often as I lose pencils, this many will last quite a while longer. Being a budget shopper, I purchased these at less than half price.
      As a word of caution, these pencils are NOT ergonomic in any way. Buy pencil grips!

          • Q:

            is the .7mm thicker than the .5mm or does it go the other way

              A:

              Yes, .7mm lead is 0.2 mm thicker than .5 mm lead.

              Answered on 1/19/2011 by Duke from Oak Ridge, TN

            • A:

              Thicker. It's a measurement, not a label that refers to something else. The metric used here is millimeters (mm). The higher the number, the more there is, just like weight or height, or any measurement. Hence, the higher the mm number, the thicker - and more sturdy - the lead.
