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.

The lead is very weak to use when doing math problems. When the lead runs out its best to throw the pencil away instead of trying to take the eraser off the top. Its is useful to use during a scantron exam but f for a test with problems that need to be worked out I would have extra pencils. They were very good before but whatever the company did to reduce costs reduced the quality of the lead pencil.. they come in many different colors and they also come in a bulk so that's good. You don't have to sharpen the pencils because they are mechanical.

        Lead Breakage Common

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

          When the lead is advanced, it goes out too far, which makes it easy to break until it wears down some.

                Didn't know there were one time use mechanical pencils that are not refillable.
                If this pencil is meant to be tossed away when the lead is used up, does it at least have more than a single pencil lead in it?

              • Q:

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

                • 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.
