I am in high school and have a school bookstore, which is how I happened upon these pencils. I love using them. I bought five at the beginning of the school year and am still using them now, in February. I use the pencil to take notes in all my classes, which requires a lot of writing, and to take tests, so the pencil's lead capacity is solid. One of the best qualities of this pencil is that the grip is EXTREMELY comfortable, made out of some sort of squishy plastic material. My only critique of this pencil is that when erasing, it does smudge a bit. However, this eraser works quite well and usually can correct the problem. Overall a great pencil for students who need to take notes or anyone who needs a long-lasting, durable, comfy pencil to use! :-)

I liked that it was inexpensive and came with extra lead and it looks nice. That is why it is not worth my time to return it. It looks nice and works ok except the little shroud tip that fits into the tip fell out and I will likely lose it sometime. This makes the tip weaker and unstable. Go ahead and pay a little more and see if the quality improves.

    Comments about Paper Mate® Comfortmate® Ultra Starter Set Mechanical Pencils, .5mm, 2/Pack:

    It worked great and felt easy to use. the lead seems to break easily if yu apply the slightest pressure hough, which could become a hassle to anyone who writes fast and tends to be a little abrasive when they are holding a pencil. the soft cushion grip that surrounds the pencils feels very nice though, considering the weak pressure it can ressist. Overall, the pencil is an interesting buy since it comes with 2 mechanical pencils, as well as, extra eraser edges that can be used on other pencils.

      Comments about Paper Mate® Comfortmate® Ultra Starter Set Mechanical Pencils, .5mm, 2/Pack:

      Hoped this would end the discomfort in my hand from taking notes for a long period; it didn't. In fact, it seemed to be worse than previous pencils. The metal clip dug into my skin, and the cushioned barrel didn't provide the cushion where I needed it. In addition, the 0.5 mm lead did not appear to be any neater/cleaner than any 0.7 mm pencil. Though the lead resisted breakage, it was constantly dull. I exchanged this set for a UniBall Kuru Toga pencil, even though the UniBall costs a bit more. To me, writing with the UniBall was superior enough that I even went back and bought a second. The Staples coupon made it 50% off, and well worth the extra two bucks.

        Good, simple pencil. I hate sharpening regular pencils. I just click the button and I get more lead. It was the cheapest at the Staples store. Awesome!
