This is the best blend of mechanical pencil and regular pencil. It eliminates the cons of both pencils: running out of lead for the mechanical and always needing sharpening for the regular. My friend let me borrow one of hers in my Sophmore year of high school and it's the only pencil I've used since. I'm now a Senior in high school.

Comments about Paper Mate® Sharpwriter Mechanical Pencils .7mm, Yellow Barrel, Dozen:
I've used these mechanical pencils for 25 years. It outclasses all other mechanical pencils, including very expensive models in terms of quality of lead hardness, blackness, erasability, and resistance to lead breaking.
Comments about Paper Mate® Sharpwriter Mechanical Pencils .7mm, Yellow Barrel, Dozen:
I am a school teacher. I utilize these pencils in the classroom. I also recommend them for my students. It seems that the pencil sharpeners never/rarely work well in the classroom. With these pencils students don't have to get out of their seat to sharpen pencils, lead doesn't fall out on the floor, erasers are well made and stay on the pencil! Great product! P.S. My husband (also a teacher) uses them, too!
