Good Pencil

I use these pencils to take notes during school, but I have to refill them quickly. I tend to press harder when taking tests so these pencils are impractical during test-taking circumstances, as the pencil may run out of lead just when you need it most. The pencil works well for note-taking, because highlighter glides smoothly over the writing and the lead from the pencil won't fade from the page like many competitors will. This pencil is a mixed bag, you just have to decide what YOU personally want out of a pencil.

I ordered it mainly because I needed a color different than black, thinking that if it says assorted, I will get at least one other color. Both pencils came in black. Called and reordered it, it came again in black. [...] At the end, I just gave up hoping to get what I wanted.

Comments about Pentel Twist-Erase® III Automatic Pencils .5mm, Assorted Colors, 2/Pack:

I have yet to find the perfect mechanical. I've tried many different types and brands. I keep coming back to the Pental Twist-Erase. I like how long the eraser rubber is; on some brands the eraser is just too small. I don’t want to deal with a separate cap. The grip is comfy. It’s easy to extend more lead by squeezing your thumb against the barrel and compressing it. You don't have to reposition your grip to extend the lead. Reliability is average. They don't last for ever. They are sensitive if you drop them on the tip, if you do they never work right again. I keep a few of them on hand and when they stop working satisfactorily pick up a new one.

As a person who does a lot of writing using both pen and pencil I can not say enough about the way this pencil writes I have recommended this pencil to co-workers and my high school kid. He inturn recommends them to his friends. We both will use nothing else.

My favorite pencil. Having the eraser built in and adjustable, is a great plus.
I have a difficult time keeping people from stealing it.
