These pencils are good because the lead doesn't break when you sharpen them(I have some that do this and it is very irritating). I need to fill in several forms for my job and these make my job easier by filling in the forms clearly and darkly with no smudges! Thanks! On my down time, I do crossword puzzles and these erase very cleanly as well.

I am an elementary school teacher. My students use nothing but pencil in class for school work, tests, drawing, etc. I sharpen dozens of pencils a week. I have found, consistently over the last 2 years, that Staples pencils do not sharpen well. The wood sharpens fine, but the lead inside seems to already be broken. I will get the pencil sharpened to a nice point and the lead will just slide right out of the wood. I don't know if the lead is already broken inside the pencil, if the lead is too narrow and cracks because it has room to move, or what. I just know I throw more away than I use. After I sharpen it three times in a row (literally, within seconds) and the lead continues to slide out, I toss it.

    This is a good sturdy pencil. Most of the pencils I purchase for student use does not hold up well. The lead was heavy enough to stand an electric pencil sharpener.

            Comments about Staples® #2 Yellow Pencils, 4 Dozen:

            I bought these pencils for my two kids, both in high school. They are both required to use pencils in certain classes, so they go through a lot of pencils. I'm embarrassed to even be reviewing pencils, but they are so junky, I feel like I can save someone some money and aggravation. These pencils do not sharpen properly. They sharpen unevenly, and the tip is always snapping off in the sharpener. I have a manual sharpener with a winding handle that spins the mechanism inside, and the motorized one that just zips them in and out. These pencils do not sharpen properly in either type. Spend the extra dollar and get the brand name. Sorry Staples, this is one item I will never purchase again.

                Unfortunately these pencils would not carry a forestry certification. We currently do not offer a pencil like this.
