Most Liked Positive Review

Good pencils

I use these pencils often for general classwork, taking notes, homework, etc. They work just as well as more expensive brands of mechanical pencils. The leads provided don't break particularly easily and the writing quality is smooth and easy. The eraser is good and doesn't leave smudge marks. Only problem is that the pencils do not come with soft grips, but you can purchase some separately and attach them. Overall, they're good pencils and they serve their purposes well.

Thought these would do the trick. I don't even use a pencil that often, just for certain tasks that require erasing. Even though I think that I use a fairly light amount of pressure while using this pencil, the lead breaks almost every time. It's almost useless. Yea, I know this lead is .5mm, but even when trying the Staples .7mm brand, the lead still broke, though not as often. The BIC .7mm pencils work the best for me.

Comments about Staples® Mechanical Pencils .5mm, Yellow Barrel, Dozen:

The bright pencils are easy to find when laying around. We were using the pencils on a two-part form on a clipboard. The writing with them was clear to read, but the leads broke constantly for both my friend and I.

Comments about Staples® Mechanical Pencils .5mm, Yellow Barrel, Dozen:

Don't like this pencil. the lead always breaks and the clip holder breaks too. Maybe I'm just putting too much weight on the pencil and bearing down too hard when I write. It is just very frustrating having to push out more lead every 5 seconds. I do like the eraser and fun colors though.
