Love these paper mate pencils
I've used these pencils for many years but could not find them until I checked Quill. I used to purchase from Quill when I worked in an office and made supply purchases and have always been satisfied with Quill.

Inferior
Item totally unsatisfactory. Lead breaks too easily and - if it doesn't break it falls back inside. It may have been a good product in the past but no more.

Used to be better
The lack of staff combined with a redesigned floor plan adds noticeable time to my shop.

Your prices are way too high. I don’t know how you stay in business.

Lower Quality
These pencils have always been preferred at our office but this latest box seems to be a cheap knock-off version. The color is off the erasers seem cheap and they do not write as smooth. Hopefully these are just a bad batch and Paper Mate will go back to the previous high-quality style pencils.

They’ve changed!
This has been my IT pencil for years. Unfortunately they’ve recently change a lot and not for the best. They feel and look cheap the lead is new but horrible buy a box of 30 and only 10 pencils will work. The led wont come out when twisting and if they do they go right back in when when writing. I am disappointed at this new change took me years to find the perfect...

Adam Savage approved!
In a recent YouTube video by Adam Savage (from Mythbusters) he mentioned these as his favorite mechanical pencils. So I thought I'd give them a try. 👍

Paper Mate SharpWriter: my favorite mechanical pencils
These are worth the extra money because the lead doesn't break easily and the erasers work without leaving smudges.

Mechanical Lead Pencils
I've been buying these for years and am very pleased with them. PS: Thanks for the Rewards I receive for bringing in my used ink cartridges. My Rewards paid almost all the cost of these pencils. Can't beat that!

The lead keeps sliding back down the barrel.
I have to keep advancing the lead because the lead keeps sliding back down the barrel.
