Poor quality
I wish that there was a way to give less than 1 star. These pencils have the worst design. The tips are constantly breaking and eventually the part that holds the lead just falls off. We will never purchase them again or any other pencils by this manufacturer. The only reason that they're gone is because they kept breaking and getting thrown away.

Some flexion with pressure on the pencil
While using the Zebra z grip plastic mechanical pencil I noticed some flexing while using the pencil. Part of the flexing comes from either the plastic barrel or the tube that houses the lead. For me it's enough to be noticeable while writing. I haven't really noticed it with other mechanical pencils maybe because this is the lower end of Zebra pencils that I noti...

Lead Breaks Easily ~
Really disappointed in these pencils. Lead broke with every stroke & there were no replacement lead pieces in the pencil [like many competitors' pencils]. First pencil didn't make it through the first use before I had to throw it away. Please consider another item before spending your funds on these.

Wrong item
This wasn’t the product I had in mind. I was looking for the stainless steel version.

very unhappy
These pencils are by far the worse we've used. Lead breaks constantly.

Zebra® Z-Grip™ Mechanical Pencil .5mm Black Accent Dozen.
Nice disposable mechanical pencil. The Z-Grip is a nice feature. Only con is the barrel is a little too big (wide). I would purchase again.

Remove this pencil of market
I had the same problem with tip of pencil coming apart. Pencil is poorly designed and they should stop selling this particular product.

Great when it works as it should
Used these for years without problems but with the last ones the lead stops advancing when the eraser is pushed. Starts out OK and there is plenty of lead left but it just doesn't work.

Not So Much- DO NOT BUY!
When I first got these it seemed like a great deal. But that was soon realized to be false. So the first 2 pencils were great but on the third one I used (the first 2 I used up the erasers) the tip like wouldn't stay on. And being the typical high school student I am I was in fact unprepared and only had one pencil for this day. So I go to Spanish class and have a Conj...

Not bad as some say
Not bad the lead breaks a little easy but otherwise this pencil is good. Grip is good metal clip does not break...ever. I use it every day for business and personal. My only real complaint is that I cannot find eraser refills.

Terrible Design
How anyone can give this 5 stars is beyond me. Lead breaks every single time the pencil is used with the mechanically set lead length even with light pressure. One must constantly re-adjust the lead length to keep it short enough that the lead doesn't break. Focus should be on work NOT trying to keep your pencil working! Spend a little more and go with a better quality ...

Ok for daily use but a major design flaw
It is cheap... only costs about 1/3 of Pilot G2 pencil (@~[$] each)... you can't really complain much.It features a metal pen clip so it won't just break off like the Pilot G2. It is a great plus to keep it with a planner or a journal.However due to the tip design the lead is really easy to break - you almost have to hold it at a near vertical angle to write smoothly.P...

Avoid like the PLAGUE!!
The grip is fine the price is good but the lead repeatedly breaks off when writing. As soon as you apply the lead to the paper it snaps off! It just doesn't work as a pencil at all. Given that a low price matters not at all! It is also confusing how to refill the darn thing. You really have to pop off the top but that doesn't always work or you get a different part...

Great Pencil
I have been using Z-Grip pencils for about a year now. These pencils are so good that my students were always 'borrowing' my pencil. I went through 24 pencils in 4 months this year.
