Eraser
The eraser lasts about 7 days then it becomes flat to the point where I cant even insert led making it essentially useless.

Great pencil - terrible eraser
I have been using these pencils for years. I love the feel of them in my hand - makes it easy on the hands when doing a lot of writing. Love the smooth writing - even like the look of the fun colors they come in. BUT they have the WORST erasers ever!!! They do not erase, they just make a bigger mess than the mistake I am trying to erase. I get so frustrated with them th...

Mechanical Pencil
These mechanical pencils work fine for awhile but then starting breaking lead causing user to reload pencil with a new piece of lead refill ; the other lead was of sufficient length that it should not have needed replacing so soon and is a total waste of material ; quality could be much better if only a little effort was applied by the manufacturer .

AMAZING I LOVE
I found this pencil on the floor on the first day of school. once I wrote with it I instantly fell in love. recently someone decided to steal my pencil. I cried very hard and have been searching for this pencil. I finally found it and I'm genuinely so happy.

All of the items I bought from Staples are great. I never knew that there are mechanical pencils. They are really great. I always go to Staples because you have everything I need. Thank you.

Overall good.
Overall good, one thing I found kind of annoying is that once the eraser is small enough, you cant take it out of the holder without having to use a paperclip of some sort.

Works great
As one that works puzzles this is the answer. Extra erasers and leads also spare pencils when you lose one.

Great pencil
I was a decades long lover of Paper Mate mechanical pencil - until recently the "lead" has changed and is inferior. (Poor legibility too light scratchy feeling when writing.) I tried these as a substitute (reluctantly) and am very pleased with smoothness and intensity of "lead". Enjoy.

does not damange pockets
It's great to finally have an affordable mechanical pencil that will not punch holes in my pockets or stab my leg. The cost is low enough that I don't have to fuss about misplacing a dozen of these over the course of a year. It's great that it is not so poorly built that I often am left with a broken pencil in my pocket. Thank you BIC. Thank you Staples. Note: for...

great deal for this price!
My company is a limit of $3.00 PER mechanical pencil so this package of 5 is perfect and within their very little limit!

Seems to be a good design and it writes and erases well.
This seems like a good design and so far it works well. I like that the sharp tip is retractable so it doesn't make holes in my shirt pocket. I wish the colors were less bright and I suspect I will run out of eraser before the pencil wears out but otherwise I'm very satisfied.
