Lead not dark enough for me.
This set of mechanicals pencils lead is not as dark as I need it to be. I am returning to the store. I am disappointed.

Good but could be darker
Love the whole concept of replaceable leads AND erasers. The mechanics work well and I like the colors of the pencils. However for a .7mm lead it sure produces a light skinny script. I would hate to see what the .5mm looks like! I would like to see a thicker darker line.

Keeps jamming
Need I write more than "Keeps Jamming." I'll put in new lead and if it still happens I'll return it.

Great little pencil
Firm writing point no breakage of lead. Like the button on the side to advance lead.

PAPER MATE MECHANICAL PENCIL WITH LONG LIFE ERASER
The paper mate mechanical pencil is the best pencil I've ever used. It has a long life eraser wich is many times longer than the typical 1/4" eraser. My granddaughter was with me when I bought a sert so I bought her a set too. Take a look. You'll love it.

mechanical pencils
I have one of these pencils already and I love the grip. My local store closed and there was a huge savings on the 2-pack of pencils. It was a good deal and good to keep around.

My go to pencil
These are my favorite pencils. I have them all over the house. After a few years the rubber grip tends to come loose and peel off so I replace the whole pencil. I haven’t thrown the rest away (they end up as doubles in drawers) because they are still so sturdy.

Mechanical pencils
I love love love these pencils; from the way the lead advances to the grip! My only thought of distaste are the extra leads... 6? 6 whole leads?? But I didn't buy it for the leads so YAY.
