Great product
I received these in time to write out my Christmas cards. They worked well and were easy for these old hands to grip. And I also love them for all my crosswords puzzles. Easy to erase my mistakes. Like the clear barrel on them as well so you can see how much lead is left.

The eraser keeps falling off

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.

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.
