I was running low on .07 mechanical pencil lead so I got some at Staples. Good job staples!

Not the best quality....
The little metal tip broke off of two out of the three in the package. I will not be purchasing this product again.

Paper Mate Clearpoint Mechanical Pencils No. 2 Medium Lead 2/Pack
Nice mechanical pencil. Works smoothly and easy to hold. Would have liked it to have a darker imprint but otherwise a fine writing instrument.

Granddaughter Loves them
My granddaughter thinks these are the best mechanical pencils. They seem to work just fine for her and that's all that counts.

Weird finger grip
The holder section of the pencil is so uncomfortable I can’t use it. It will be returned if possible after the current circumstances are eased. I don’t recommend it for small hands.

PaperMate Clearpoint Mechanical Pencils
Would definitely recommend these pencils over BIC Velocity Mechanical Pencils... with its clear cover over the eraser. With BIC small clear cap is easily misplaced and as eraser gets shorter it's extremely difficult to remove eraser to add new lead refills. Neither is an issue with the PaperMate!!

Great pencil!!
Excellent pencils. Work well and don't retract as you write. .7 lead doesn't break as easy as .5. These colors also make them stand out from other writing implements.

Love these pencils
This is my "go to" pencil. When I have a choice I would prefer to use one of these mechanical pencils rather than one that needs to be sharpened frequently. The lead is smooth and the eraser is excellent. I do have to hold my hand over the bezel as I erase so the eraser doesn't screw down inside the pencil shaft but I know that what I erase will not leave a ghost l...

good quality mechanical pencils
I like having a sharp #2 pencil in my pocket ready to go and it does not make a mark on my shirt. I especially like to se how much of the lead is left.
