Love Love Love.
I am one of those people who gets happy over new supplies. When I shop these are at the top of my list. These pencils feel great in your hand and write nicely. The fact that I can reload the lead is a bonus. My daughter started using years as well. Now that they are the only pencils she will use.

Love these but one has a defect
I really like these pencils. This isn't the first time I've purchased this model but decided to buy a few more so I could disperse them in convenient places. But with this purchase I noticed that one of the pencils "act" quite right when you press the button and it doesn't retract all the way.

Love these pencils
I have bought these pencils before and like them very much. I use them at work all the time. The erasers are long and stay soft. Bought more this time; decided to get rid of all the "sharpen-able" pencils by the phones (they always break for me).
