They work well...
Not my personal favorite but work more then we’ll enough for my son who is younger and needs a thicker lead and risks loss. He has been very very happy.

These pencils make middle schoolers smile!
Bought these for my classroom and are always received with a smile by mechanical-pencil loving 6th graders. After the frustration of ineffective pencil sharpeners these mechanical pencils are terrific!

Great pencil but erasing mechanism is faulty
I love this pencil -- the rubber ridged grip is comfortable and the lead writes really dark. It's almost like using black ink pens but just slightly lighter. However the eraser mechanism is the pits. It "untwists" while you're erasing so you have to hold it in place when erasing. But overall I really like this pencil.

Love this pencil!
This pencil is so comfortable in my hand. The clicker to advance lead is in the perfect spot and the lead is smooth on paper. I recommend these to anyone who like mechanical pencils.

Best Mechanical Pencil
Received one of these pencils as a gift. Loved it and had it for quite a while until I broke it just purchased two more packs of them. They are the best mechanical pencils that I’ve used comfortable to write with carry them everywhere.

Great Lead Pencil
This lead pencil is the best pencil I ever had. It's lead writes dark and clear and is easy to adjust. The eraser is great and is also easy to adjust just by a simple turn
