Wonderful!!!
I purchased the Paper Mate Clear Point Starter Set Assorted Barrel Colors with 0.7mm lead in the two pack by Paper Mate for my daughter who is in 8th grade and she loves them. She has used other brands in the past but had borrowed one from a friend and school and has been hooked ever since. There is a nice color selection which bring a girl makes it even better. I perso...

Mechanical Pencils
My kids love using these mechanical pencils and are getting very fussy about which brands they like as many of the cheaper mechanical pencils break easily. They tell me these ones last ages and are very comfortable to write with. Would definitely buy them again.

BRILLIANT PENCIL!
Not all mechanical pencils (or lead) are equal it appears. I was using another brand and then it stopped functioning. Found these for great price AND with additional lead. Ordered. LOVE them. There is a rubber "easy grip" which makes it nice to work with - and the lead flows very easily and seems less inclined to break. Very happy. Definitely recommend.

Best Pencil Ever
Love these pencils. They fill my need for color in a pencil. My kids love the fact that they can change the tops and have colored erasers.

Superb mechanical pencil for school/work
he papermate mechanical pencil is a must have for those who a mechanical pencil to a traditional one. It has a smooth write to it and an eraser that erases to almost complete invisibility. The ridges perfectly placed to fit the contours of your fingers. Gives a good and firm grip.

A SUPER MECHANICAL PENCIL
These have been my favorite mechanical pencils for at least ten years! They are easy and comfortable to use. I particularly like the fact that this never needs to be "sharpened." The white erasers always erase without smearing or leaving black marks on the paper. The fact that the lead may be retracted makes is possible to carry one of these pencils in my purse.

Very Comfortable Mechanical Pencil
This mechanical pencil is comfortable to hold and is smart looking. It writes great. The only con is that when you erase with it the eraser goes down into the pencil and then you have to turn the top to bring it back up again.

Love these pencils!!
I love these pencils!! The pencil grip is easy and the .7mm lead does not break easily. Even though this is .7mm lead it is still a #2 pencil. That is a plus for school children. It is hard to find classrooms with pencil sharpeners. Plus teachers do not like for a student to take away classroom time sharpening lead. I have found these pencils to be a great alternativ...

These are my daughter favorite pencils to use in school. I had to stock back up on them as some have fallen apart after so much use.
