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.

LONG-LASTING FUNCTIONAL TOOL
When working with an ever-changing calendar this pencil makes my life so much easier! We order these pencils by the dozen; we have several office assistants who now use them; we appreciate the quality the durability and the fact that when you have to erase anything it is so easy; no fuss no muss. This is a great product!

PaperMate - Mate for Life
This pencil is perfect - I like the fact that you can create your own colored combo with the assorted barrel parts - make the pencil as unique are you feel.

Awesome bought it again!
This mechanical pencil has been faithfully by my side for years and I mean years. I had to buy another one because I realized the other one had a crack probably because it was stepped on. I got the two-fer the package with two one green and the other pink. The lead writes perfect and the grip on it is so comfy. Doing all those math problems with this mechanical penc...

Good quality pencils
I think that sometimes mechanical pencils can be a little too expensive. These are such a great quality for a low price. Definitely a recommended buy.

Reliable and comfortablmechanical pencil
I bought this pencil when I realized that I had no pen or pencil on me and I wasn't in my offic or near home. I ran into a Staples store and walked through the aisles debating what to get.
