Papermate mechanical pencil
I bought this set for college. It erases well and it is a bonus that it is a number 2 pencil. It comes in three sizes so I can get one for different applications.

Mechanical Pencils
I have used Mechanical pencils when I was working which has been 11 years and enjoyed using them. For the last 10 years I have been using the regular "lead" pencils and when the point wears down I need to sharpen it right away. I hate dell pencils. I decided to go back to the Mechanical pencils and looked over all the pencils on display. Quite a variety!!! This parti...

Dog likes them as much as we do.
These pencils are the best no rivals in the mechanical pencil category. Finicky writers who have to have a sharp point at all times will love them. The colors are decent although you don't have much of a choice in on-line ordering. I wish they were available in packs of 12 or more. We always order them with the extra erasers and leads which last for ages but the dog...

Paper Mate pencils
My middle school daughter only wants to use these pencils. I have to order many of these since she started using them. When I needed to order pencils for work I decided to give them a try. I agree with her they are a great pencil to use. They also look nice and come in different colors which is nice. We will keep these on hand at home and at work.

Middle school favorite
My daughter asked me to purchase these pencils for to to take to school. I thought the price was a bit high at first but she loves them. She uses the interchangeable erasers and likes the feel of a heavier pencil.

Best pencil for the $$ EVER
My daughter is a complete pencil snob since she does a lot of writing for school. I have been buying these pencils for a few years now and hating the fact that they are SO expensive. This last time I had to buy pencils I decided to check staples online and found that the pencil gods were smiling. Not only did Staples.com have the pencil I needed for my daughter but th...

I use this product at both home and work. This pencil fits great in my hand very comfortable. I also love the colors to choose from. The fact that it is refillable also makes it cost effective. I have had the same pencil for over two years. This is amazing for me!
