This pencil holds up well. It is comfortable in the hand and the lead doesn't seem to break as easily

Good Value
I bought these mechanical pencils for my 8 year old granddaughter and she likes them! So they must be pretty good.

Metal tip broke
Metal tip broke after the first use :(. These are my favorite. My other one purchased elsewhere so far has lasted several months. I needed refills and thought of buying more will the extra accessories. I would only recommend it because the others have worked well for me.

Convenient with lasting longevity
The larger eraser provides a long lasting capability that is easily accessible through the easy-turn adjuster. With a typicl lead chamber the Clear Point mechanical pencil offers easy loading and several leads to use.

Love it!
I use these pencils for work writing simple notes and for when I write my short stories for my son! I love them! These are the only pencils that I prefer to use and these are the only ones that I LOVE to use! I honestly can't say how easy they are to refill and to find erasers for. I love that the eraser is big and that all you have to do is twist the top for more era...

Let's write
Love the papermate clear point except for the cost. Hard to spend about $7-8 on just a 2 pack of pencils. I am a teacher and don't receive alot of supply money to help with cost of supplies. Writes great and is comfortable to use. :)

Have been using these for over ten years
Use these at both work and home. Have been using them for many years. Are a very nice pencil to use they are comfortable and you can extend the lead or erase with one hand. You don't have to take of caps as with other like items.

Not good for kids
These pencils were the local rage in 4th grade this fall. I spent the money for these "higher end" mechanical pencils. After a week in class the pencil tip won't stay out and the pencil is useless. My son loaned the pencil out for the day and I think it was unscrewed and pieces came out. Probably a nice pencil for someone older but I won't be buying anymore to send to...
