The pencil lead retracts so it doesn’t leave a stain on my shorts

Love Them!
I use pencils all the time in my classes and with my students. I don't have a sharpener hanging in my classroom so having mechanical pencils are life savers. They are comfortable in my students hands. We love them.

Love it
It's exactly what you'd expect - easy to hold lead is dark and doesn't break easily. And it includes huge replacement eraser. Perfect.

Pencil Geek
I love writing with pencils. And I also like a sharp point. Hence mechanical pencils. These pencils are a good buy. Price is right for two and the grip helps me steady the pencil--writing fatigue. Recommended? Yes.

Reliable pencil with extendable eraser
I always go back to these pencils. The price is getting kind of ridiculous $10 for 2 is to much. I got it on sale or I wouldn't have bought them no matter how much I like them.

Excellent choice!
They both work great! I have already been through 2 of the extra pencil leads! I like the twisty eraser too. You just have to hold it in place while you erase. Would definitely buy again. Worth the money. Good value. I'm a cheapskate!

Not bad for 2 mechanical pencils
Not bad. I can't believe a mechanical pencil costs this much. but I got two. Should last me a lifetime. Don't remember what the first one cost me 60 years ago.
