Mechanical Pencils No. 2 Medium Lead 3/Pack
I like these pencils. They are comfortable and firm to hold. I prefer the 0.5 lead and not having to sharpen them. Unfortunately one of the pencils would not advance the lead. I returned the package and received another with no issues.

The only pencils I will write with
I was not blessed with neat handwriting by in my career, I have many people reading my work and I am judge on how neat my handwriting is. I am almost 30 years old so it is not practical to try to improve my handwriting, instead I use these pencils. I love the 0.7MM lead because it is small enough to stay neat but also bold enough when it needs to be. I like that the era...

Love these pencils!
These are now my favorite pencils. They are so comfortable in the hand and write so smoothly. The eraser is nice and the extra erasers and lead are really nice and make sure the pencils will last a long time. I am very happy with these.

Good ~ Says what it is
Have bought these pencils many times and really like them ! The grip part is comfortable when using then just move your thumb back a bit to add more lead. The eraser does retract on one stays out fine on the other.

Perfect for office and drawing
I do a lot of drawing and sometimes simple drawing works well with mechanical pencils. These are comfortable and easy to put new led in as well as erasers. They draw nicely and don't destroy the paper. I love that it comes in a pack so I have extras.

My Favorite Mechanical Pencils
These pencils have been my favorites for a couple of years. I love the metal (not plastic) clip that doesn't break. I also love how it comes with extra supplies of erasers and lead.

Best mechanical pencil I have ever used!
I was very delighted with this product. The best mechanical pencil I have ever used. Very smooth writing and easy loading and operation. It doesn't break off the lead and lasts a good while. Will be purchasing more in the future.

A great pencil
This is a good quality mechanical pencil. It is my favorite pencil to use now. I wish I would have known about these when I was in college. And it is a bonus to also get extra lead and erasers with them.

My new favorite pencil
This paper mate mechanical pencils are awesome, the functions are totally new. For example the upper part of the pencil twist back and forward to access the eraser, and it also has a push button in order for the graphite leads to show or hide every time you need it. I really like the clear barrel, because you can see the full mechanism and also looks cool, very sophisti...

Nice pencils
These pencils are great. I like that they have longer erasers than other mechanical pencils and they also come with eraser refills. Which is another plus. They write great and have a nice grip on them to make it easier to hold onto. They also come with extra lead refill. There definitely worth getting, especially if you're going to be writing a lot, like for school.

Writes and draws great~
This is a very comfortable writing and drawing pencil. Works super nice when doing a sketch out of the blue...I love doodling/drawing. The extra erasers are a definite bonus. And the lead doesn't break easily.
