Best pencils!
These are my absolute favorite type of pencil. Love the convenience of the click button on the side to get more lead. Also love how long the eraser can last since it was be twisted up to get more. The color is super cute too.

Great Pencils
Really nice mechanical pencils. My two favorite features are that the lead dispenser button is on the side rather than the top and that the eraser is actually decently long. The dispenser button through me off at first but I found that I never accidentally clicked it which often happened while erasing things with other designs. The eraser is very long and twists up s...

Amazing pencils!
These mechanical pencils are fantastic! They come with extra erasers and lead. I love the twist design for the eraser and the push button for the lead puts out just the right link to use for writing. I love these pencils!

Great pencils!
I've had these pencils for about 3 weeks now and they're great. The lead is very smooth when writing. I hate that scratchy feeling and sound from other brands but these do not do that at all. They are very easy to refill and comes with plenty of refills, lead and erasers. My nephew also loves this kind for school work.

Good mechanical pencil
Good overall pencil, writes well and is smooth. Comes with a ton of lead for long usage. Erases clearly, without the smudge! Worth the purchase. And you'll get enough pencils to last awhile. Thank me later

Works great!
Love the style of these clear led pencils and the teal detail. They work great, I have not experienced any problems with them. Super easy to add more led and the erasers are pretty long and easy to change. Very comfortable to use.

My absolute favorite mechanical pencils
These are the best mechanical pencils. I love the design and how comfortable they are to write with. It is so easy to switch out the lead and erasers so that the pencil lasts forever. They are extremely well made and just great quality.

My favorite pencils.
I have used my clear point 3 ct 0.7 mm mechanical pencil for a while now and I have to say it is my favorite. I love that it is a thicker pencil making it easy to use and and havingnthe large eraser is a big plus to. It writes very nicely and with a click of a button the lead comes out easily.

Great for homeschooling
I got these pencils for my third grade son. We are doing home schooling this year. We got tired of sharpening pencils so we got these mechanical ones. He likes the fat grip on the pencil. We also love how you can refill the lead easily. These make homeschooling much easier!

Great pencils
I received my Paper Mate CLEAR POINT 3CT 0.7MM SS BLK BARREL a few weeks ago. They are very easy to use. Writes smooth. The lead is very strong and sturdy, so lead does not break quickly. I highly recommend for great writing.

Good pencils
These are nice mechanical pencils and I really enjoy them. They have a comfortable grip and are easy to write with. I use them frequently when updating my monthly wall calendar, as I prefer to write in pencil rather than pen, as things sometimes change and need to be erased. At the same time, these mechanical pencils provide a much clearer pencil stroke and writing vers...

LOVE 'EM!
It may sound silly to love a pencil, but after trying these, I do. I like to write and sketch in pencil. These Paper Mate clear point mechanical pencils are awesome! They feel like a pen, the grip is very comfortable and the thin point is a plus for me. I love that I can refill them as needed.

Great features
These pencils works really well. Many other brands will break easily but these are very sturdy I recommend these mechanical pencils for anyone who still uses pencils. The lead is as strong as the pencil

CLEAR POINT 3CT 0.7MM SS BLK BARREL
I am extremely happy with this model of pencil. I use it almost entirely for note-taking and creative writing.
The thicker size of the lead (0.7mm) doesn't feel like I'm "scratching" the paper when I'm writing, like it does with the thinner lead sizes. There's a better "flow" for moving across the paper.

Smooth mechanical pencils
Great pencils with smooth mechanism on the body of the pencil so you can get more lead with a quick click within easy reach. The pencils come with 0.7mm lead, which is the ideal size for me (less breakage than with thinner 0.5mm), and best of all, they are easy to refill so this pencil should last a long time. Great value, great quality.
