Simple, lightweight, yet rugged
Nice, simple mechanical pencil. The pointy tip can retract into itself so when putting into a shirt pocket, it does not poke. Best part is the erasers are large size and it comes with extra erasers and extra 0.7 leads.

Eraser is TERRIBLE
The eraser on these pencils are terrible. Ned to replace with a typical pink eraser.

As far as Engineering Pencils go
I love engineering pencils, because they're so precise and writing with them looks so neat. I use them everyday when writing in my appointment book (daytimer). I buy many business supplies and the engineering pencils are just one of many things I do buy at Staples. On my last visit, Susan helped me access my rewards so that I could take advantage of them when making my ...

Great pencil; poor lead
This mechanical pencil looks nice and high quality; however, the lead continually breaks. My kids use these pencils for school work so they don't have to leave their chair to sharpen pencils. Nevertheless I am continually finding broken pencil lead all over the table where they work. It seems pencil lead is not what it used to be. Other than the constant breaking of lea...

Good practical pencil
I use mechanical pencils to mark wood for cutting. They store well in my toolbox. You don't have to sharpen.

I would consider other pencils .
does not compare to older mechanical pen which is easier to use in terms of lead supply to the pen.

Excellent smooth pencil
Excellent mechanical pencil. The smooth 0.7 HB lead is excellent for writing. I have Rheumatoid Arthritis and have difficulty writing with pencils because they don't flow across the paper. This pencil works for me!

Good quality pencil
Much better unit than the bulk buy of cheaper quality mechanical pencils. I decided to get this unit, when found on sale, over the multipack. I am please I did. The bulk units are too light and have a smaller diameter and feel really cheap. I like the feel of this pencil and the weight is good, yet it could be a little heavier near the tip, personal preference. I have h...

Not meant for school/heavy writing
After 2 days of use pencil LEAD holder (at writing end fell out) see pics. Later the other did the same.So both are useless because lead does not stay stationary. I do write a lot (nursing school) feel this pencil is more an everyday grocery list light writing pencil. Very disappointing. But not worth returning due to price.
