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.

Ease of use
Quick and easy to access eraser (no cap to remove).
Click on top to extract the right length of lead - (also for quickness of use).
Lead doesn't "break" when carrying in handbag as a lead pencil does.
Set includes two pencils - 1 for home and 1 for purse.
Set also includes plenty of extra lead and several extra erasers.

Comfort for life
I was skeptical about this mechanical pencil. Although it was on sale i still wanted to mak sure that it was good quality. The pencils will last me a very long time. I love them!

Not my favorite mechanical pencil
Poor quality/price ratio. Lead is low quality; hard, squeaky, difficult to erase. Flimsy, lead sinks back into pencil as you write. Grip is sticky and not comfortable for my hands. Next time I'll spend a little bit more on a well-built pencil. I won't even use the lead refill that came with this pack.

I'd buy again
The pencil was a gift for a new teacher. They loved how nice it felt and how it wrote. It is rather stylish too.

"Oh what a relief it is"
I am a chemistry major and do so much writing that I am getting a callus on my finger. This pencil provided immediate pressure relief when writing for long periods of time

You get what you pay for
I am usually a Pentel buyer, but when I say this pencil, I liked the looks of the pen and the rubber grip. However, from the start the pencil felt flimsy in my hand. After a week of use the metal tip came loose and came off.
So much for my experiment deviating from Pentel. I promise to not be unfaithful again.

Good quality but fat pencils
These are nice to use but don't store and carry as easily as slimmer mechanical pencils

Not happy with it!
The tip of the pencil came off the first time I advanced the lead. I kept putting it back on but ended up losing the teensi little thing. When I tried to use the pencil without the tip the lead constantly broke. :(

I Really Like These Pencils!!
These are great pencils. Bought them for my kids but after using one, I decide to keep them for myself. Nice, professional looking pencils.

I like the pencil
The pencil's weight and design feel good in my hand. I've been using it for drawing, drafting and blueprint designs. The 0.7mm works nicely for drawing hardline. It's a complete package coming with additional refills and erasers.

Excels at breaking leads
With either PaperMate or Pentel leads, this pencil causes them to break inside the mechanism, so then you can't adjust the lead length. Wastes lead and my time.
