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.

Quality product for writing and erasing.
I have owned this pencil before and the two packs I bought were to be sure I can continue to use this mechanical pencil. (I do have about 50 other pencils that I find are not as acceptable for my use as the Papermate, Comfortmate.

Comfortable but Fragile
2 in a package is a good idea

Not reliable
I do architectural drawings all day. This product did not work after the intial lead was empty. I refilled it with the included lead and clicked, to no avail.
I will go back to disposables.

Exceeded Expectations
This is one of the best looking pencils you can get. This pencil is a great substitute for a normal #2 pencil, and it is also very comfortable. The fact that eraser refills and lead is included is also nice. It is also pocketsafe because the tip is retractable. The only improvement that can be made on this pencil would be a metal clip instead of a plastic one, but don't...

My new favorite mechanical pencil.
I like that these come in colors so I can find it easily on top of my desk and don't pick up a pen when I wanted my pencil.

Doesn't tire your hand or fingers!
My greatest criticism of mechanical pencils has been that they hurt the fingers and hands of older people, especially those with any kind of arthritis. This brand is not guilty!

Good, comfortable pencil
Comfortable, sturdy grip, feels good to use, has the feel of a pen in the hand, writes smoothly. The only thing I would change is that it would be nice to retract the lead while it's in my bag.
