Paper Mate Handwriting Triangular Mechanical Pencil Set with Lead & Eraser Refills, 1.3mm, Fun Barrel Colors, 16 Count (10 Pencils, 2 Lead Refills and 4 Erasers)

Not as advertised.I ordered “3 packages” of ten, it came with two packs of five. Very deceptive and misleading but I’m outside the product return window and now I can’t return. :( :( :(

After opening the package and seeing 10 pencils, I feel incredibly duped. I will be returning these tomorrow. The quantity says 3 so I assumed it was 3 packages of 5 pencils. Upon reading fine print, I saw 16. 16 pencils? Nope! 10 pencils+4 tiny erasers+2 refill packages =16 items. Just WOW! You can buy two packages at Target/Walmart for about $7 not $20.

I am a hard-presser when I write, to the point where my middle finger has always had a callous from writing. As someone who works in schools now, I use these pencils after a colleague introduced me to them. They have thicker graphite than most other mechanical pencils on the market, and for that reason, I can press hard and not break the graphite constantly. The kids I work with love these pencils too... often asking to keep them when I allow them to borrow. Of course, I give many away and tell kids and colleagues about where to buy these. I find that so many of those who have used them keep buying them again and again. They really are the best.

I’m a teacher, and this year I bought these for my students. I will never go back, not even for the gold standard Ticonderoga. Like any mechanical pencil it reduces distracting and messy sharpening breaks, it’s long lasting due to replaceable led and erasers, BUT these pencils are better than the average mechanical pencils! The led is so thick it rarely breaks! The led chamber only holds one piece at a time, so no annoying lead jingle in class. And replacing that one piece is way better than sharpening. With replacement erasers and lead, students’ pencils last all year! (As long as they don’t loose them.) Even I prefer to use them over any other pencil now. If you need a long lasting pencil! This is the pencil for you!

I love using these for woodworking projects. They are accurate yet still durable. I bought some for my kids who are 3rd grade and below to practice handwriting with and it’s kind of the same thing. They aren’t so skinny that they break all the time, but they are still more accurate than a dulled no 2 pencil.

These are great for 4th grade classrooms. They are very durable and the lead can be handed out by the teacher as the kids run out. I actually collect them at the end of the day and sanitize them. The major of them are going on 6 months continuous use. Just need to get erasers and extra lead.

I love these. I am a 24 year old woman with arthritis and other illnesses/disabilities. Normal pencils and pens are super painful to use; however these allow me to write more comfortably with my issues and write for longer than I can with a normal pen/pencil!

These are absolutely the best pencils! They are so great for kids especially learning to write. I also love the thickness and that the lead doesnt break easily! Very hard to find except online. You wont regret buying these!
