Summary of reviews
These pencils are highly recommended for young children learning to write due to their chunkier style and thick lead, which prevents breakage. The triangular design makes them easy to hold and prevents rolling off the desk. However, the erasers are a common point of dissatisfaction among guests.

My husband relies on these pencils for his work in construction. They have proven to be incredibly convenient for him, especially when he's on job sites where finding a sharpener can be a hassle. With his role often requiring precise measurements and markings, these pencils allow him to work efficiently without interruption. Plus, they've demonstrated a remarkable durability; he appreciates that they don’t break easily, even when he’s handling them in rough conditions. This reliability makes a noticeable difference in his workday.

I love these pencils. Especially if you have fine motor problems it’s easier to grip. My handwriting is so much neater.
Great!

Our kids ask for these pencils when they run out of lead. We love them. The colors and size are fun, great to add to Easter baskets or Christmas stockings. Recommend!

Love this pencil pack so much! My son uses them regularly for PreK homework and he takes care of it so well. I’ve tried normal mechanical pencils, but he quickly breaks the lead. This lead is thick enough that he won’t break it easily.

Best mechanical pencils! I have 53 students and I buy them as gifts for them and they are the only pencil they have not lost since august! The lead is super thick and makes all their writing look BOLD. Best pencil for your price point!
Great!

Perfect for small hands. My first grader loves these pencils as he’s learning to write, the lead is sturdy and lasts a long time. I love the vibrant colors too
Love how they write, but hate erasers!

My son asked if he could buy. I was skeptical, but the lead almost never breaks and smooth. I work at school and now I only use this as well. The only bad thing is the erasers. They are terrible so I take one star off. Please come up with better erasers for this!

As an elementary teacher, I do a lot of writing all day with my students. I'm getting older, so I definently feel the arthritis developing in my hands. The size and grip on these pencils are awesome! The triangle shape makes it not only easy on the hands, but they also don't roll away. Love them!

It writes with the thickness of an average pencil, with the convenience of being mechanical. Plus, it is triangular shaped which is my kid’s preferred pencil shape.

Love that the lead is thick so it won’t break easily. I don’t like that the erasers fall out easily. At least there are spares included. As a former educator, I used them daily and still use them often.
Meh

Got these for my daughter. She never said a word about them. So, that means they worked, but weren't anything different or "special".
