Good product softer lead than others

great pencils for school

I'm a carpenter and I use these pencils for all my layout and they last a very long time and they're way more accurate.

Es un lapiz mecanico. Funciona y llego a tiempo. No me encantaron las puntillas que traia por default pero compre unas que eran de mi agrado y problema arreglado.

Absolutely perfect pencil!! Delivered on time. Complete satisfaction.

Packaging: Came in a yellow bubble envelope. The packaging itself is just cheap plastic and cardboard but, for this type of product, the quality of packaging doesn't matter in the least bit. Quality: The quality of the pencil barrel is pretty cheap feeling but it's strong plastic. The sticks of graphite are of .09mm thickness and you'd have to be writing very hard to accidentally break them off. The eraser is of exceptional quality and is actually the main reason I buy BIC mechanical pencils. Also, with some brands of pencils, the graphite dispensing mechanism is weak and allows lead to slowly slide backwards back up it. With BIC, the mechanism is strong and this isn't a problem. Value: According to the packaging, each pencil is the equivalent of 2.5 regular wooden pencils. That means this package of 24 pencils is the equivalent of 60 wooden pencils. That is a lot of writing potential for only about $6. I'd say the exceptional eraser is also the equivalent of 2.5 regular pencil erasers. The value of these pencils is great and they're worth every penny. Overall: PROS: -Eraser -Thick lead -Cheap CONS: -None I'd recommend this product to anyone who needs a pencil and has issues with writing too hard, running out of an eraser, or being sick of sharpening pencils. I seriously love this brand of pencils.

You'll enjoy writing with it. My bservations: A bit pricey (Rs. 89/- INR per pencil), may be because this product has to be imported. It is lightweight, can hold more than 2 leads, no need to sharpen the leads (You cannot also :)). It is a bit difficult to put the leads from the back as the eraser at the bottom is a bit tight and if careless, you might break it which you do not want. Other than that it is a wonderful pencil.
