I have been using Col-Erase pencils since the mid 1970s. The leads dont break when you drop them on the floor. They sharpen well, have strong color and just feel good as you write with them. and best of all, they erase cleanly! No ghosting. After using other brands of colored pencils I understood why my first boss made such a fuss when we didnt get col erase pencils. Great for making editing comments on printed text drafts, marking changes on printed plans and sketches. I usually start my creative ideas with a regular black pencil, then make changes in say blue, then rethink it a bit and make a second generation of improvements in say green, and another generation in red. Often I will just scribble " use the blue dimensions" so I recall which idea I finalized on, and all my other ideas are retained. In one office, we each had our assigned color for passing items along to several people to each add their ideas. Anything in Blue was from Mike. Green was Frank. its just a quality product!

My boss will only use prismacolor. They are getting hard to find

My mother does a lot of coloring and only does flowers so needless to say, uses a lot of green pencils. She loves this green and also loves that they have erasers. I wish we could find more colors that come in packs rather than in multiple colors.

The Greed, Blue and Red pencils, all of which I've ordered, write well, the points don't break easily, and have good color saturation. But because the manufacturer must sell these individually, they wrap this terrible wide label at the top of the pencil with a UPC code. The ink on the labels has come off on my hand, they peel a little, and then stick like crazy. Try and remove them and they tear, and pull off the pencil's paint. I end up wrapping some office tape on them to keep the ink off my hands, and the corners getting partway off. Eyesore and surprisingly annoying. I have a lot of Japanese-made pencils, and they understand how to apply those codes directly to their pencils. Prismacolor doesn't have this down yet, or apparently how to choose a label that can't make up its mind to stick or not stick. BUT: Again, great erasable color pencils.

I have used this type in several colors and it's a very good pencil. The packaging was so bad that all the leads were broken inside, so a complete waste of money.
