This is another nifty mechanical pencil for our already throw-a-way society. These pencils are ideal for the class room in that they actually work, are indeed shatter resistant, and when they are lost or not returned, and I guarantee that this will happen, you are not out big bucks.
The lead is No.2 and leaves a nice bold mark, bet not so bold that it smears all over the place. It comes with to refill leads which really is not all that important as in a school situation, you will never see the thing again once you loose sight of it; but it is never the less nice to know the lead is there...just in case.
The eraser is quite effective. Keep in mind that this has a top lead advance mechanism, so you do have to stop writing to advance the lead. This does not seem to bother the students all that much though.
These pencils are ideal for math or accounting classes.
They do come in nice colors (the shell), but not so nice that they look "cool," ergo, more are returned than if they were nice shinny things.
I suppose you could sum it up as "cheap and serviceable." In this day and age, what more could you ask for?

The pencil has top lead advance, which can be stressfull, since you have to stop writting to advance the lead. They are perfect for students, who tend to loose alot of pencils. The price ($4.49) makes it very affordable. They aren't the best penclis, but for people who loose alot of pencils they are absolutly perfect.

The one BIG problem with these pencils is that if you put any pressure on the lead, it goes back up forcing you to have to click constantly. I don't think I put excess pressure on the pencil (the lead doesn't break), but I'm having to constantly click to bring the lead back down because it keeps pushing back up. Frustrating!!!
I would try another product, I wouldn't buy these again.

Nice looking pencils, but dispensing lead could be better
These look good (girly colors), but seem to be non-consistent when dispensing lead (like hardly any comes out on a push or alot comes out - semi-annoying)

Cheap and disposable but they get the job done!

Nice pencils for the price!
For the couple of bucks I paid per package of these, they were a good buy! They're mechanical pencils, they work like they're supposed to, not much else to say in regards to that. Read more
