Pentel® Cometz™ Mechanical Pencil, 0.9mm, #2 Lead, Blue Barrel, Pack Of 12

I bought the Pental Cometz Automatic Pencil, HD#2, 0.90 mm, Blue Barrel, Dozen. The reasons I wanted them: 1. they are the type I like 2. I read that having 0.90 mm pencil the mm of graphite that made it less likely to beak while using it. 3. I was willing take a chance. The price was good for a dozen. The are easy to use, have a grip at where you hold the pencil to write and they don't break like the ones I used that had a lower mm of graphite in pencils. The color and style of the pencil are attractive. Well worth my money!

This is the best pencil I have found for Sudoku puzzle books. The lead is thick enough and soft enough to write on the cheap newsprint type paper without ripping it, and erasures also are easy without destroying the paper.
