Paper Mate Handwriting Triangular Mechanical Pencil Set with Lead & Eraser Refills, 1.3mm, Fun Barrel Colors, 8 Count

These are the best mechanical pencils I have ever used. I have been in the field of education for over 30 years and I have never found a pencil like this one. The led is thicker and the triangle shape of the pencil is amazing. I actually give these to new teachers as a welcome gift.

I'm a pencil snob. I normally use a certain type of pencil, I'm just really picky about my pencils. I read thru the comments and saw the other pencil snob comments and thought I'd give them a try. I really do like how they write. A little dark but not to dark and it sets comfortably between my fingers. Normally these retractable pencils are to big. I'm completely satisfied and will buy more! I ordered the lead so I wouldn't run out. There is extra lead with the pencils but since all the school supplies are sale, I went on and ordered the lead. Try them, you're going to like them, I highly recommend these pencils. They're only a couple bucks so give these a shot, you'll see!
