Pilot G2 Premium Mechanical Pencils, #2 HB, 0.7 mm Lead, Assorted Accent Colors, 2 Count

These are great pencils! Pilot is dependable and it's my "go to" brand for office supplies. The pencil barrel is very smooth and is a comfortable size, neither too thick nor too thin. I really like the cushioned grip. While working remotely from home for at least 8 hours daily (without my trusty 10-key) these pencils get a lot of use and comfort matters. The feed mechanism is placed conveniently at the top and the push button works well. The eraser is soft and while it doesn't entirely remove what I've written it isn't so abrasive that it damages the paper either. I find this more important. I also like the fun colors and the fact that the package thoughtfully includes both extra leads and additional erasers. The leads and erasers are very easy to reload. I tried everything in the package after taking pics. My grandsons tried them too. They liked them and had no problems other than wanting an orange colored one, lol.

I've had mechanical pencils in the past, but never felt they were much better than traditional pencils. However the Pilot G-2 pencils really are a cut above the competition. It's light in the hand and writes smoother than most of my pens even. The eraser is soft and does a good job erasing. I like that it is refillable too. Initially I planned to give these to my kids, but now I'm thinking, sorry kids but these pencils are mine.
