Pentel Twist-Erase Click Mechanical Pencils 0.7mm, HB #2, School Supplies, Teacher Supplies, Drawing Sketching pencils, Assorted Barrel Colors- 6 Mechanical Pencils, 6 Erasers, 3 Tubes of Lead Refills

The Pentel Twist-Erase Click pencils have become a favorite in our house — my kids won’t use anything else, even after trying some of the more expensive brands. The 0.7 mm lead writes smoothly without much breakage, and the grip is comfortable for long writing sessions. The eraser design is the real standout: it twists up easily and lasts far longer than the typical small eraser caps you find on most mechanical pencils. This bundle is also a great value. It includes extra erasers and three full tubes of lead refills, so we’re stocked for the school year. Honestly, when my kids run out of erasers, it’s often cheaper to buy this entire set again rather than purchase refills separately — and since everyone wants their own color, that works out perfectly. Pros: Smooth, consistent writing with minimal lead breakage Long-lasting twist-up erasers Comfortable, non-slip grip Excellent bundle value with plenty of refills Cons: Eraser refills can be pricey when bought on their own Bottom line: Reliable, well-designed mechanical pencils that outperform more expensive options. The quality, comfort, and included extras make this pack an easy choice for students and anyone who writes often.

If you are in the market for affordable, reliable mechanical pencils, then you should consider these Pentel mechanical pencils. I have two children in middle school, and they needed reliable pencils. They tried other brands last year, and they just did not last. I am surprised how well these mechanical pencils have held up so well to daily use by my children. Another good thing about these mechanical pencils are they are comfortable to use. My son grips his pencils really tight and writes very hard. With other brands of mechanical pencils, he would get red spots and sores on his hand. With these Pentels, he does not get red spots or sores. If you are in the market for good mechanical pencils, you should strongly consider these Pentels.

I've tried a lot of mechanical pencils and these are my favorite so far. The part of the pen that you hold is very comfortable. The button where you advance the lead is very convenient near where you're holding the pen. The eraser is very long. It will last a long time. The lead is very smooth and dark. And, for $10.99, you get so much - 6 pencils and enough lead and erasers to last you a very long time. One tip for new users (that I didn't know) - you don't load the new lead from the top (where the eraser is. Instead, you pull the top half of the pencil off and then load the lead there. I highly recommend these pencils.

I've been using an older but very similar model, the SIDE FX (above) since probably 2011; still do use it but found this slimmer model (below) appealing. Quality of this style seems just as good as my old workhorse. I'm pleased Pentel has continued producing the long exchangeable erasers for all this time. Just one lasts much longer than any conventional built-in eraser I've ever seen, and it's convenient for me to have a stock of cross-compatible replacements ready to go. Extending the eraser on the SIDE FX by twisting the top section has a sort of bumpy ratcheting feel to it, which has smoothed out a bit on mine but is still present. In this slimmer model, extending the eraser feels very smooth and gives slightly more control over your eraser length (I think this was a good change). Graphite capacity is pretty average for a mechanical pencil, but for me that's more than enough. The button located on the grip for dispensing graphite feels much more natural to use than the standard click-in eraser mechanism seen on most mechanical pencils. Personally I like the textured button that goes on the SIDE FX a little better, but this smoother style one is perfectly good. *The buttons are not cross-compatible; different dimensions. -Side note: Pentel sells another model with the same erasers but a different click mechanism, where the entire top of the pencil is pushed down to dispense graphite. Similar concept to how standard mechanical pencils work; a little better in my opinion but not my style. I like the rubber grip on this new one. Much slimmer than the SIDE FX grip, and has no play to it because it's fixed to the body of the pencil. On the SIDE FX, the grip is just a tube that can slip on and off when you screw off the tip of the pencil. While having the ability to easily exchange grips seems nice, having the grip as a separate free-floating piece allows it to wiggle around more and more as the rubber wears. If the grip was perfectly cylindrical that wouldn't be as annoying but the SIDE FX has a hexagonal grip, so when it spins around it really messes up your grip angle. Fixing the grip to the pencil body and slimming it down was a great decision by Pentel in my opinion. Some advice that might help one or two buyers: The metal tip of these pencils is held in by friction. If for some reason you press down really hard on the actual metal, it will get pushed into the pencil and it will stop working properly. You can fix this by unscrewing the end, carefully removing the clear rubber bit inside the tip that helps control the graphite stick (do not lose this piece), and pushing an eyeglass screwdriver or something similarly long and thin into the bottom of the plastic tip. The metal piece should come back out easily. Place the smaller end of that clear rubber piece into the tip section and screw it back together. Me being a dumb kid at the time, I tried to use the metal tip to scrape my name into a piece of hard wood and got stuck in this situation. Not something I expect many of you to deal with.

I’m addicted to the ease and convenience of this mechanical pencil pack. All-in-one! The design, weight and quality are unmatched. No need to purchase lead, erasers or refills, they’re all included. The pencils are comfortable to grip and glide easily when writing. I also enjoy the position of the click feature to advance the lead, it’s not positioned on top of the eraser. This pack is seriously my forever go-to.

i love these mechanical pencils sm they are a repeat purchase. the pencil writes so smoothly onto the paper and the grip also helps writing go way better.

Love the Pentel brand. Great pencils with refill erasers & leads. Need multipack because I keep losing them. Only took off a star because the packaging is a nightmare. Even with sharp scissors, had to fight to get the pieces out. Cost more, but worth the price.

Very good quality pencils, they write perfectly

Have been buying these for quite a few years - they are so well made - and a must have - even take on holiday with us - great for SUDOKA and the built in eraser comes in handy.

Service rapide et juste au niveau de la facture très efficace

My best investment in terms of school stationary. Loved the design of clicking from the front instead of top to bring out the lead

A suavidade do grafite é ótimo Vale o q custa

Recomiendo éstos portaminas, son cómodos, con mina blanda, la goma es de buen diámetro (como la de un lápiz de madera, con buena longitud), los colores son bonitos y nada "escandalosos" (de hecho, era mi duda, por la edad que tengo pensé que debería haber blisters con colores más "serios"), nada que ver. Definitivamente lo volveré a comprar
