TiconderogaSensematic Mechanical Pencil, 0.7mm Lead, Silver, 2 Count

Better than the pentel orenz at for sure. The plastic advancing tip reduces scratch compared to other advancing pencils that use metal drafting sleeves. But, the stock lead is TERRIBLE. Swap it out immediately for pentel hi-polymer 2B or softer. Also, only load the pencil with ONE lead at a time, or else it might jam. Keep the rest in the storage area in the eraser piece.I took one apart for science. DO NOT PULL OFF THE FRONT PIECE. The mechanism is in the tip (black and blue piece), the rest is a feeding mechanism designed so the long back piece pushes a single lead into the clutch. The eraser cannot be removed.

I have been using this for the past day to draw on fabric for quilting and I love everything about it! You need a very sharp pencil to draw patterns on fabric and this pencil is always sharp. Unlike with other mechanical pencils you can't over extend it so it doesn't break. So far it hasn't broken and auto extends. I have no idea what magic is at work but this pencil is fabulous.

I was really looking forward to getting these pencils because Ticonderoga is my favorite brand for wooden pencils and erasers, and this was the first time I'd seen that they had a mechanical pencil in their brand. I like using a mechanical pencil, but often the erasers on those smear/don't wipe clean when you use them--specifically on newsprint or puzzle books. As far as the eraser goes, this one seems to be as good as the traditional ones on Ticonderoga pencils. It does a good job and doesn't smear. But the way the mechanical pencil works it only allows just a tiny bit of lead to come out at a time, which sometimes causes me to tear my paper if I don't angle the pencil just the right way. The pencil does stay sharp, but it doesn't have the smooth writing feel that their regular pencils do. I probably won't be buying these again, but I will continue using the ones I have.

The Ticonderoga Sensematic Mechanical Pencils are my new favorite! The 0.7mm lead is just the right size, not too thick or thin, and it writes smoothly every time. I love the silver design; it looks sleek and feels nice in my hand. What sets these apart is the automatic lead advance, no clicking necessary! It’s super convenient and makes writing or sketching feel seamless. Plus, they’re durable enough to handle daily use without any issue. With two pencils in the pack, it’s a great value, and I always have a backup ready. If you want a mechanical pencil that’s both stylish and functional, I’d totally recommend these!

These have become my favorite pencil! They don’t break as your writing, feels like a good size and stats sharp !

The idea of a ticonderoga led pencil was amazing, but I quickly found that I hated the way I had to hold the pencil to use the led properly. Since this is an automatic feeding led pencil, it only puts out just enough led to come to the edge of the tip of the pencil. I write with my pencil at an angle so I could not get the pencil to write well. If you are someone who holds their pencil vertically, you should have no problem with the pencil at all. You cannot get extra led to come out of the pencil since it is auto feeding. The material of the pencil is great and seems very durable. It has a great shape, so there is no problems with grip. Since the led comes out at a set pace, it feels almost as if you are writing with a dull pencil.

great at school, lead never breaks between schools. Love it!

Stopping to click the pencil is not that big of a deal, but this pencil makes it so you don't even have to do that. I thought it was great until I tried writing in a notebook. It writes nice and dark on one sheet of paper on a hard surface, but it does become fainter as the number of pages increases.
