Great value for a great mechanical pencil

I have used these pencils for many years and can attest to them being very long-lasting. I am a crossword (& other puzzles) addict and go thru’ many puzzle books in a year, as well as the daily newspaper ones. I am also a needlework artist. I work out all my crochet & counted cross stitch patterns on graph or engineering paper using these pencils.I especially like that they are twist-ups rather than the click-up type as I can more easily control the length of the exposed led I need and twist it back in as necessary. The soft pink erasers are more than adequate especially since there is often lots of erasing when laying out needlework patterns.! They are still #2 leads, but in recent years are not quite as soft as they once were so the color of the lead is somewhat lighter and sometimes the lead will pierce thru’ newsprint paper. Keep in mind, the lead in these pencils is not the same as what you get in the old standby wood pencils. (I still keep #2, 3 & 4 wood pencils around for other uses.). The only downside is that the pocket clip breaks off easily if it is clipped to anything too thick. I solved this for myself as I had saved some removable metal clips from a few dried up old stick-style pens that fit these pencils perfectly.

I have used these pencils for years. Smooth writing. Eraser does the job. Too bad we can't change out either the eraser portion or the lead portion. Great product, will continue to use.

All I use for writing on printed music. They write small and distinctly and the lead never breaks. Fine pencils!I bought these to give to other musicians-- their copies are smeared with graphite.

I’m a little bummed that the company has changed this particular type of pencil. It feels cheaper than the old ones and I think the lead is possibly harder. But it’s still a good pencil, I’m just particular.

Easy the use. They have a great feel. There is something unique about the feel of a good pencil (mechanical or wood) or pen. Not sure if this makes sense but it does to me. :o)

This Paper Mate Sharpwriter #2 pencil used to be my favorite pencil in he world. I've used them for many years and they have been consistently high quality. However, the box I ordered in March of 2023 (about 10 months ago) was different. The plastic barrel was a yucky, light yellow, not the heretofore deep, almost orangish yellow. The lead was very light and hard to read. And, the erasers did a poor job of removing marks from the paper. This is probably another one of those instances where a U.S. manufacturer moved a manufacturing job to an Asian country because they were cheaper to make there, but the quality was just ruined. I've seen this same thing happen to several other items that I've used for a long time that were at one time very high quality, but after the move, "mediocre" and "part of the herd" was the only way to describe them. It's sad.

Pencils are exactly as per definition. Great value for money.

My favourite pencil has greatly declined in quality. The pencil used to be more orange (or at least darker yellow) and now it is a bright yellow with very plastic feeling lead. I am wondering if I purchased a knock-off product because the pencil that was once amazing... is now horrible to write with. The lead is not nice and soft and the eraser is hard and feels like plastic. The pencils don't even feel the same to grip. I am so very disappointed.

Former draftsman here pre CAD, oh the joys of using a pencil to do all your layout work before inking in. I can relive those glory days with these 0.7mm auto pencils though it seems a shame to dispose when the lead runs out. I will just get some replacement leads and be back in business. Great value and the ergonomics are sweet.
