PentelChamp Mechanical Pencil, (0.5mm) Lead Size, Black Barrel, Box of 12 (AL15A)

I have used these mechanical pencils for many years and have never been disappointed.Easy to hold and write with.

Very durable and writes well

I did think this was an assortment of colored barrels, but I use this brand and style of mechanical pencil a LOT. They were all blue, but are identical to the two individual black ones I purchased. I tend to lose or misplace my mechanical pencils so decided to invest in a 'supply'. It has also allowed me to have a few loaded with different colors of lead for note taking.This is a very economical way to get a supply of these pencils. They write well. They take most 0.7mm leads. The lower black part is sort of cushy and easy to grip. I can write just as easily with either hand, so. They also take refill/replacement erasers (get those separately). The erasers work well, don't turn hard and smeary.

Arrive in the office to restock the supplies. Everyone loves them.

I use these pencils for my bible study, and I love them. They writes so smoothly, and they are very comfortable to hold. Great bargain for the money.

They work as expected (three stars).; I push the plunger, the lead/ graphite comes out and I write.I added an additional star for the grip, it's a unique design that works better thank a lot of the solid squishy solutions used by others.If I need to buy more pencils in the future, I wouldn't hesitate to buy more of these.

I buy these by the box once a year and they are amazing. I love 0.9mm “lead” and the grip and feel of these are amazing.

I am very picky about my pens and pencils. Love this one bc the lead is dark, sturdy and very fine.

Has a nice rubber grip to hold on to.But the lack of a metal tip makes it only as good as the cheap and disposable BIC mechanical pencils.
