BIC Xtra-Life Mechanical Pencil,0.7 Mm,40-Count,Black

Very Good

Very comfortable and fair price

Well made. Delivery was on time. I will buy the set again whenever needed.

Great pencils. Pity the plastic is not recycled but the pencils all work well and are fairly long lasting.

My son (now 6th grade) does best writing with mechanical pencils since he has handwriting on the sloppy side and presses moderately hard. He also needs as few distractions by getting up to sharpen his pencils as possible. These seem to hold up to pretty heavy use and pressure with minimal lead breakage. He has no trouble holding them, not being too slick as to slide. Being #2 pencils and safe for "bubble blank" tests, he only needs these. I love the cost per unit. I usually manage to fill with an additional lead or two so they last longer, too, although the leads inside are as long as permissible while still allowing the advancement of lead. I have re-purchased these several times.
