Picked up the “new” upgraded mechanical PaperMate at WalMart which now has a yellow body instead of the classic gold one. Their new mechanical pencil is no better than the dime store cheap pencils. It writes way to light and is not the lead quality of the old classic. Not soft and is brittle. Can tear thin paper.
These wooden ones are much better lead quality and make readable marks.
They are the quality of the long produced Dixon #2. And have the same lead readability of the old mechanical PaperMate before it got dumbed down.
