I use mechanical pencils for drafting quilt patterns in my business and these are perfect! Made sure to have plenty on hand at each work station in my studio. Absolutely recommend.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great pencil with an excellent eraser and of the proper lead diameter for equations.
Reviewed in the United States on January 20, 2017
Exactly what I needed. The eraser does erase cleanly and without any smudges or stray marks. The lead is perfect for writing small print math problems on college-ruled paper. Here is my lead breakdown:

0.3 mm - Perfect for writing as small as possible on note cards or note sheets for exams (cram as much information as possible on the permitted note medium). Difficulty: this thin diameter lead breaks with minimal pressure. I go through a lot of lead when writing exam note cards so this diameter is not recommended for regular use. This was a common size for engineering/drafting years ago.

0.5 mm - The lead size in this product. PERFECT for someone with decent hand pressure control or someone who has plenty of extra lead on hand. The pencil writes fine while still being sturdy enough for my creaky hand.

0.7 mm - Sturdy, but writes very mushy. Fine for writing words and doodling and probably acceptable for higher-level math on wide-ruled paper but gets a little "squishy" fitting equations on one line of college-ruled. I find myself frequently rotating the pencil or even intentionally breaking lead to try and find a sharper edge.

0.9 mm - Perhaps fine (and even preferred) for younger students but 0.7 mm is bad enough for higher-level math that I'd never use this lead.

I've included a photo that compares the 0.3 mm, 0.5 mm, and 0.7 mm pencil leads (I do not own a 0.9 mm pencil) on standard college-ruled paper. The 0.5 mm example demonstrates a pencil from this set. The comparison should be enough to determine which thickness is right for you. I also erased and rewrote one of the numbers on this example, using the eraser of this particular product. As you can see, it erases very cleanly. See if you can guess what was erased!

Long story short: Excellent pencils with fine lead and quality erasers for CHEAP!

I love these mechanical pencils and I order them all the time. Between my kids and my spouse these literally fly off the shelf but honestly they’re always lying around and work great. It also happened to be they the lead that they come pre installed with us not some crappy thin lead like what some of the other competitors do.

As expected, simple, basic mechanical pencil.
Each pencil only has like two or three pieces of lead. I use this in a couple of weeks, refillable if you can get the eraser out.

I bought the BIC Xtra-Precision Mechanical Pencils (0.5mm) with the metallic barrel for my seventh-grade son, who loves mechanical pencils. These pencils are perfect for his detailed schoolwork and creative projects. The fine point provides sharp, consistent lines, and the metallic barrel feels durable and comfortable to hold. The 24-count pack is great for keeping extras on hand. Overall, these pencils offer excellent quality and are a big hit with my son. Highly recommended!

Reviewed in the United States on August 11, 2024
My daughter likes the super fine point lead. I cant find the 0.5 pencils at the store. My daughter prefers these pencils for school so I had to order them. I probably could have found some at a office supply store but I like the convenience of ordering it and having it shipped to my house.
