Twist-Erase Click Mechanical Pencil, (0.5mm), Assorted Barrels, 2 Eraser Refills and Lead, Color May Vary, Pack of 2 (PD275TLEBP2)

This is my second set. The first I purchased six years ago, and they're still going strong despite daily usage, having gotten these because sometimes having more than two pencils is useful, and if I ever need even more pencils, I'll be going with these again.

Excellent pencil. Fits comfortably in your hand. The grip end does not get worn down, or gross over time from the oils in your skin like I've had with some pens/pencils. The eraser works well (nobody likes an eraser that just smudges or does a poor job), is fairly large, well concealed inside the pencil and easy turn when you need more eraser. It's personal opinion, but I like the fine (.5mm) size lead this pencil has. Also, the metal tip the lead comes out from is sturdy, I've yet to have it bend on me from writing or just being thrown in the bottom of my work bag.

I was not even on Amazon--I was just doing some homework and using this pencil and thinking how awesome it is and was FILLED with the urge to review it!!! Why do they make pencils out of wood anymore? A cheap mechanical pencil is 100x better. A nice mechanical pencil (the classic P205, also Pentel) is twice as good as that. The Twist Erase is 1000% better than that!!!!!! We're at 200000% now. It's soooo good. So the old mech pencils had this dinky-ass eraser. This pencil has a nice thick and LONG eraser that is made out of the best rubber or whatever. It feels really good to erase with, good grab nice texture, and erases very effectively (vastly superior to their own Clic-Eraser product). Whatever lead they include as stock is really good too!

Well made for a low-price automatic pencil. The side clicker is far preferable to the the end clicker designs. You can advance the lead while barely changing your grip. The lead reservoir is a little unintuitive, since it opens in the middle by a straight pull (friction fit). I like the twist advancing eraser, and I did not have the problem others have complained about retracting while in use (the simplest method seems to be to grip it around the eraser collar when erasing to prevent it from turning). All mechanical pencils seem to ship with HB lead, while I would prefer 2B (softer, darker, and easier to erase). The pencil body colors are nice, but I would prefer to choose all one color (not randomly assigned).

my daughter does not like the kind of mechanical pencil which you need to click the top of it to advance the lead so we had bought a package of these at an office supply store for her last year. We like the side button to advance the lead and the ability to replace the eraser once it has been worn down to the nub. Being a teenager she eventually lost the original ones we bought her and the store we bought them at no longer carries the 0.5mm ones, only the 0.7mm ones so I turned to Amazon to get the ones she wanted. The only drawback is when purchasing online you cannot always choose the color of the barrel that you might prefer.

As an engineering student, I use A LOT of lead. Seeing as I have to do countless computations I prefer to write in pencil. I can't stand the feel of natural pencils, and it took me quite some time to stumble across the PERFECT pencil. Let me tell you why.Pros-Thickness. This pencil has the perfect geometry for my hands.-Comfort. That cushion near the writing tip is perfect, not too large and not too soft... Just Right!-Clicking Mechanism. The mechanism used to advance the lead is ingenious. I can do it mid stroke of the pen. Also, with it not on the eraser end, you don't advance the lead on acident.-The rotating, never ending eraser. Like I said, lots of computations, sometimes not always correct. It is a good eraser that will last a long time.Cons-One time I left one in my car during the summer and the comfort cushion melted. My fault though.-Once the metal tip that encases the protruding lead bends, the pencil is obsolete.Honestly, over the past 4 years, I think I have purchased at least 10 of these. I probably could have purchased less, but I love getting a new color and loaning them out to my class mates. On more than one occasion I have heard, "Chris, this is an awesome pencil." To which I reply, "Duh!"

I previously had one of these, not sure where I got it, and was so excited when Amazon had more. I just started grad school so I was in need of a robust note-taking pencil, and these are great! I especially like the 0.5mm lead, because the thinner writing makes note-taking even more efficient. The pencil is sturdy and the grip is very comfortable.

Until recently I have never needed a pencil, especially a mechanical pencil. I bought this set because the price was right. As it turns out, so far I'm more than pleased with them and would gladly recommend them to a friend. Good price, good pencils, plus you get extra lead and extra erasures. If they stay the same, good deal.
