Paper Mate Profile Mech Mechanical Pencils, 0.7mm #2 Pencil Lead, Comfort Grip, Assorted Barrel Colors, 8 Count - Office Supplies

Work great. Good quality, have held up well.

These smooth writing, comfortable, mechanical pencils are great. They last for a long time. My son gradually loses them, but he goes through them slowly because he loves them. We keep erasers and lead on hand. They erase well and the grip is soft. I prefer a .5, but a .7 isn’t too thick and doesn’t break as often. It has 5 stars for the price and durability. I have some drafting mechanical pencils that are almost 30 years old, those are truly 5 Star worthy. Those Kura Togas are worth a look, but if you need volume and price that isn’t fully disposable, this is it.

These are great pencils and the erasers work really good.

I love these pencils. The lead is just right for legible writing, and the pencils fits just right in my hand. I am geek enough that I like I can color coordinate the pencils with my notebooks.

Hey folks, I picked up this Paper Mate Profile Mech 0.7mm mechanical pencil set with 8 assorted colors because I needed something reliable for jotting down quick notes and checklists during my business trips. I used to grab office supplies back in Florida, and now that I'm in Delaware and always on the go, I wanted pencils that wouldn't let me down when I'm filling out forms at airports or sketching out travel itineraries in notebooks. The pack came with extra lead and erasers, which was a nice touch since I hate running out mid-task. I was hoping for pencils that feel good in the hand for long writing sessions, don't break lead all the time, and write smooth like a #2 pencil should for everyday stuff. They pretty much met those expectations. The 0.7mm lead advances easily with the top click, and it lays down a clean, dark line without smudging much on regular paper. The contoured rubber grip is comfy – no hand cramps even after outlining a full meeting agenda or listing groceries on the fly. I've used them for practical things like marking up maps for road trips, filling expense reports, and even light sketching of room layouts when planning hotel stays. The assorted barrels (blacks, blues, plums) make it easy to spot which one's mine in my bag. On the plus side, they're refillable, so you pop in new lead without fuss, and the included refills mean you're set for weeks. Value-wise, for about what you'd pay for a couple bucks per pencil plus extras, it's decent bang for your buck if you're buying for office or classroom use. Folks online say the same – good for standardized tests or paperwork where you might erase a bit. That said, they're not perfect. The lead can break if you press too hard, especially on rougher paper, which happened once when I was scribbling fast on a napkin. Some reviews mention the eraser wears down quick after a few uses, and yeah, mine got stubby after erasing a whole page of mistakes. The clip's okay for pockets but not super sturdy if you're tossing them in a stuffed backpack. And while the grip's nice, the barrel feels a tad lightweight compared to heavier metal ones I've tried before. Overall, these do the job for daily writing without any drama. If you're after something basic for notes, drawing simple diagrams, or schoolwork, they'd work fine. They met what I needed for travel and work scribbles, but I might grab finer leads next time for detailed sketches. I'd give it 4 out of 5 stars.

Awesomeness

Works great!

Comfortable to write with and writes well. Love the size and colors.

Love papermate pens. I love stationary in general - so yeah!

These pencils are very comfortable to use, the rubber grip does assist me to use this product as I do have arthritis in my writing hand. The multi pack option saves on individual packaging of single or double units, which only goes to landfill, and there is a colour choice for everyone, so sharing them with others is a great idea.

Very good pencils! Durable and confortable!
