Pros

Price


This set is at a great price for everything it includes and i love the pencils


All good, fast deliver, will buy from again, great price


It's nice to get lots supplies for the price, we like them.


Not my first choice for a drafting pencil, but hard to go wrong at this price.

It certainly is a step up from a bic or other cheap alternative.
