Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

Works like a charm. My only complaint is that people keep walking away with them. They have refill packs available, and i've been using them for 6 months and have yet to see one break.

Pencils write nicely. These pencils enable me to make very precise marks.

Pentel mechanical pencils are extraordinarily good. I prefer pencils that are a little thicker than a normal ticonderoga.

Even the eraser is of the high quality, non-smudging type. They have a slightly cushioned grip and a nice, large eraser. Only downside is that the erasers go fast.

The only mechanical pencil i've used that can use down to 3mm of lead. Strong, sturdy and ensure that every last drop of lead gets used up with no wastage like other pencils.

Cons

The red leads snap off with the slightest pressure so now i have a dozen unusable pencils. Not worth the money for a single pencil.

Quality

Strong, sturdy and ensure that every last drop of lead gets used up with no wastage like other pencils.

These are the strongest and most durable mechanical pencils i have ever used.

Cannot stand pencils that waste the last 1/4 inch of lead.

These are nice mechanical pencils, but the lead breaks easily.

Price

The price is wonderful given that there are a dozen of them!

These are my favorite pencils so at this price.

Searched the internet and these were ridiculously priced.

The only problem is that with my last order, i got 1 pencil for $9 instead of 12.

Shipping

Arrived on time and in new condition.

Package came much quicker than expected and everything is perfect.

Packaging/appearance

The packing slip and the sticker on the bag the pencil was in said 12 count, so hopefully the replacement they send is actually... Read More

Competitiveness

I tried many other more expensive mechanical pencils but i always return back to this one.

I don’t have the problem of the lead breaking easily that i have had with other brands.
