Pros & Cons

There just isn’t a mechanical pencil that competes! These are really good and durable mechanical pencils. Very impressed with the durability of the lead.

Competitiveness
We finally stopped buying cheaper brands and just buy pentel now.
We've tried different brands of mechanical pencils.
