ARTEZA #2 HB Pencils in Bulk, 96 Pack, Pre-Sharpened, Writing Tools with Latex-Free Erasers, Essential for School, Office, Art and Design Environments

I'd initially bought these pencils for the kids for the new school year, the large box was such a bargain for 180 I went for that as I thought "pencils are always handy". For sure they have been - a recent DIY project has seen me forget where I've left my pencil countless times and it's been a godsend to have a box full of them, already sharpened and ready to go! As well as working on paper and card I'm happy to report they work on wood, metal, tiles, plaster, tile backer-boards, vinyl floor boards and unlike pens write any way up.

Probably best pencils on the planet, and superb price for the quality you get! I truly love these pencils! Fantastic product, great quality and awesome value for the money. Very pleased! This product is superior to some of the very popular German brands! Lead is solid and quite dark, so good for use in exams! I have 3 children in reception, Year 2 and year 5. Thus, the demand for pencils in our household is very high. With this box, I won’t mind them losing any pencils at all, as we have lots to last us a very long time!Update November 2020: Just ordered my second box of 180 pencils, as with the amount of homeschooling and homework, these are very handy to have. No need to be running around looking for pencils and or sharpeners! The only challenge is my wife will likely tell me off for ordering so many pencils!

Excellent item. Not very dark in color but grey. Also the rubber is hard and easy to erase clear and neat. However good at all.

Disappointed with these - seemed fine to start but wood is too soft so when sharpening lead is exposed too much making them easy to snap the lead - kids soon discovered this so I ended up constantly having to resharpen themNow switching to Norris which I feel sharpen better as wood shaft is stronger

The quality of these pencils are great, they are great quality, feel top quality and is a bonus that they're pre-sharpened. Perfect for students in the classroom when they need a pencil.
