PentelTwist-Erase III Mechanical Pencil, (0.7mm), Medium Line, Assorted Fashion Color Barrels, Pack of 4 (QE517FBP4M)

I love the way they feel in my hand and the way they write.

Best pencils ever! Clean erasers, clear writing, sturdy, comfortable. I now have them everywhere.

These are good mechanical pencils. I don't usually prefer the thicker .7mm lead, but it will come in handy for some uses. The mechanical pencil itself is of very good quality and functions as it's supposed to. It comes with some lead if you pull apart the pencil. It's easy to insert and bring it down to the point with a few clicks. The twisting function pushes out the eraser which will extend out as far as you need. They are also very easy to replace as well. The eraser works well and doesn't leave any smudging.The four pack comes with a variety of pencil housing colors. They are a Teal color, a Purple color, a Yellowish-Light Green color, and a Pinkish color as opposed to Red. I recently responded to a question about the last color asking if it was Pink or Red. I would describe the color more as a Pink than Red.Overall, these are fantastic mechanical pencils that would work great for writing, construction project marking, and every day use. They are decent for quick sketching and drawing, but I would prefer actual drawing pencils for any serious drawing. I would highly recommend them for the uses as described above.

I use a pencil far more frequently than I do ink pens and my favorite pencil for the last 15+ years is a black Pentel .5 Twist-Erase pencil. After that many years it still works like it did when it was new. I decided I wanted more of these pencils to leave at work, in my car, etc. so I ordered this four-piece set. I was pleasantly surprised to see that the design has not changed at all since I bought my first one (pic). Pentel’s eraser is a far superior design to the stubby eraser that so many other mechanical pencils use (pic). It erases better and lasts so much longer avoiding frequent changes.

Pentel mechanical pencils were my pencil of choice when I was in school at the tail end of the 1900s and now that I'm homeschooling my own kid, they're still what I choose to fill our supply boxes with. These have a neat twist-up eraser that's big enough to get the job done and soft enough to do it without destroying your paper in the process. Even my 7 year old can get a clean erasure with no damage to the paper with very little effort. She also finds twisting the eraser up and down endlessly fun. I'm actually pretty impressed with how well the pencil handles that volume of usage without falling apart itself. The lead clicks out easily and stays put without slipping back inside or breaking off any more than I'd expect all mechanical pencils to. The colors in this set are nice and cheerful as well. It's all around my favorite pencil brand and I'm sure I'll buy dozens more of these in my lifetime.

These pencils are great for my daughter who likes to draw with pencils she does not have to sharpen. The grip is good. They come in several colors and she will enjoy using these in school and when she sketches.

These mechanical pencils are little larger than a regular mechanical pencil. I don't mind that. They felt great writing with them. The erasers is very long. I also appreciate that! It's not that typical small eraser that hardly last. The lead writes nicely. It smudges a little but not enough for me to take a star away. Easy to load more lead by removing the erasers.

My husband loves these pencils. They're his pencil of choice when he's in the field- he says they don't break super easily and are easy to write with. The twist eraser is also clutch. Very nice pencils and we'd happily buy more
