- Reviewed in the United States on August 17, 2023This mechanical pencil is comfortable to use and reliable. The leads are dark enough to write well and are of a good thickness for use in my checkbook and in making drawings. I like the twist to extend eraser. That's really handy. It stores extra leads inside the barrel. The pencil comes with a container of leads and another shaft of eraser. This should last me quite a while. I consider this pencil a great value for the price.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 23, 2024I would suggest putting a little in the packaging explaining that in order to put extra lead refills in pencils barrel, you MUST pull the top of the unit off to gain access. It took me a little while to figure it out. Other than that, the pencil is good.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 6, 2025I love using a led pencil to do crosswords and this one is really nice. I wish that I could remove the clip near the top but other than that I am very please with this pencil.
