Best pencils!
These sharp writer pencils are my go to writing utensil. They write like a dream and i love that I don’t need to sharpen them. They come in handy for my high school son every year. I always buy him a pack! I am an accountant and also love to use them. No worrying about sharpening them and the mess that comes with it. I highly recommend these for any job! The eraser always lasts past the time of the lead too. The lead lasts so much longer than other brands that I have purchased. I don’t have trouble with smudging at all with these.

Great Mechanical Pencil
These are perfect during homeschool times. I have several children currently attending school remotely. I don't know how many times the lead breaks on pencils and no one can find a pencil sharpener. These mechanical pencils are great. There is less breakage when it comes to the lead and if it does, no sharpener is needed. Just twist and continue with the assignment. I love the way they write and the erasers, erase clean. One of the best pencils I have ever used.

Great pencils
This product has 36 pencils that write with ease. They are great for homework, writing lists, or any need that involves a pencil. The color is a traditional yellow and they have a good eraser that gets the pencil off the paper for accidental marks. The 36 count means more pencils for the family to share. Since being in college and having two children in school the need for pencils has increased and this product is great for us!

I love these mechanical pencils!
I love these mechanical pencils, they don't easily break and are retractable, no more worrying about breaking lead in my backpack or inside my pencil case, and the best part is they come in a huge pack so it will take a long time before I run out of them. I especially like the fact that I can erase hard and not be worried about breaking the lead. They’re the only pencil I use now. Highly recommend!

Great mechanical pencils!
My kids prefer mechanical pencils over regular ones and these Paper Mate ones are their new favorite.
They are very easy to use, just twist the tip to expose the lead and you are ready to go. The lead is thicker than other pencils we have tried and doesn't break easily. The added eraser works great and doesn't leave smudges behind on the paper. Its a number 2 and writes very neat. Great product!

Great pencils
My son uses a lot of pencils for school. He’s constantly coming downstairs to sharpen pencils during his remote learning. Now with these mechanical pencils, that’s not necessary. They’re way to just twist the bottom and have more lead come out. I just have to teach him to only let a little bit out at a time so they don’t break. These are so much easier than sharpening pencils all the time!

Good
There is always a need for pencils in my house for the little ones and these Paper Mate mechanical pencils are a great option. I love that they give you the feel of a real pencil without having to worry about sharpening it. My kids love them. They feel like they are getting to use pens and I don’t have to deal with the hassle of cleaning up the shavings. Overall a win win for all.

Great Value, Great Performance
Not a whole lot to say about a mechanical pencil. The important part is that it works reliably and the lead is of reasonable strength. PaperMate scores on both those counts as they worked flawlessly. I use these for woodworking projects where I need a fine point and don't want to wrestle with sharpening pencils. The 36 ct. package is a great affordable solution !

Why did they change it?! I'm so disappointed in the new version. I would rather pay more for the original than ever buy this new version again. The lead is too hard, the case is ugly and it feels cheap.

Why are we no longer able to review this product? There are obviously many of us who are dissatisfied with the intentional changes to this iconic product (lighter yellow color, less durable eraser, lead hardness, etc.), and our opinions should be heard.

I tried writing a review and there is no option to do so!! Why have these been changed? I have used these pencils for DECADES. Now, the color of plastic is bright yellow AND the lead is not as dark. This new cheaper low-quality version does not write as well as the old ones, as the lead is now too light and breaks easily!

The &quot;redesign&quot; ruins the product. The lead is scratchy and barely leaves a mark, the eraser seems to wear down faster, and it's UGLY. I compare them side by side and the old one is superior in every way. I BEG you PM, give us our classic Sharpwriter back!
