Paper Mate EverStrong #2 Pencils, Reinforced, Break-Resistant Lead When Writing, 72 Count

None of my pencils came broken and neither are ant of the erasers. The box came in great shape and they are fantastic pencils. I haven’t had the pencil led break on me anytime this year and I bought these to hand them out to classmates who may need some pencils, I’m honestly surprised and overjoyed by the quality. Especially the erasers they aren’t the cheap smudgy kind that are unusable. They come sharpened but I recommend sharpening again before you use them especially if you’re aiming for precision and sharp writing.

Product as described

Good product and durable.

I bought these for my kids (and myself), and they’re honestly some of the best pencils we’ve used. The reinforced lead really does make a difference — no more constant sharpening or snapping every few minutes. They write super smooth, the eraser actually works without smudging, and they sharpen evenly every time. Great for homework, tests, or even sketching. If you’re tired of cheap pencils that break right when you start writing, these are definitely worth it. Solid quality from Paper Mate as always!

My likes and dislike: What I like: These pencils are sturdy and well made. They don't have a slightly bendy feel to the barrel nor a waxy type feel to the lead like some pencils do. They sharpen well with very little breakage; making them longer lasting and a good value for the money. The eraser works very well and doesn't leave pink smudges behind which, as someone who makes a lot of mistakes, is appreciated. Dislike: I don't care for the way that these pencils come sharpened (I prefer a longer point to my lead) but this is very easily fixed. These are good quality pencils and I would recommend them.
