These pencils are well made and work perfectly when I my granddaughters hand. These pencils are smaller than expected and don’t fit in my hand and are uncomfortable for me to hold but I am 6.2 and heavy set

good for drawing

Good quality product

Usually these pencils are heavy so hand is steady when you draw but these are very light. Whoever is used to faber castell pencils will get im talking about

I purchased this pack out of convenience as I needed a 0.35 for my illustrative work quickly. I had already owned a Faber Castell 0.35 mechanical pencil but it broke from a jam due to the fine lead, I assumed it was a fluke. I really should have learnt from my first experience but I had the exact same issue with the 0.35 from this pack, it took 3 months for it to stop working after consistent feeding issues either not coming out to the whole lead sliding out of the pencil, something I would expect from a off brand mechanical pencil.As for 0.75 and 0.50. They are are fine but honestly don't bring anything any to the table that any other cheaper mechanical pencil or in fact a well sharpened standard graphite pencil would offer. Lead is nice I guess, if a little frail but you can just buy the lead separately and put it into another, better pencil. They also look nice with good grip and handling but other brands offer that luxury for cheaper.Looking at other reviews this is a common problem for anyone who actually attempts to use this pencil. I would not recommend this set.

Pack of three Mechanical pencils. The 0.7 and 0.5 work fine. The 0.35 was problematic. The lead (graphite) inside constantly broke when pressing the top to reveal more of the 0.35 lead, and it intermittently slipped back into the barrel of the pencil when you finally get the lead to emerge and put it to paper. I Had to remove bits of the broken lead (and the other two leads inside the pencil), make sure no small lengths left inside, then very carefully insert a single 0.35 lead and started again. This problem seems to be solved - so far - now that there is only one 0.35 lead in the pencil. This is a mechanical issue, not the leads in the pencils. These are excellent and produce smooth and consistent marks on the paper used. In conclusion: Initial disappointment from usual excellent Faber-Castell products but will monitor and report back.

Wonderful pencils which remind me of being back at school and using them for my technology O Level project. So nostalgia too

I love Faber-Castell. It's all I use.The 0.35mm pencil, however, is absolutely atrocious. This is my second one inside of four days and the same problem is happening with the second pencil. The mechanism is botched and constantly snaps the lead inside the pencil. I've tried two new leads since my pencil arrived just under half hour ago and that's two more broken pencil lead. Great.
