Perfect for my Students!

I love to buy these BIC Xtra Strong Mechanical Pencils for my students. Many students come to school without a pencil, so I give these out to them. I typically pick up a pack whenever I am grocery shopping. I particularly like these because the lead is stronger. I teach special education and some of my students press down too hard on the paper. Other mechanical pencil leads break, but not these.

GREAT Buy

These pencils are a great value for the price. They write smoothly, don’t break easily, and the 0.9 mm lead is perfect for everyday use—especially for kids or anyone who tends to press a little harder when writing. The built-in erasers actually work well, which is a nice bonus.

Great pencils with thick lead!

As a teacher our class goes through dozens of pencil sometimes in one day. These pencils has good quality, thick lead which does not break easily. This allows the students to write without interruption. The lead in the pencils last months and the students enjoy the various colors.

Love using for our family calendar

Everyone in my house loves these pencils. They easily click to get more led. The eraser works well! We have a family calendar that I was using pen to fill in our activities, and times or dates would change so frequently that the calendar would look so ugly with so many scratch outs. Now, that I am back to using pencils after at least a 25 year break HAHAh I may not ever use a pen again. The colors are cute too. I totally recommend these pencils.

Have yet to break the lead!

My daughter and I both love these pencils. These are the first mechanical pencil lens. I haven’t broken – so frustrating. I literally have used an entire one of these pencils and the lead has not broken not one single time! Eraser works well too! We are happy with these pencils and will order more. 100% recommend.

Great for kiddos!

Great fun pencils for kids! We homeschool and sometimes boring pencils with erasers don't motivate well. I pull one of these out for a fun change and the kids love it! They're so easy for them to use with the thicker lead and they don't break them. The colors are fun and exciting and they're easy to write with and click. Great click pencil for kiddos that need a little excitement in their school day!

Reliable and Durable pencils

I have been teaching children for the past 30 years and these are hands my favorite pencils to use. The thicker lead means less breakage (almost none). Super easy to read, doesn’t smudge, easy to erase, loaded with enough lead to last, same with the eraser. I just use a cap eraser for preference. Plus Walmart has the value pack at a super great price!

Excellent Durable Pencils That Really Work

These BIC Xtra Strong mechanical pencils are an excellent choice for anyone who needs reliable writing instruments. The 0.9mm lead is perfect for everyday writing and note-taking, providing a smooth, consistent line quality. The pack of 24 offers tremendous value, and the durable construction means these pencils will withstand regular use without breaking or wearing out quickly. I especially appreciate how sturdy the pencils are - the lead doesn't snap easily, which is a common problem with cheaper brands. I've been using these pencils for several weeks now and I'm impressed by their performance. They're comfortable to hold for extended periods and the eraser works well without smudging. Whether you're a student, professional, or simply someone who writes frequently, these mechanical pencils deliver excellent quality at a great price. The Xtra Strong feature really sets them apart from other options I've tried. I highly recommend these to anyone looking for dependable writing tools.

Good lead but bad plastic quality.

These pencils are so thin that they break really easy. I'm not talking about the lead. I mean the plastic itself is too thin and easily cracked. I won't be buying this box again.

Does not erase on notecards/index cards

The lead is stronger BUT it smears. It is not as sharp as the thinner lead. Also works very POORLY with notecards/flashcards. On top of smearing, the eraser is terrible! It will not erase on notecards/index cards or any type of thicker paper - only makes the writing lighter. It does well on thin lined paper or worksheets. It would work for younger kids who don’t study using flashcards. I’ll stick to the originals because these aren’t worth the money.
