[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] With two kids doing at-home learning and one person working from home, we go through pencils like they are going out of style. A pencil that is strong enough to hold up to our everyday use, sharpens up well, and has a decent eraser is harder to come by than you might think! We loved these pencils, and their initial sharpness was a nice side benefit. The only downside we found was that the erasers tended to break in half during vigorous use. In general, we were big fans of these pencils!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We are doing virtual school this year and I swear we can not keep enough pencils in our house. My 16 year old and my 9 year old have plenty of computer work but there is still enough paper work to merit a plethora of pencils. We love these Paper Mate ones. I grabbed a bunch when my oldest needed them for his ACT practice work.

And I dislike when I have a pack of pencils that has to be sharpened especially when you don’t have a sharpener. These pencils are ready to use and sharpened.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] With the kids still learning from home. Wooden pencils are a must and you can never have enough. So i was super excited when i received my 24pk of #2 pencils. I can comfortably say that we may have enough pencils to finish out the school year. Oh by the way did i mention that they come pre sharpened! That makes this a five star product.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These pencils are great quality! I got them for my son to keep as backups to his mechanical pencils. I didn't have high expectations as I have been burned before by wooden pencils. You know how it goes... the lead breaks easily, so you go to sharpen them, and the wood shreds like pulled pork, in turn making the lead inside unstable to where it breaks even further up the pencil. However, the first time my son had to sharpen one of these pencils, it came out just as smooth as when we first opened the package, and the lead writes smoothly and doesn't crumble under normal pressure. This is a great, sturdy pencil that I wish we'd tried years ago!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product a few weeks ago and I am so glad that I did! I love this this product comes already sharpened and ready to go! There is nothing about this product that I dislike! This product is easy to use.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These pencils seem to hold up strong and write well. Sharpen easily and wear well. I would prefer they be slightly larger to be more comfortable in my hand but it's that way with all brands. But it would have been a bonus.

These woodcase pencils feature reinforced, break-resistant lead when writing, so they need less sharpening and last longer. The wooden pencils also feature 100% latex-free erasers. Medium soft lead pencils are great for everyday writing needs at home or in the office
