[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Maybe it's just me and my heavy hand, but I kept breaking the lead. I don't tend to pick mechanical pencils over wooden ones, mainly because I do have a heavy hand when I write. I'm sure that it might work better for other people.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is next level for mechanical pencils! It's so frustrating when the tips break on the pencils. The lead seems small and brittle on all other pencils. This pencil tip is better! It doesn't look brittle or chips.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I enjoyed how the pencil writes, it's comfortable to hold. I think it's designed very well. I still have figured out how to get the lead back into the pencil so that it won't break but hopefully I'll see how to soon.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is an excellent mechanical pencil. It is very comfortable to use and the lead was not too light , like many so easy to read what I wrote. I do have many regular wood pencils too go through currently b so no need to purchase but when I do I know this is an excellent choice.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I straddle two lanes when it comes to pencils: Dixon Ticonderoga #2 OR BIC mechanicals. The biggest complaint with any pencil is broken lead, but no traditional pencil can reliably produce as consistent a stroke as a mechanical. Solve the brittle lead, and we can save a whole lot of trees.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I didn’t expect to actually notice a difference from other mechanical pencils but boy was I wrong. It is fantastic, writes smooth and i don’t have to be worried about forgetting to use a light touch when writing with it. Wonderful product

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This pencil is the BEST!! I absolutely hate using pencils but this one was so smooth I couldn't even tell it was a pencil. The grip is comfortable, the eraser worked well and the lead loading was easy to use as well.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Bic mechanical pencil is strong and comfortable in my hand. The lead doesn't break easily like so many others I've tried in the past. It comes with a large, retracting eraser, which is also a plus. I would purchase again in the future, including refills.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I gave these mechanical pencils to my young adult kids (19 and 20!) and they both put them to the test. They drew, sketched and did some writing. Both said the pencils wrote smooth and were definitely more durable than the other mechanical pencils they used when they were still in school!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Bic break resistant mechanical pencil is really nice, very good quality. These are the type of pencils I buy my son for school. I don't like the cheap ones that break because it's not worth it in the long run. I like the twistable eraser top, that makes these pencils last that much longer. This is a pencil that will last many years, and I'd rather spend my money on a pencil like this then those cheap ones that break. I will definitely consider these pencils when purchasing school supplies next year.
