I've seen and used a lot of pencils in my 70 years. These are among the best I've used in the past. They have a nice octagonal barrel that is not overly fat or too thin. That makes them very good for use in the hand while writing. The HB #2 lead is thick enough and just what is needed for good visibility and reading. I also use them for marking wood before making cuts. The erasers also work as I expect they should on a pencil - not too hard or too soft.

Nothing better than these pencils. They don't wear down near as fast as most pencils. And the lead doesn't seem to break off near as easily as others seem to. Which makes them less expensive in the long run. I also buy these to donate to the school each year and teachers REALLY appreciate these!!

Best price I found for those pencils

The best pencils! There's a reason teachers specifically ask for this brand. Sam's always has a great deal on them too. So take advantage and buy extra to donate for your child's classroom. One tip is that these are not pre sharpened. But Sam's also sells a great electric sharpener to do it yourself if need be.

Quality pencils and the only kind I can recommend. I use to wonder why teachers would ask for Ticonderoga by name. Now I know all other pencils are difficult to sharpen and break often interrupting learning. Ticonderoga are worth the extra money to have a quality, stress-free writing instrument.

Teachers are asking for this specific brand of pencils at our school. I hope its because they will last all year! Only complaint i have is why are the presharpend ones more expensive?? Technically I'm getting less pencil...so shouldn't that qualify for a price decrease?? Anyways, this is the best price you will find these for.

These pencils are "POOP-WORTHLESS---DO NOT BUY"! Sharpen them, the lead breaks off or isn't there. I was able to use three pencils one time, the rest of the pencil sharpened away with no lead available. Last Ticonderoga pencils I buy from WalMart. Guess my friends in the office were correct, you get what you pay for!!!!! VERY, VERY DISSATISIFIED WITH THIS ORDER!!!!

These are not pre-sharpened, as advertised. The biggest drawback is the flimsiness / softness of the lead. The tips break very easily, making it so you have to constantly sharpen the pencils. It also means they wear down much quicker than most other pencils. I remember this brand from way back and they used to be high-quality so we didn't mind paying for pencils that last. These pencils are not worth the money. It almost seems like they're not genuine. = (

Pencils are no good, 8 out of 12 in each box rotten or there's no led, kids have to go thru at least 4 pencils in order to get one to write without point breaking, having to throw away pencils for this purpose is a waste, just sharpening them one after the other not being able to use them is ridiculous

Received item on time however item was not as described. The pencils were not sharpened. I checked several pencils and none were sharpened. I am very disappointed as I purchased for the reason that they would be sharpened. Now I have to purchase a sharpener. I would like a refund but I do not want to go all the way to Walmart to return pencils during this pandemic.
