Why did you pick this product vs others?:I do soduko and crossword puzzles and these pencils are my favorite ones to use. PROSThey are comfy to hold. They are the thickness of a comfortable pen.They take .07mm leads so they write nicely and are always easy to see. They smoothly glide as you write, they don't feel hard and sticky like some mech pencils do.They erase completely. CONSThough the eraser is large because it twists up as you need it I find that twisting design twists in its own when im writing so when I need the eraser it's all the way down and I have to twist it up every time. I find it easier to use a separate eraser. The grippers around the bottom come loose and just flop around so I have to tear or cut them off. The pencil is still very much usable without them, though.I will continue to purchase these pencils because they are the best I've found.

I've been using the Paper Mate Clearpoint Mechanical Pencils for a while now, and they’ve become my go-to for both note-taking and sketching. The erasability is excellent, the attached twist-up eraser actually works well and lasts longer than most built-in erasers. It erases cleanly without leaving smudges or tearing the paper.In terms of comfort, the grip is soft and ergonomic, making long writing sessions much easier on the hand. It’s definitely one of the more comfortable mechanical pencils I’ve used.The lead quality is also solid. It writes smoothly and quickly with minimal drag, and the pencil lays down a consistent line that’s easy to read. Write speed feels natural and fluid, great for fast note-taking.One thing I really appreciate is how well it holds up, breakability is low. The lead doesn’t snap easily unless you’re pressing down super hard, and the pencil itself feels sturdy, not flimsy like cheaper brands.Overall, these pencils work extremely well and check all the boxes: comfort, durability, clean erasing, and smooth writing. Highly recommend, especially for students or anyone who writes a lot!

These are great for long note taking sessions. There are small grips on the pencil that make it easy to hold onto and it has never slipped out of my hand. The shape is good and does not lead to hand cramps. These are great for students.

My favorite pencil. Easy to refill. I prefer a larger lead and it handles it well. The grip is really nice because I hold my pencil with a strong grip and press hard. The erasers work well, too. The only downside is when the lead gets short, it just falls out of the pencil. I always keep 2-3 ready to go so that I am not slowed down by trying to get a new lead to load.

I’ve always been a big fan of paper mate comfy grip and vibrant colors. I’d recommend these lead pencils. I like that there is so much eraser and you can refill the lead and eraser.The lead size is 0.7Also I’ve included a picture of how it writes and the pencils.

The Paper Mate Clearpoint Mechanical Pencils have been my go-to pencils for years, and they never disappoint!The 0.7mm HB #2 lead strikes the perfect balance between smooth writing and durability. Whether I’m taking notes, sketching, or grading papers, the lead glides effortlessly across the page without breaking.The clear barrel design and built-in eraser are fantastic features. I love being able to see how much lead is left, and the twist-up eraser lasts surprisingly long without smudging. The assorted barrel colors add a fun pop of personality to my pencil case, too!These pencils are incredibly comfortable to hold, even during long writing sessions, thanks to the ergonomic grip. Refilling them is quick and simple, which means I get to use them for a long time without waste.Highly recommend these for students, teachers, artists, or anyone who appreciates a high-quality mechanical pencil. They’re worth every penny!

I like them but they do seem to jam up sometimes
