Madisi Wood-Cased #2 HB Pencils, Yellow, Pre-sharpened, Bulk Pack, 1000 pencils

We have used these pencils several years now for Operation Christmas Child Shoeboxes. We appreciate that they are already sharpened! Saves us a lot of time and energy. Good price for a good quantity.

Pre-sharpened is a life saver! These pencils write smoothly and are easy to sharpen. I use these pencils for testing groups and they have lasted the entire year. Well worth the money for sharpened pencils. The erasers are good quality too.

I love these pencils! They sharpen easily and you get them for a great price and at a quality that actually lasts! I usually buy one box per year for my classroom! I have about 100 students total each year and I still have left over pencils by the end of the year! These are my go to writing utensils!

I was originally skeptical of a brand that I had never heard of before, but the price was great and I pack over 100 Operation Christmas Child shoeboxes, so I thought I would give them a try. I sharpened up a half dozen of them, with a small handheld pencil sharpener. They were easy to sharpen, didn't break while sharpening and wrote well. When packing for shoeboxes, I like to be sure that the item is of good quality, so I used several of these for over a month and was very pleased with their performance!

These are perfect for Operation Christmas Child shoeboxes.

I'm a middle school English teacher. Pictures of the other product reviewers have shown pictures of the product in various states of packaging that was questionable. All of mine delivered nicely and neatly stacked, even though I accidentally stabbed myself with one of the tips when I opened the box. The tips are very fine. They will need to be sharpened in no time for the end user, who will no doubt use them to press the paper with the force of a gorilla, and you'll wonder why you hear the pencil sharpener buzz every 20 seconds that you are trying to deliver instruction, despite the fact you can tell them until the end of time they're not supposed to do that. Bar none, these pencils come at a great price and will still reduce the prep time that you are spending sharpening pencils yourself, for individuals that break them, leave them on the floor, throw them away, or otherwise refuse to put them back in the class pencil box. In other words, the quality and price are entirely acceptable for a generation who appreciates and understands the value of nothing at all.

Good quality pencils and pre sharpened 👍🏾

You had me at “pre-sharpened!” this school year I did NOT want to fight that battle over getting teens to do their work when they can’t find a pencil. I think I have enough pencils to last 2 years… how many pencils CAN 185 juniors devour in a 180 day school year? You do the math - I’m just an English teacher.
