Paper Mate Non-Stop Mechanical Pencils With Eraser - 0.7mm - HB #2 - Assorted Colours - Pack of 8 Pencils

Best pencils I’ve used. Last ages. Twist up motion is much better than the clicker ones. Nice colours too.

We keep buying these pencils as they are better than those which use refillable "leads". The spring loading of the tip makes them easy to use and greatly reduces the risk of breaking the lead. These particular ones are transparent so you can see how much is left to use, though I have not found it to be a problem using opaque ones. The eraser is handy when using them to do puzzles (!) though it usually wears down before the lead runs out. It is hard to see how a larger eraser could be designed in though. And of course no pencil sharpener is required!

The pens arrived quickly and are very colourful.

I use propelling pencils with erasers a lot and I always use these. I think they're the only ones which are reliable. I always buy them.

Cheap, simple to use, cheerful design and you can see how much ledge we have left: what’s not to like??

Not at all sure if there are 'proper' papermate pencils. The lead is very soft and smudges which is not what I want at all. They also come loose in a bag with individual bar code labels which when taken off leave a very sticky residue - all which took quite sometime to clean up. And pink rubbers on the end. I've had papermate pencils for years - these are the absolute worse.

Papermate non stop pencils....so handy with erazor attached...always a good buy.

Dye from pencil is coming off on fingers when holding it! Not what you’d expect! The eraser is also dyed! Otherwise it functions as a pencil should!
