Pentel Twist-Erase Express Mechanical Pencil, (0.7mm), Medium Line, Assorted Fashion Colors, Pack of 5 (QE417FBP5M)

These are my favorite pencils. I use them at work all the time. I love the eraser. I hate that other pencils only have that tiny eraser and this one has the eraser that you twist up! Love

Quality you expect from Pentel.

When my son came home from school asking for these pencils, I though he just liked being able to twist up the erasers. In all fairness, that is the feature that excited him the most, but he kept saying they were easy to write with and his hand wasn't as tired after using it. I do my best to get my kids school supplies that they enjoy using because I know how much more I enjoy my own work when I have tools and supplies that work well or I like for whatever reason. So while a pencil choice might sound a bit silly, I see it as a way of encouraging my kids at school. Compared to other pencils, these aren't exactly cheap, so I initially picked up a 2 pack at a local store, hoping my son would get his fascination with the twist eraser out of his system and this would be the end of it. But when I actually used the pencil? Well let's just say it's the first time in my life I've said 'Wow' after writing with a pencil. It's so incredibly smooth! It actually writes smoother than many pens I've used. And it does not break nearly as easily as most other pencils we've used, mechanical or wooden. So off to Amazon I went to purchase more at a better price, because mom wants a few of these pencils now, too. Now, personally, I'm not super jazzed about the twist eraser as the eraser likes to twist itself out while in my purse (not all the way out, but out enough that I have to twist it back in before each use). This is probably because I don't use pencils often so it sits in my purse getting jostled around for quite a while before it gets pulled out. My son does not have this issue with the ones in his backpack, as he uses them every day at school. He also uses the eraser a lot, so having an extra long eraser is not only 'cool', it's practical for him. One could just buy the strong-yet-buttery-smooth lead refills and put them in a cheaper pencil, if you don't have need or desire for the extra eraser. But this pencil is also very comfortable in my hand, lightweight and balanced well, so I haven't bothered to do that personally. Still, it's an option if you prefer a different pencil design.

Not the original "Twist-Erase" pencils. My bad, it says 'Express'. Not bad pencils, just not the bulk I'm used to with the original Pentel Twist-Erase Mechanical Pencils!!

I've had a favorite pencil for years and have spent top dollar on them. Until now. My husband just thanked me for buying these pencils for his propagating business. they are tough , no smear, clear writing and the lead doesnt break . he uses them for writing tags on his plants. he's searched forever for the right pencil for this job and this is it ! i use them for writing everything- lists, notes, calendars - anything needing a dependable pencil with an eraser that works! not some dinky piece of plastic eraser but a large, twist up clean working eraser that is perfect in removing every trace. i think they are made with kids in mind because of the price point and the durability, and the strong lead and the great eraser. but for perfectionist adults , they are the bomb!

TWIST ERASE MECHANICAL PENCIL: HANDS-DOWN this is the BEST mechanical pencil on the planet ... or at least the best one I can find. The pencil is quality made, holds lots of lead, and has the absolute BEST eraser which is big, replaceable, and quality (it erases well, does not shred, and won't rip paper). I have purchased this pencil for my kids for several years and, in my experience, it will last a full school year. BONUS: It comes in 5 good neutral colors. DOWNSIDE: There are probably more comfortable mechanical pencils on the market - with squishier cushions (but those squish cushions gather dust and glitter from pencil boxes. So get this pencil :)

Can a pencil change your life? Doubtful. Can you look forward to using a pencil for mundane work tasks as if you were a child on Christmas afternoon, excitedly remembering your new bounty of playthings? My experience says yes. I enjoy the thicker diameter of the pencil itself compared to the fine writing point. The small metal tip helps to reduce lead breaking so typical of mechanical pencils. Erases well.

What are the things I like best is that the writing of this pencil is fine. It’s not thick like a standard Pencils. I love the grip it has. One of the best things is the eraser that very conveniently will pull up. It’s easy to refill and I love the colors. I’ve been buying these for five or six years now and will continue to do so. It’s a good value for the money.

These are very affordable! I prefer the newer models because they have a larger grip, but for the price these can't be beat. I love the twist-erase feature of these kinds of mechanical pencils; I hardly ever use a standard eraser anymore.
