Paper Mate Handwriting Triangular Mechanical Pencil Set with Lead & Eraser Refills, 1.3mm, 8 Count - Back to School, Teacher Supplies, Home, Kids Writing, Fun Barrel Colors

These are hands-down the best mechanical pencils I’ve ever used. The triangular grip is a total game changer — super comfortable, easy to hold, and perfect for longer writing sessions without hand fatigue. The thicker 1.3mm lead writes smoothly, doesn’t snap constantly, and is ideal for both kids and adults. I especially love how forgiving they are for handwriting. They’re great for anyone who struggles with fine motor control, grip strength, or just prefers a sturdier pencil (hello dyslexia/ADHD-friendly design 🙌). The erasers actually work well, and the refills are a nice bonus. Durable, comfortable, smooth-writing, and affordable — there’s a reason I’ve purchased these multiple times. If you’re on the fence, just get them. You won’t go back to regular mechanical pencils after this.

These lead pencils are great for people who constantly break the lead on mechanical pencils, like me! The barrel is wider and in a slight rectangular shape making the product much easier to grip. The lead is thicker so that means stronger to me, a person who was constantly breaking the lead. I highly recommend this product.

These are the best pencils! They are easy to use - writing and erasing is smooth and effortless. They are durable and hold up well.

My favorite pencil. Quality, design and grin of the pencil makes it great for children and adults to write with, and great value for the money.

These are by far my favorite pencils! They write so smooth and the lead does not break easily like other mechanical pencils. The shape of the pencil itself is comfortable especially when taking notes or writing for a long time!

I like the larger size. Easy grip for anyone. Extra lead. The eraser doesn’t erase well at first, but after you break them in and get the outer layer off, they erase good. Good for kids who have trouble gripping the thinner #2 pencils. The lead is thick and does not break easily! Good buy.

I am 67 years old and buy these for myself. The lead is thick so it doesn't break easily and is nice and dark. The pencil diameter is easy to hold. The eraser works well. These pencils are perfect for puzzle books, grocery lists, or anytime you want dark, legible writing.

I buy these for my younger students. The lead is nice and thick and doesn’t break. They are also ergonomic for little hands. They feel like big kids using a mechanical pencil. I’ve also used them for state testing as they are #2.
