Paper Mate Handwriting Triangular Mechanical Pencil Set with Lead & Eraser Refills, 1.3mm, 8 Count

I really like these because they help me right quickly. Without my hand getting tired of having to grip a tiny little pencil, even though they're for kids, they're really helpful for people like me. Who have chronic tension in their hands? The only thing I don't like about it is that the racers often fall out. And then refuse to stay in when you replace them. But other than that, I have no qualms.

BEST mechanical pencil I've ever used! I press hard when I write…. this lead stands up to that pressure! Triangle design is comfortable. The ONLY thing I miss %26 would suggest adding is a clip so it can be kept in a pocket or attached to a notebook.

As I get older, I have difficulty with my fingers and regular pencils. These are triangle shaped. They're not overly huge, but they're a little bit bigger than a regular pencil, and I love the fact that they are a thick print thick lead like it would be like a bold ink, pen, thickness, and now that's all I'll use is these because they make my fingers hurt less than a regular pencil and I can see the writing better because it's bold. I also found a company that makes refills for this exact pencil that 500 pencil pencil leads for less than $10 and I ordered that so I will never run out of pencil lead.

I'm an adult who pushes hard and wears out my fingers when I write. I love these pencils. I'm not able to break the lead, it is easier to write with, and the thick lines just look neater on paper. The triangular shape makes for a comfortable grip, as does the extra thickness of the pencil. These mechanical pencils are shorter than the traditional ones and clearly are made for kids, but they are my new favorite writing tool. I might still add add a soft grip for long note-taking sessions, but those definitely are not necessary with this writing instrument. My austistic 10 year old has difficulty grasping traditional pencils. He seems to like these. It appears that it makes writing more comfortable for him as well. The only thing that would make these pencils better is if we had more professional, adult-looking color options.

Great beginner pencils for toddlers. The lead is very thick so it doesn't break easy. And the lead is also dark and bold. The triangle shape makes for easy holding

Easier mechanical pencil for young prekindergarten children as well as for anyone who struggles with holding a thinner round mechanical pencil. It worked really well for my arthritic hands to draw and sketch.

I love the idea of these pencils and they are used daily by my kids For school but the erasers are not good and with young kids they write letters backwards, misspell words etc and need to erase often.

The eraser on these pencils is awful. The benefit of the triangular grip and larger lead make it worth the purchase. But the eraser is useless and just smudges everywhere.

The pen is comfortable and I love the thicker lead however the eraser smears and doesn't erase the lead. Hopefully I can find erasers to fit over this eraser so i can use it as intended.

These pencils are not satisfactory for me. They are big and clunky and the lead is big. They come apart easily and lose their lead. I will be returning these.
