Ticonderoga Wood Pencils, Unsharpened, #2 HB .3 mm Lead, Yellow, 24 Count

When I get pencils I prefer Dixon Ticonderoga. Tried and True. They're good quality, and inexpensive. This pack of 24 will probably last me a couple years. They sharpen nice and write smoothly and leave a nice dark "mark" on the pages. The erasers work good as well.

Title: 24 Pack of Yellow %232 Pencils — For When You Refuse to Be Defeated by a Blank Page Review: If you're reading a review for basic yellow %232 pencils, life has brought you to a fascinating crossroads. Maybe you're stocking up for school, preparing for a standardized test, or finally admitting that pens are just permanent mistakes waiting to happen. These pencils are exactly what you think they are: yellow, pointy, and suspiciously optimistic. They sharpen without drama, write smoothly, and the erasers remove errors with the quiet dignity of pretending the mistake never happened. The graphite is reliable, the wood doesn't splinter, and they won't judge you for spelling “definitely” wrong for the 700th time. Are they fancy? No. Do they connect to Bluetooth? Also no. Will they survive a backpack, desk drawer, or mild existential crisis? Absolutely. Perfect for classrooms, offices, crossword puzzles, and anyone who enjoys the comforting scratch of graphite on paper. Five stars for doing exactly what pencils have done since the dawn of homework. ✏️

Take it from a teacher, don't skimp. Or else your child will just be breaking off lead right after sharpening, or having an off centered lead, or the plastic decorative outer layer that sticks in the sharpener. Ticonderoga are THE name in pencils for a reason.

These pencils last longer and have better writing quality. You pay more but you get a better product.

I have difficulty using mechanical pencils and had trouble finding a standard number 2 pencil with high quality. This grade of quality is great. I can enjoy using standard pencils again.

These are the better pencils in the market all teachers recommend for all my school kids and didn't take long to sharpen keep in mind these are not pre sharpened

Works great! High quality pencil, with consistent lead. Easy to sharpen, and the wood doesn't split in electric or mechanical sharpeners. Easy to hold. Great for art. Fantastic eraser.

Ticonderoga pencils used to be the best - with a nice size circumference providing a reasonably comfortable grip, a good eraser and dark lead that writes clearly and fluidly. Unfortunately, all of these features seem to have gone downhill; the pencils are skinnier and less comfortable to hold; the lead is little scratchier, lighter and doesn't seem to last as long, requiring more frequent sharpening. The eraser, although sturdy, is less effective; I can still see the markings after erasing. It's really too bad. Ticonderoga used to be the gold standard for pencils. While these new ones are adequate, they are just not as good as they used to be.

My 12 year old daughter requested the Ticonderoga pencils for Christmas. She says the tips are softer than the other brand. Alas, a gift that does not punish my pocketbook!!

Ticondaroga pencils used to write much darker therefore visible on all my various papers but they seem to be off their game, maybe skimping on something. They just don't write as dark and at times you can barely see the writing at all.8
