While the pencil works well the eraser doesn't. When attempting to erase all I get is smudges and the original writing doesn't go away. Different erasers work well so it isn't the lead. It's a shame because these are the only mechanical pencils available through Stapes Advantage for my company.

Lead breaks easily and falls out. Name brands cost more but do the job much better. This isn't worth the savings.

Eraser is very weak and not strong enough to use. Usually breaks or falls apart. Not worth buying

Eraser is TERRIBLE
on May 16, 2013
Posted by: Paula K.
I bought these because of the price. This is a perfect example of "you get what you pay for" – the pencil writes fine but the entire reason I use pencils is so I can erase things too. The eraser is terrible. Every time I use the eraser it smudges the pencil marks and turns the area dark and cloudy. If I try writing over the erased area then it's hardly legible. I will NOT buy these again.

For the price that I paid these mechanical pencils are really nice. Kids used them in school and said that they are good quality.
