Pentel Twist-Erase III Automatic Pencils .5mm, Assorted Colors, 2/Pack

"A FRIEND/BUSINESS ASSOCIATE GAVE ME ONE....THE ERASER FUNCTION IS ESPECIALLY GREAT TO ME....I WAS ALWAYS TAKING CAPS OFF OTHER MECH PENCILS....LOVE THIS FEATURE...I USE IT DAILY AND HAVE SEVERAL OF THEM."

"I use these pencils to take notes during school, but I have to refill them quickly. I tend to press harder when taking tests so these pencils are impractical during test-taking circumstances, as the pencil may run out of lead just when you need it most. The pencil works well for note-taking, because highlighter glides smoothly over the writing and the lead from the pencil won't fade from the page like many competitors will. This pencil is a mixed bag, you just have to decide what YOU personally want out of a pencil."

"I have yet to find the perfect mechanical. I've tried many different types and brands. I keep coming back to the Pental Twist-Erase. I like how long the eraser rubber is; on some brands the eraser is just too small. I don’t want to deal with a separate cap. The grip is comfy. It’s easy to extend more lead by squeezing your thumb against the barrel and compressing it. You don't have to reposition your grip to extend the lead. Reliability is average. They don't last for ever. They are sensitive if you drop them on the tip, if you do they never work right again. I keep a few of them on hand and when they stop working satisfactorily pick up a new one."

"This is my favorite pencil. It's extendible eraser is long lasting. The pencil holds the led firmly in place, so when I am writing, the led doesn't move around. It is excelent for small writing and details. It's only bad thing is that because the led is small, It uses the led quickly. However the small led allows for detailed writing."

"This is the best mechanical pencil I have found for continuous use at work. They are comfortable to use. The pencil line is sharp with a 0.5 mm lead and the large retractable eraser works well and lasts a long time. Most importantly, the lead advance mechanism is durable and lasts for years, whereas most most mechanical pencils become inoperative after about one year of hard use."

"I do genealogy and it often involves corrections and changes to information that I have received. I kept having "missing" pencils, so bought these. I really do think they are great. I love the extra eraser feature.....I just have to hide them so they don't become "missing", too.I highly recommend them to anyone who uses automatic pencils. Love them for my quilting projects, also..."

"I am a CPA that uses a pencil all day that I want to maintain a sharp point. I also need a substantial eraser, not one that is small and breaks off after a week of use.



This pencil has a nice comfortable grip, so no more callouses."

"I have use these pencils for years and love them, so much that i use them at work and at home. My boss used my pencil for last week for the first time and she wants me to order more for herself and for the staff. I now have to hide my pencil from the boss."

"As a person who does a lot of writing using both pen and pencil I can not say enough about the way this pencil writes I have recommended this pencil to co-workers and my high school kid. He inturn recommends them to his friends. We both will use nothing else."

"Quality product - these pencils may cost more than others but they last longer. The twist erasers are great - larger than most other pencils making it easier to erase bigger mistakes!! I no longer buy any other brand/type of mechanical pencils."
