    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I have purchased a couple of these pencils in 0


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I like them quite a bit but i find that they arent very sturdy and the tips bend if dropped which then makes the lead inside them break rendering the pencil pretty useless

    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Its great for your money but one nitpick i have on it is that i did not get the lead that is i think supposed to come with it although that is not an issue for me considering i can buy more i already have some at my house it was something worth mentioning
