I didn't use much, the lead sticks break easy the tip does not hold lead properly it becomes loose. I stick to my original pencils when doing my work.

Yeah, didn't need this because one came with the printer. Shrug. I'll have it when the first one runs out in a couple of years I guess.

It met my need. One problem is the pencil stop to short, because a pen or a pencil is not the only thing placed on it

pencil provided does not work well enough to make writing legible from beyond 6 inches away.

Paper quality is not a good fit for using no. 2 pencil. Instructions are not toddler friendly.  Ok for home schooling but not for individual work.

I kind of only needed one, but there is no where else to go to find a single compass of these dimensions. Works alright too I suppose.

Great pencil and you can afford it if you lose one or two. Eraser works well, too. BIC is a great brand.

You have to practice doing this, at first. It ate up 2 of my pencils before I got the knack. You have to hold pencil straight up, and hold with 2 hands. It does not take but a count of 1-2-3-4 and it's done, but really hold onto the pencil with both hands or it will take possession of your pencil and chew it up. It is very strong, like a pencil-eater-monster. I really wish it had come with more specific instructions. I had to basically teach myself how to use it.

It's a cute dust collector...no pencil we tried fits in far enough to actually sharpen the pencil, and the grips that are meant to hold a pencil were obviously made for a smaller-diameter pencil. Apparently pencils are thinner in China, or wherever this thing was made.

I purchased this because I wanted a multi-pen with a PENCIL, but this one does NOT have a pencil. The gray clicker indicates gray ink. I was very disappointed because I love Dr. Grip pens and really needed a pen/pencil combination.

I do realise that the item title does say 3 x packs of 12 pencils, but the description also says something about there being "72" pencils to the box. Maybe fix this up, as there's clearly 36..... After shipping- not that great a value.

It's not a bad pencil, per se, but the eraser deployment mechanism could use a little work. Then one on the pd275 (.5mm lead) seems a lot more solid than the one on this, the pd279 (.9mm lead).

Works well without chewing the pencil all the way down before its sharp.

I  was a little disappointed. The descriptions did not mention there was not an eraser with this mechanical pencil. This was a gift for my teenage daughter. The point was to get her a mechanical pencil with an eraser. I suggest you put this in the description for the next purchaser.

Lead has gotten stuck behind the sleeve causing you to take it apart to clean it to make it operate properly. It only happend once in two months of use, but i'm sure it'll happen again. Perhaps the none retractable sleeve is a more reliable 0.2mm pencil.

"No solder or glue needed."  At least not until the second part in the first steps breaks along the "fold" line.

Disappointed that these pencils don't fit in a standard pencil sharpener. Pencils with no erasers were required for my grandson's kindergarten class--I have no clue how he will sharpen them...
