Love these mechanical pencils

Love these mechanical pencils.  I wish the eraser compartment wasn't so deep, so that you could actually use more of the eraser -- at least half of it isn't really usable as you have to remove the eraser before it gets flush with the pencil otherwise its a pain to get it out.  Other than that, great product.

Best mechanical pencil ever !
No longer have to rotate my pencil to get a sharper edge. Its comfortable and well worth the money.

I was thrilled to discover the Velocity Mechanical pencil, with its comfortable hand-fit and smooth styling. The fact that these are #2 lead and can be used for Scantrons at university is the icing on the cake. Hands down the best under $5 mechanical pencil I've found. Definitely worth investing in the 12 pack.

Love these pencils!
I normally use too much pressure when I write and this has helped relieved a lot of stress on my hands! I feel I could write forever with one of these.

My only problem was figuring out how to change the eraser! I guess I never stuck with any one mechanical pencil long enough to figure out or I simply used a block eraser.  When I was stumped at the magical pencil's inability to erase when it was rubbed flat, I realized I had a problem.  The pencil does not separate in a way where you can pop off the end and push through.

Replacing the Eraser:
Here is what you will need to do. Slide the tip of a sharp knife in the middle. Once in, angle the knife towards the wall of the pencil and pull the other half of the eraser out.  The replacement erasers will stay on without needing half of it to be shoved down and so much of it being wasted. Make sure to change it before it goes flat again. Until then, enjoy!

*Update* I love everything about the grip.  I was so excited about this pencil I went back to the store and bought 3 more sets. Why? It's comfortable and doesn't hinder writing!  HOWEVER I have to come back to remove two stars for two reasons.  (1) The nib keeps falling off and (2) It doesn't/won't  use all the lead.  I previously said you won't mind changing the eraser, but I change my mind.  IT IS a pain and it is wasteful. Now that I'm paying attention, the lead breaks more often than I like or it gets jammed and doesn't write if you load more than ONE.  (Although I notice with the Twist-up erasers they work well when two are loaded.)

I have since moved onto&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Paper-Mate-Clearpoint-0-7mm-Mechanical-Pencil-Starter-Set-Assorted-Colors/dp/B001T6QCJC/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Paper Mate Clearpoint 0.7mm Mechanical Pencil Starter Set, Assorted Colors</a>&nbsp;and Pentel's Twist-Eraser Express mechanical pencils to see if they work better.

I love these things and wish they weren't currently discontinued. I've been using them since I was 9 in 1998. I should've bought more! They're a nice slimmer mechanical pencil with a convenient clicking location and fun colors with the barrel. They're the perfect width with the grip. I love drawing with them.

This is probably the best mechanical pencil I have ever used! I ordered it for drawing and sketching. It has a very good weight in your hand, and the comfort grip is the most comfortable grip I have ever felt on a pencil! I love that you just shake the pencil to get more lead and can put it on a 'locked' setting so lead doesn't accidentally come out while I have it in a pencil case in my purse. Lovely product and I absolutely LOVE using it! Definitely worth the money I paid.

This is my second set of these pencils. I love them. The shape makes them easy to hold and the colors are beautiful. This set is for my 13 year old granddaughter. She loves my set so much, I bought her one.

I really like these pencils. They are easy to use and I love the tin they come in. I've made some really great pictures with just these 12 pencils, and I have to say I would really like to have more now. I think it's important for me to add that I am new to watercolor pencils, so I don't have anything to compare them with, but as of right now I am thoroughly enjoying them.

I love all of the Sharp Kerry Mechanical Pencils.  Nice Functionality and hasn't jammed like many of the other brands.  Great look, Color, packaging etc.  I bought a few more pencils like this in different colors.

I love Ticonderoga pencils.  The difference in them, however, I noticed in myself using them when I was in school and my kids using them now for school is that they are much more lightweight and easy to break (fragile) than regular #2 pencils but they write smoothly and feel good in your hand so they get an A+ in my book every day of the week.  These particular pencils (again they are #2 if you are concerned or don't know the difference in regular #2 pencils and these) come pre sharpened.  None had broken points and all were perfectly sharpened.  Love them.

Honestly I have used a variety of mechanical pencils, these ones are perfect for me! The erasers are good and strong, write well enough.
For my son the main thing was the colour of pencil case, so he took all pencils in orange cases (orange is his favourite colour), my nephew took the blue ones. One pack of pencils is for all members of my family. I am glad they are not ordinary boring pencils, they have bright many-colored cases.

I love these additions to my collection. They are versatile, easy to blend. True to color and don't leave a wax build up finish. They come in a durable tin ready to be used. I would recommend these pencils! I'm partial to Derwent brand and some prisma but I look forward to using them all together.

If my office won't buy these for me, I buy them myself.  I won't use anything else.  I press hard and these are the only mechanical pencils that I can use without going through lead like water.

I wish they had these mechanical pencils when I was in school!  I always had an issue with breaking the leads of the other brands, as do my children, however these are super strong and very difficult to break the lead if from simply writing alone. I do wish, however, that more lead was in each pencil.

This is the second set of two pencils I have bought in 8 years. The only reason I had to buy more is because I lost the first set. These are a lot more expensive than a lot of pencils out there, so if you tend to lose pencils easily then these are not for you.

The grip is very comfortable and slip resistant. The erasers are of very high quality, and being so long they last a long time without changing. The chamber that holds the lead is very spacious, meaning you only have to refill the pencil once every couple of months. This really is a mechanical pencil which you can use without any upkeep of any kind for long periods of time.

Love these worth every dollar.  I have gotten addicted in buying pencil sets.  This set is in the top 5.  Nice and smooth
