Wood-Cased Pencils, Pre-Sharpened, 2 HB Soft, Yellow, 72 Count

I never thought anything much about pencils other than when I was in grade school but I got a job at a warehouse where I have to fill out receiving orders and its some math involved so using pencils is a must. I was going through pencils like crazy. I press hard when I write and it makes the lead break causing a lot of sharpening.and the other pencils would alway sharpen on one side not the other. The lead in these pencils don't break like other ones. They sharpen evenly everytime. I really didn't know that there were any real noticeable differences in pencils until this job but these are hands down the best I have used and I have used many. They are a little bit more expensive than most others but a couple extra bucks are well worth not having to deal with breaking pencils my entire shift. I know I'm not the only one who likes using them because it makes my coworkers turn thieves!! I can spot my pencils by the green band at the top and have to go around collecting them from time to time!

Great pencils- all sharpened and ready to go!

I love these pencils! I work 17 years in our local school district as a substitute and a teacher assistant in the high school. During that time a concerted effort was taken to research the best pencils for note taking and testing. The Ticonderoga #2 pencil won out. The pencils have a high rate of ease in sharpening by crank and small hand sharpeners. The erasers are good quality. And the lead is dark with very little breaking. I bought these for 2 of my grandchildren because I know that neat notes and test answers are important for the student and the teacher. This is a pencil I would recommend to everyone.

Best pencil AND eraser out there. The others just don't hold up in my classroom like these do.

Great product functions great color is great worth the money easy to use. Thickness is great.

As a teacher (and parent) these pencils last forever and write beautifully. They do not smudge and I enjoy that it feels “soft” when writing on the paper as oppose to cheaper pencils when you feel like you rip the paper. This brand makes tons of different size pencils which is another reason why I like the company (yay for inclusion ). The color variety is good as well.

These are always my go to pencils ! Good quality!

Works well
