For the normal everyday uses of a pencil, I prefer the Mitsubishi, which also takes a sharp point and does not fracture easily.

I didn't want to risk losing points that way and we aren't allowed to bring separate

The point stays sharp for a long time and writes smoothly

The pencil sharpens to a nice point that leaves smooth even marks.

These pencils are high quality and have a great price point

Holds a sharp point well, doesn't break, nice dark line.

It makes a very dark mark, yet takes a sharp point and does not fracture easily.

Very smooth writer (not as smooth as blackwing but very pleasant)- Point retention is slightly better than average.

They make nice, dark markings and the sharp points allow for precision for bubbling in the answers

They feel good in your hands and with the right sharpener, sharpen to a very nice, sharp point

Sadly, legal documents can't be signed with pencils, other wise I'd use it all the time!
