    Paper Mate 1862166 Mates Mechanical Pencils, 1.3mm HB #2 Lead, 10 Count

    • Don't "clean" the paper well, but I'm finding most erasers don't these days.

    • Nice, thick leads with a dark stroke, even on smooth paper
    • The only thing not to love is the eraser: it fits loosely so it sometimes works its way out when erasing, and it's the cheap pink natural rubber kind which scuffs and smudges the paper rather than erasing cleanly.

    • The points are not as sharp as you get with sharpened wooden pencils and the triangular shape is much easier to grasp and hold in proper writing and drawing position that the average wooden pencil.
    • It took me awhile to realize it was her favorite because the lead didn’t break nearly as much as with other mechanical pencils
    • Only mechanical pencil I will use because it doesn't break off as you write.
    • Wonderful as always!!
