    Paper Mate Clearpoint Color Lead Mechanical Pencils, 0.7mm, Assorted Colors, 4 Count

    • Love the colored lead for my mechanical pencils!
    • But regular lead tends to smear, and when I make notes in the margins they blend in with the rest of the writing
    • However, just a bit of the lead works well for writing and small bits of coloring, though don't think I'd use these for coloring pages.
    • I also didn't expect it to erase the colored lead so well
    • These are amazing - 0.7 lead for a nice, substantial line, great colors, and erasable for those mistakes you make when your hand starts writing faster than your brain goes
    • The pencil grip is nice so your fingers don't slide on the slightly slick barrel, and a quick movement upward of your thumb allows for easy lead dispensing, but unlike some mechanical pencils it doesn't just spill out
    • These leads are smooth and erase easily.
    • It looks like there's only two leads in each pencil
    • This last year, I have gotten into mechanical pencils with fabulous silky dark leads
    • The leads break too easy, Every third word, the lead snaps off, so you waste 3/4 of the two pieces of lead you get in the pen.
    • Why does the colorful lead have to break every
    • However, the leads are soft and both break and wear down quickly, so the lead in one pencil disappears fast, which was really disappointing
    • The lead breaks CONSTANTLY.
    • I love everything about it there’s only one slight little problem unfortunately the leads can be a little soft and then the slide back into the pencil but the colors are great everything else is
    • Like wish more lead was in them.
    • Unlike the erasers on #2 pencils that only smear the led rather than erase it
    • Love the colored lead for my mechanical pencils!
    • Although the colors are nice, and you can erase the colors, the lead breaks too easily, which is very frustrating.
    • The led breaks very easily
    • If the lead was a little softer, so you could have a bold stroke with typical use, these would be great.
    • The lead is smooth when writing too
    • Love the different color lead for my notes
    • The lead is strong so it doesn't break like a regular mechanical pencil, and the color payoff is gorgeous.
    • The lead is pretty soft though but I will definitely continue to purchase
    • I was afraid that I wouldn't like them as the lead as soon as I started to use them when I was using almost no pressure.
    • The lead doesnt break easily and they are high quality in construction
    • Smooth lead
    • The lead is also very easily erased, so you won't run out of the eraser fast.
    • A harder lead breaks
    • The lead can be pretty brittle, though, so you can't have too heavy a hand.
    • You have to learn not to break the lead (which will cause you to go through lead very quickly) and change the lead when you run out.
    • lead breaks easier than i'd like, but decent color quality
    • The lead is extended by pushing a button mid-barrel - it's a bit awkward if you let that button rest against the web of your finger/thumb, but if you use it so the button points up, you can refresh the led with just a quick thumb push, and that works great
    • However, the leads are soft and both break and wear down quickly, so the lead in one pencil disappears fast, which was really disappointing
    • The leads are too fragile.
    • The lead erases cleanly
    • Why does the colorful lead have to break every
    • The lead is 0.7 so they will work in any mechanical pencil.
    • I love the colored lead and I was really hoping it would erase
    • This last year, I have gotten into mechanical pencils with fabulous silky dark leads
    • These leads are smooth and erase easily.
    • They are a harder lead than that.
    • This was over priced item with NO REFILLS and broken lead inside.
    • LARGE twist-up erasers built onto the end of each pencil.a clip to hold each pencil in your pocket, or in a pencil case.0.7mm lead thickness.6 basic colors:pinkredorangegreenbluepurplehopefully there will be refills available soon.makes writing in my day planner much more clear and easy to categorize.very pleased, and definitely recommended.
    • The lead doesn't smear, and I still get that satisfying glide across the page as I scribble
    • All other features are the same too (clip, erase, and lead advance button).The lead has a different feel while writing - it's almost like a soft lead, but doesn't break as easily.
    • The leads break very easily
    • The lead smudges a bit and leaves a mark after being
    • I do feel like the lead is not as soft, and so takes a little more pressure to get a darker shade (and as such breaks more frequently) but only slightly
    • The negatives seem to be that the lead goes rather quickly and that they don't erase easily or completely from all types of paper.
    • The leads seem reasonably tough against breakage, and do not wear down as fast as I feared they might
    • my 4-pack, and the lead runs down quickly, when it doesn't just break or crumble
    • Love the colored lead and how smoothly it writes
    • I really like the side button lead advance
    • The lead is silky smooth, which I didn't expect
    • However, there is only ONE spare lead in each barrel and not much luck finding spares in favorite colors
    • It really is quite smooth but doesn't appear to smear as much as my regular leads
    • I like not having to sharpen a pencil and having a thin lead--easy to get a point
    • The leads are strong, and there are two of each color.
    • The dark-colored leads don't fade as you use them like some do nor do they get waxy-looking.
    • Love the colored lead for my mechanical pencils!

    • Nearly as strong as standard lead, with great color.
