    • The wider,rounded, triangular shape of the pencil makes it comfortable the my students to hold also
    • Love this set because it has the extra erasers (oddly shaped and hard to replace any other way) as well as extra lead.
    • The shape and thickness worked out perfect
    • I also love the shape because I am no longer picking up pencils off the ground all day and don't need to pencil grips added to make them comfortable.
    • The shape is very comfortable to grip - great ergonomics!
    • 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.
