Paper Mate Handwriting Triangular Mechanical Pencils with Lead & Eraser Refills, 1.3mm, Fun Barrel Colors, 5 Count - School Supplies, Kids Writing

These are hands-down the best mechanical pencils I’ve ever used. The triangular grip is a total game changer — super comfortable, easy to hold, and perfect for longer writing sessions without hand fatigue. The thicker 1.3mm lead writes smoothly, doesn’t snap constantly, and is ideal for both kids and adults. I especially love how forgiving they are for handwriting. They’re great for anyone who struggles with fine motor control, grip strength, or just prefers a sturdier pencil (hello dyslexia/ADHD-friendly design 🙌). The erasers actually work well, and the refills are a nice bonus. Durable, comfortable, smooth-writing, and affordable — there’s a reason I’ve purchased these multiple times. If you’re on the fence, just get them. You won’t go back to regular mechanical pencils after this.

These are excellent refillable pencils. I needed these as I picked up some crossword and fill-in puzzle books for summer, and the paper in them is like newsprint thin, so not great with ink. These are the perfect solution and never require me to go hunting for my pencil sharpener. The eraser end is removable to load in the pencil lead, so refilling is simple. The pencils write very smoothly, and I haven't broken a lead yet. The triangular shape is comfortable in my hand and against my fingers (very welcome for me as I have rheumatoid arthritis & really value a smooth handwriting experience). The pencils write clearly with a dark definition and without smudging. The nice, bright colours are pleasant, and I'm glad I purchased these. Recommended.

I was so excited to find these. My daughter loves them and we couldn't find them anywhere except one other online source and they were over twice the price. She just likes them because they are comfortable in her hand and the lead doesn't break easily. I would buy them again and do recommend them.

I love these pencils they are great for school ( AKA prison camp) they are great for hand writing improvement i will def inetly be buying more

We use these pencils in our homeschool and my children love writing with them. They have a thicker lead and don’t break easily. The pencil itself is shaped nicely for learning how to hold a pencil. Fun colors for everyone and a great value. Haven’t had to refill yet, since the lead lasts so long, but it’s easy to do so and comes with extra lead. Suitable for my children aged 2-12.

I like the larger size. Easy grip for anyone. Extra lead. The eraser doesn’t erase well at first, but after you break them in and get the outer layer off, they erase good. Good for kids who have trouble gripping the thinner #2 pencils. The lead is thick and does not break easily! Good buy.

I love the smoothness of the material the pencil set is made with. The ink duration last a long time. This is the first mechanical pencil that I've had that last so long. The bright colors make them easy to find and I love the value for the money.

Love the pencil density. Lead wires darker and it's much easier to see. Comfortable grip. Easier to hold. Will be buying again.

These pencils are good for all ages. I like the thickness of the lead and that they are not easy to break. The colours are fantastic and the erasers work well. Comes with additional leads also.

La mejor opción para los niños, siempre un lápiz con punta, el carbón del lápiz suave. ¡Olvídate de los lápices de madera y de la rotura del sacapuntas que no sirve!

These are the best pencils for students. Lead is super hard to break, they promote proper grip, and they come with eraser replacements. I LOVE THEM.

Writes smoothly, erases easily, comfortable to hold and write. Love the colors of the pen casings. Also comes with refill leads and erasers. I got it for a fabulous price and totally happy with my purchase!!

These pencils are great for carpenters
