Overview

A shock-absorbing tip on each Paper Mate SharpWriter pencil cushions the lead against pressure, while a twist advances it. The set suits classroom stock and office supply cabinets.

A cushioned tip and twist action reduce broken leads, and the large count covers a class or an office. The listing gives no warranty, and the lead is standard HB graphite.

Who it's for

A classroom, homeschool or office supply closet will use the large count and the break-resistant tip. Writers wanting a weighted metal pencil should look elsewhere.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Large pack for classrooms
Cons
  • HB lead only

Performance notes

The cushioning in the tip absorbs pressure that would snap the lead, and twisting the barrel advances a measured amount of graphite. The lead diameter sets the line width for writing and drawing.
