Paper Mate Handwriting Triangular Mechanical Pencil Set with Lead & Eraser Refills, 1.3mm, 8 Count - Back to School, Teacher Supplies, Home, Kids Writing, Fun Barrel Colors

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 the best pencils! They are easy to use - writing and erasing is smooth and effortless. They are durable and hold up well.

My favorite pencil. Quality, design and grin of the pencil makes it great for children and adults to write with, and great value for the money.

I didn’t expect to fall in love with a mechanical pencil, but here we are! The Paper Mate Handwriting Triangular Mechanical Pencil Set has become my go-to for everything from note-taking to sketching. The 1.3mm lead is thicker than standard, which means it rarely breaks—perfect for fast writers like me. The triangular grip is super comfortable and ideal for both kids learning to write and adults who write all day. I love the fun barrel colors, and the included lead and eraser refills are a great bonus. A must-have for back to school, teacher supplies, or just keeping your home office stocked!

I am 67 years old and buy these for myself. The lead is thick so it doesn't break easily and is nice and dark. The pencil diameter is easy to hold. The eraser works well. These pencils are perfect for puzzle books, grocery lists, or anytime you want dark, legible writing.

They’re very light weight which makes it easy to use for gripping and writing clearly. My 3 year old is learning to write and they are easy for him to grip which is a plus. Definitely worth it for what you pay. They come with a good amount of replacement led. The only downside I’ve noticed is the erasers do not erase 100% (see photo)The quality is great other than that. They serve their purpose and work well for what I need.

These are by far my favorite pencils! They write so smooth and the lead does not break easily like other mechanical pencils. The shape of the pencil itself is comfortable especially when taking notes or writing for a long time!

I buy these for my younger students. The lead is nice and thick and doesn’t break. They are also ergonomic for little hands. They feel like big kids using a mechanical pencil. I’ve also used them for state testing as they are #2.

Son maravillosos, excelentes desde primaria porque la punta es gruesa: 1.3mm, esto lo hace super práctico, no se rompe la pinta con la presión que le ponen los niños, los compré y además en otra página compré un blister de 30 cajitas de puntillas y le duraron desde 3er grado hasta la secundaria a mi hijo

Love them! They are fat.

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
