pencil review

recently i went to walgreens with my mom

i found a pencil for around $3

it's this thing: www.pentel.com

First off, it's a really good pencil.

It's definitely thicker than a staples/bic lead pencil, but it does as advertised.

You can slide the eraser out to adjust it to your preferred length (speaking of which it erases really well, i can barely see it after using it). The lead barely breaks too.

If the lead is too short, you can press the button on it that releases (for lack of a better word) the lead so you can write without much interruption.

Even though it's not obvious on how to insert the lead into the pencil, I just hold the lead-releaser-button and insert the lead through the bottom of the pencil.

My package came with refills for the erasers and lead too, which is great.

The only problem that i have is that the eraser gets short really fast but that's because I'm aggressive. One problem someone might find is the eraser sliding back in while using it. To fix that, I just hold my thumb on the slider while erasing.

4.8 out of 5 stars. would buy again.
