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

As a teacher and a parent these are the best pencils out on the market!! The lead quality is thick and does not break easily and instantly. The triangular shape of the pencils makes it great for students who need help with grasping the pencil correctly. When they are on sale you can usually get them for about $3.50/pack -excellent value for the product!! I love to write with them! They are the only pencils that I use. I buy about 10-12 packs a year if not more. I share them with my students when they need pencils.

I am an occupational therapist, and I originally ordered these for a student. They worked great, and I like them so much I ordered more for myself. My own children quickly discovered, and commandeered, them so I had to order more. They are our favorite pencils, and the only mechanical pencil for which I have actually bothered to replace the lead (super easy to do.) LOVE these!

I haven’t opened this pack that I just recently purchased because I have some already open. These are my absolute favorite pencils to use and I love how thick the led is. These write very smooth and have lasted a long time, I bought a second pack to have some at home and at work. The eraser is also better than many other mechanical pencil brands and actually works without leaving streaks behind.

I purchased these for a student with cerebral palsy that has trouble with fine motor. They’re large enough that he could get a good grip and his writing was more legible with them than a standard pencil. He loved them and sought out more lead when he ran out. That’s high praise from this kid lol!

These Paper Mate Handwriting Mechanical Pencils are chunky, colorful, and nearly unbreakable — perfect for kids learning to write or adults tired of flimsy lead. The triangular grip encourages proper hand placement, and the 1.3mm lead glides smoothly without snapping. Fun to use, easy to refill, and surprisingly satisfying to write with!

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!

Size is perfect for my little one and the shape is helping her learn how to hold a pencil without holding too tightly and hurting herself. But my favorite thing is that when you push the eraser to feed the graphite through, these feed about half as much as conventional mechanical pencils, which is great for portion control with new learners.
