Customer Reviews

When using a mechanical pencil, you should have a good eraser that is convenient to use. This means you should not grease it up by putting your thumb on it every time you need more lead. Also, when the eraser wears down you do not want to scratch your paper when you go to erase something.
This pencil has a nice, replacable white-eraser that completely erases and can be easily extended or retracted (and is quite long).
The side-clicker is located so it does not interfere with writing, but can easily be reached when more lead is needed.
Overall this is the best pencil out there that I have seen in these regards.
The drawback: the entire pencil is made of plastic so it is not very durable in your pocket. Particularly the back end of the pencil may crack.

Look at what "Shoplet" is offering!
Paper Mate ClearPoint 0.7mm Mechanical Pencil, Blue Barrel, Box of 12
You get a box of 12 pencils, marked down from $39.48 to $3.13. Right? Fantastic! Like it says, You Save: $36.35 (92%) What a deal! I use these pencils and my students always ask to borrow them -- they've never seen a cooler pencil!
So for a little over $10, Shoplet is selling a box of 12? The kids will be thrilled! I ordered.
Shoplets sent me one. Not one box of twelve pencils. No. One pencil. ONE PENCIL. For $3.13 PLUS seven bucks shipping. One pencil, loose, in a big blue plastic bag with a knot tied in it.
I am a teacher looking for bargains because I teach at-risk kids who can't afford to buy pencils and the school can't afford it, either. So I'm spending my own money for kids that don't have a damn pencil, and they sold me one pencil for $10. I could have picked it up at the drug store for $3.
Merry Christmas, kids! Here's the pencil I bought for the twelve of you. If you want to see the Grinch live and in person, he's down at Shoplets.
