Good quality, have held up well. Review: Mechanical pencils - what do you want? - These smooth writing, comfortable, mechanical pencils are great. They last for a long time. My son gradually loses them, but he goes through them slowly because he loves them. We keep erasers and lead on hand. They erase well and the grip is soft. I prefer a .5, but a .7 isn’t too thick and doesn’t break as often. It has 5 stars for the price and durability. I have some drafting mechanical pencils that are almost 30 years old, those are truly 5 Star worthy. Those Kura Togas are worth a look, but if you need volume and price that isn’t fully disposable, this is it. ## Features - Mechanical pencils with the look and feel of professional Paper Mate Profile pens - Comfort grip for comfortable writing during any task - 0.7mm HB #2 pencil leads perfect for standardized tests - Eligible for Box Tops for Education - Includes 8 mechanical pencils in assorted barrel colors ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B08DLBNDH8 | | Additional Features | Dust Free | | Age Range (Description) | Adult | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Best Sellers Rank | #8,487 in Office Products ( See Top 100 in Office Products ) #70 in Mechanical Pencils | | Body Shape | Round | | Brand | Paper Mate | | Brand Name | Paper Mate | | Closure Type | Retractable | | Color | Assorted | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 3,074 Reviews | | Drill Point | Medium | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00071641179226 | | Grip Type | comfort grip | | Hand Orientation | Ambidextrous | | Hardness | HB | | Included Components | Eraser, Lead | | Ink Base | Hybrid | | Ink Color | Gray | | Item Diameter | 0.7 Millimeters | | Item Dimensions | 7.6 x 5.8 x 0.5 inches | | Item Type Name | mechanical pencil | | Item Weight | 0.2 Pounds | | Line Size | 0_7 millimeters | | Manufacturer | Paper Mate | | Material | paper | | Material Type | paper | | Model Name | Paper Mate Profile Mech Mechanical Pencil Sets | | Model Number | 2105705 | | Recommended Uses For Product | Office, School, Drawing | | Style | 8 Count | | UPC | 071641179226 | | Unit Count | 8.0 Count | | Warranty Description | 1-Year Limited | | Writing Instrument Form | Mechanical Graphite Pencil | ## Product Details - **Age Range (Description):** Adult - **Brand:** Paper Mate - **Color:** Assorted - **Ink Color:** Gray - **Writing Instrument Form:** Mechanical Graphite Pencil ## Images ![Profile Mech Mechanical Pencils, 0.7mm #2 Pencil Lead, Comfort Grip, Assorted Barrel Colors, 8 Count - Office Supplies - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71yY-+VaL5L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: what size are the erasers?
