Review: Great everyday pencils and the bright colors are a bonus - These are exactly what I expect from BIC mechanical pencils: lightweight, dependable, and easy to write with. The lead advances smoothly and doesn’t seem to break constantly with normal pressure. I really like the bright colors because they’re much easier to find in a pencil bag or desk drawer than plain gray pencils. Having a large pack is also great for school or keeping extras around the house. They’re inexpensive enough that I’m not worried if one disappears, but they still write well.
Review: Amazing - If you like mechanical pencils, try these, they won't be the type to hurt your fingers when writing.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Product picture is different from description-which is it?**
A: 0.7mm lead

**Q: Can These Be Recycled?**
A: They show two more leads under the eraser that you load in from the bottom. You can buy more leads, but part of the reasoning here is they get lost stolen, given away so quickly it is good they are cheap. I used to use these for trim carpentry as I needed fine lines for accurate cuts. Lost or crushed was not that uncommon either. Different tools for different jobs.

**Q: Can the eraser be replaced? I’m having a hard time finding them.**
A: A regular cap eraser (for wooden pencils) works in a pinch.  I have done it many times.

**Q: Are replacement erasers available?**
A: Please note that not all BIC Mechanical Pencils are considered refillable.
All refillable BIC Mechanical Pencils are packaged with additional eraser/lead refills. If your pencils did not come with the additional eraser/lead refills, they are considered disposable and refills are not available.
Currently the only "refillable" BIC Mechanical Pencils are: BIC Velocity Mechanical Pencil. BIC Velocity Max Mechanical Pencil,  BIC ReAction Mechanical Pencil, BIC Atlantis Mechanical Pencil

Additional eraser refills are not sold separately at the present time.
