Paper Mate Clearpoint Color Lead

I recently picked up the colored version of Paper Mate Clearpoint mechanical pencils, and overall they’re quite enjoyable—especially for casual use.The pencils come in fun shades (pink, blue, purple, etc.) that write true to their barrel colors. They’re great for note-taking, doodling, or organizing thoughts by color without losing the ability to erase.Lead is fragile, lots of breakage especially near the end.Cost is comparable for the value.If you’re after a playful, colorful writing tool that’s easy to erase and comfortable to use for light tasks—these are a solid pick. They’re especially perfect for students, professionals or creative note-taking. However, if you’re looking for heavy-duty performance, frequent refilling, or top-tier durability, you might want to upgrade to a more premium pencil.

I am a paper calendar girl. Each family member has their own color so I can stay organized with all of our activities. These are PERFECT, especially since we tend to have schedule changes often. The pencils erase so easily.

Thrilled! I was looking for a way to color code my planner. The colors are distinct. The writing feel is very smooth. The erasers work well. Will absolutely buy again as they run out

really nice and easy to use and nice size but the colored lead the material makes it kind of hard to color with other wise its berry nice but not the best and its kind of hard to find refills.:>

I picked these up because I was tired of carrying a separate sharpener for colored pencils while traveling. I live in Florida and spend a lot of time on the road, so I needed something compact for my planner and for marking up research papers without the wood shavings and the constant risk of a lead snapping in my bag. I was looking for the convenience of a mechanical pencil with the utility of color-coding.To be honest, my expectations were a bit mixed. I’ve tried "erasable" colored pencils before, and usually, they either don't erase well or the pigment is so faint you can barely see it. I wanted these to be dark enough to read easily but clean enough to actually disappear when I messed up.What Works (The Pros)The Erasability: This is the standout feature. Unlike standard colored pencils that just smudge, these actually erase almost completely. It’s perfect for someone like me who needs to adjust schedules or edit notes frequently.Comfortable Design: If you’ve used the standard Clearpoint pencils, you know the grip. It’s a slightly chunky, textured barrel that feels solid in the hand. I can use these for a long session without my hand cramping up.Side-Click Advance: Having the lead advance button on the side is just more natural. You don't have to stop and adjust your grip to keep writing.Jumbo Eraser: It’s a twist-up style, which means you actually get a decent amount of eraser material.The Downside (The Cons)Lead Capacity: Each pencil only comes with a couple of leads. If you’re a heavy user, you’ll burn through them faster than you’d expect.Lead Fragility: Since it’s 0.7mm colored lead, it’s a bit softer than standard graphite. If you have a heavy hand, you’re going to snap the tips fairly often. You have to learn to use a lighter touch.Refill Availability: Finding the specific colored lead refills in a local shop can be a headache; you usually have to order them online.Practical Uses and ValueIn the real world, these are great for color-coding a calendar or highlighting specific sections in a textbook. I’ve also found them surprisingly useful for quick sketches when I’m stuck in an airport. Because they don’t bleed, they are much better for thin planner pages than felt-tip markers.As far as value for money goes, they aren't the cheapest option on the shelf. You’re definitely paying a premium for the mechanical mechanism and the erasable tech. If you just need to scribble, go for the cheap wood ones. But if you value your space and hate sharpeners, the convenience makes the price tag justifiable.Final VerdictDid they meet my expectations? Mostly, yes. The colors are vibrant—especially the purple and blue—and the "no-sharpen" life is exactly what I wanted for my travels. I just wish they packed a few more leads in the initial box.

If you love to journal or doodle or have breath in your lungs you're going to LOVE this mechanical, fine point color pencil. This color pencil is the pinnacle pencil of creation. Your arduous search to complete yourself is over - this mechanical color pencil will satisfy all your desires. It's fine point, it's smooth, the colors are color pencilly perfect, it erases (and get this magic, each pencil only erases it's own color, what? It blows my mind), and it fits perfectly in your pencil grip with gentle padding and rubber in just the right places. The only thing that has me worried is that there might not be enough lead.

My niece uses these when taking notes in math class. They are great for graphing and adding to guided notes in class.

I love these pencils. Once the leads are used up, I'm still going to have them for sketching. Lead wise, the blue & purple have the best color pay load. Next, the red is okay. The green is meh, & the orange and pink are too light and the lead feels stiff. For line drawings, I'd use the blue & purple, no problem. For coloring in things, they're all okay, but the blue and purple are still the best ones. They erase well, and don't feel fragile. I prefer other colored leads like Uni "NanoDia" (0.5 & 0.7), or Pilot "Eno" (0.7). And,

Delivery happened as per schedule

Muy lindos, a mi me encantan los portaminas para hacer mis apuntes, y estos son el complemento perfecto, pero son caros, al igual que los repuestos. El portaminas trae dos minas, y al principio me costó escribir con ellos porque se rompan las puntas, después ví que no había que sacar tanta mina, que apenas se vea la punta y así funcionan muy bien. Los colores son intensos, excepto el rosa, pinta muy clarito y apenas se ve. No sé despintan tan fácil al pasarle el dedo como otros grafitos. El portaminas es de la misma calidad de cualquier portaminas de 40 pesos, pero pues cumple la función de ser bonito y que corresponde el color a la mina. Realmente puedes comprar los repuestos y ponerlo en cualquier portaminas de 0.7 mm y hasta lo mismo, pero si te gusta ser la chica de los plumones estos son el complemento perfecto...

I mark up many drawings and they become "As Built" drawings. I use a few colours to achieve the results I need. The leads seem to be able to withstand the pressure I apply. The colours are bright and six choices make them quite useful. I tried ordering these about 9 10 months and I was denied. Glad to finally to be able to purchase them.

good colours and coverage

Excelente producto para realizar apuntes o bocetos, el único problema es al utilizar la goma pues esa se retracta muy fácil, pero con ayuda de los dedos la puedes retener.
