Norica #2 HB Pencils Class Pack: 144 Pre-Sharpened Pencils + 12 Erasers, Bulk School Supplies Set, Break-Resistant Lead, Latex- & PVC-Free, For Writing, Testing, Drawing & Sketching

Every school year we get those incredibly long supply lists. I think my 6 grader needed 6 dozen pencils or something. When I saw this I knew that I had better jump on the bargain. I sharpened 3 with a hand sharpener and 3 with the electronic sharpener. Both sharpeners produced perfect tips and no broken or uneven sharpened pencils. I like have the STAEDTLER blue pencils so my kids pencils won't get mixed up with their other classmates. The set includes the white eraser which are the standard now for classrooms. All the pencils functioned well and maintained sharpness for about a page of writing. Good deal definitely buy again at this price point.

As a teacher, these are my go to pencil and best for sharpening and eraser life. The other go to brand is not up to the quality control standards any more. I also like that I can easily identify "my" pencils when kids borrow them and need to return them.

I purchased these for my classroom because our school color is blue. The erasers are out the high-quality. The pencils are very sturdy and the color is exactly as advertised. They write smooth and are a high-quality pencil for the money.

Long lasting pencils! Better than the “T” brand!

I’m amazed at the other reviews! I was so excited to find these at such a great price this year, but then realized it must have been because they were defective. The graphite just. Kept. Breaking. Kids would sharpen them and be seconds into using them before going back to sharpen again. First I assumed they were just looking for excuses to gather at the sharpener, then maybe the issue was tapping the pencil enough that it broke inside? Nope. I got out several from the box and tried them myself and ran into the same issue. After weeks of frustration I put them in the back of my cupboard and used the free ones someone got me at the free teacher store. Even the cheap pencils performed better. I was so surprised - I’ve loved this brand before. When I ran out of free pencils I got the Stadtler box back out and ran into the same constant breakage - like sharpen, touch the tip and it falls out, sharpen another inch, same. Odd. Glad others are having better luck!

Lice that it has 12 love erasers to go along with the package.

These pencils are working great for my classroom. I’m pretty picky about pencils, but when you have to buy so many a year you look for a great value. The use of them has been great and they are the same size as others. They are comfortable to hold and they do not break easily. I’ll continue to buy them for my classroom.

Staedtler make great products and this is no exception. Pencils are high quality and the erasers work well. I love that they come sharpened.

Great quality and well packaged.

Pencils are hard to sharpen and break easily.

My teen kept telling me he had no pencils, or he kept loosing them. So this was my solution. A giant box of pencils, I didn’t know it came with erasers too! Even better

Exactly as expected.

A lot of these are not as good quality as expected. Some sharpen unevenly. Leads are broken within pencil. In a classroom setting this creates disruption and a loss of time.
