The read
What's actually worth knowing.
- You get 150 pencils in one box, which is useful if you need to stock up for a classroom, office, or just want to avoid running out for a while.
- The #2 HB lead is a middle-ground hardness that balances durability with smooth writing, so it won't break as easily as softer leads but still writes clearly.
- The erasers are latex-free, which matters if you or anyone using these has a latex sensitivity.
As of Aug 31, the Amazon Basics Wood-Cased #2 Pencils for Writing is a good price at $11.14 — versus a $15.57 typical price and a $5.70 12-month low, based on Amazon's own price history.
