GOOD PRICE.
This is a 40-pack of BIC mechanical pencils with 0.7 mm medium-point lead, designed for everyday school use from elementary through college. They're refillable and retractable, so you replace the lead and eraser instead of throwing out the whole pencil, and they come with a built-in eraser that won't leave smudges.

The read
What's actually worth knowing.
- The 0.7 mm point is standard for most schoolwork and standardized tests, so you won't need to hunt for a different size.
- One pencil holds as much lead as about 2.5 wooden pencils, which means the pack stretches further than it might seem.
- The graphite is smudge-resistant and erases cleanly, which matters if you're left-handed or if your work gets handled a lot.
As of Aug 31, the BIC Xtra Smooth Mechanical Pencil with 0.7 mm is a good price at $11.99 — versus a $9.86 typical price and a $3.49 12-month low, based on Amazon's own price history.
