GOOD PRICE.
This is a bulk pack of 40 mechanical pencils with 0.7 mm medium point lead, designed for students and teachers who need reliable pencils for schoolwork, note-taking, and tests. You advance the lead by clicking the built-in eraser, so there's no sharpening required, and the No. 2 lead writes dark and erases cleanly without smudging.

The read
What's actually worth knowing.
- The 40-count pack is meant to last through a full school year for one student or stock a classroom supply drawer, making it practical for bulk needs.
- Since you advance lead by clicking the eraser instead of sharpening, students stay seated and focused during class rather than hunting for a sharpener.
- The pastel-colored barrels have clips to attach to notebooks and folders, which helps prevent pencils from getting lost in a backpack.
As of Aug 31, the BIC Xtra-Smooth Pastel Mechanical Pencils with is a good price at $7.44 — versus a $9.13 typical price and a $4.45 12-month low, based on Amazon's own price history.
