The read
What's actually worth knowing.
- You advance the lead by clicking the eraser, so there's no separate button to fiddle with, though this means the eraser gets used up as you use the pencil.
- Each pencil comes with three pieces of lead already loaded, so they're ready to write immediately without any setup.
- The 24-count bulk pack is meant to stock you up for a while, which makes sense if you go through pencils regularly or want to have extras on hand.
As of Aug 31, the BIC Xtra-Smooth Pastel Mechanical Pencils with is a good price at $4.47 — versus a $5.88 typical price and a $4.02 12-month low, based on Amazon's own price history.
