The read
What's actually worth knowing.
- The thicker 0.9mm lead is more durable and breaks less easily than standard mechanical pencil lead, which matters if you press hard while writing.
- You advance the lead by clicking the eraser, so the eraser gets smaller as you use the pencil and eventually runs out before the lead does.
- The No. 2 lead is compatible with standardized tests, making these practical if you need pencils for testing situations.
As of Aug 30, the BIC Xtra Strong Mechanical Pencils with Erasers is a good price at $4.47 — versus a $5.38 typical price and a $2.51 12-month low, based on Amazon's own price history.
