- Wood-Cased #2 HB Pencils Bulk, 1000 Count, Pre-sharpened

I like these and I am kind of a pencil snob. I actually like them better than the tigonderoga ones that I also got at the beginning of the school year. The wood is nice, the lead is dark and smooth, and they sharpen well. They are good quality and a good price.

We pack shoeboxes for Operation Christmas Child and use these pencils in our Pencil Packs. They are great! Pre-Sharpened, too!

Good quality at a great price. Product arrived on time and undamaged.

We have used these pencils several years now for Operation Christmas Child Shoeboxes. We appreciate that they are already sharpened! Saves us a lot of time and energy. Good price for a good quantity.

Nice pencils. Sharpened well.

I was originally skeptical of a brand that I had never heard of before, but the price was great and I pack over 100 Operation Christmas Child shoeboxes, so I thought I would give them a try. I sharpened up a half dozen of them, with a small handheld pencil sharpener. They were easy to sharpen, didn't break while sharpening and wrote well. When packing for shoeboxes, I like to be sure that the item is of good quality, so I used several of these for over a month and was very pleased with their performance!

I'm a middle school English teacher. Pictures of the other product reviewers have shown pictures of the product in various states of packaging that was questionable. All of mine delivered nicely and neatly stacked, even though I accidentally stabbed myself with one of the tips when I opened the box. The tips are very fine. They will need to be sharpened in no time for the end user, who will no doubt use them to press the paper with the force of a gorilla, and you'll wonder why you hear the pencil sharpener buzz every 20 seconds that you are trying to deliver instruction, despite the fact you can tell them until the end of time they're not supposed to do that. Bar none, these pencils come at a great price and will still reduce the prep time that you are spending sharpening pencils yourself, for individuals that break them, leave them on the floor, throw them away, or otherwise refuse to put them back in the class pencil box. In other words, the quality and price are entirely acceptable for a generation who appreciates and understands the value of nothing at all.

We buy this item about twice a year to help the teachers at our daughter's school. Kids fly through pencils and many times teachers are filling in the gaps of the need. We love showing up with this box and seeing a teacher face light up.
