About BIC Xtra-Sparkle Mechanical Pencil, Medium Point (0.7 mm), 24-Count
Overall Feedback:
74% positive
79% found the pencil weight balanced
Mechanical pencils are very lightweight and can suffer little damage even if dropped from a great height.
77% appreciated the refill mechanism, while 23% found it cumbersome
I have found that these mechanical pencils are refillable and come with 24 leads, which will last for a while.
The pencils are inexpensive and I know I will always find refills for them.
The pencils are disposable when the lead runs out and cannot be refilled.
I feel bad about throwing the plastic part away because it is not refillable.
77% liked the precision for fine writing
I can easily control the thickness/darkness of writing by applying pressure with this mechanical pencil, unlike other pencils that are always light or dark, showcasing its precision.
79% found the lead smooth, but 21% encountered issues
If I put any pressure on it, the lead goes back up forcing me to click constantly.
I find it extremely annoying that the lead always pushes in when writing, requiring constant pushing out.
77% praised the lead durability, yet 23% found it broke easily
The lead lasts for a long time and has good durability.
The pencil has fairly high-quality lead, erasers work well, and it lasts a long time.
I do not recommend using this pen during an exam as the tip breaks easily even with minimum pressure. I have been using at least three per week.
77% liked the grip comfort
The grip of the pencil is a bit hard, but I suggest buying some pencil grips. Overall, I found the product to be great.
I was surprised by how natural the grip felt, despite initially not thinking I would like it.
I have an easy grip and hold.
The kids loved the mechanical pencils, but I think a pencil grip would make them more comfortable for extended use.
77% appreciated the eraser quality, however 23% didn't
The eraser is fantastic and especially useful for writers and artists as it does not leave any black stains.
My erasers do not last long, but their erasing quality is fairly good.
I have been frustrated with the erasing quality of mechanical pencils as they make a dark smear instead of erasing properly.
86% liked the barrel design, but 14% found it unattractive
The pencils have glittery barrels.
I was expecting designs on the barrels of the mechanical pencils to make them more appealing to kids, but I did not receive what I was expecting.
I expected kid-friendly designs on the mechanical pencil barrels, but was disappointed with what I received.
