About Dixon Ticonderoga Wood-Cased #2 Pencils
Overall Feedback:
77% positive
72% appreciated the lead quality, but 28% found it not ideal
The electric pencil sharpener sharpened the pencil without breaking it and the lead writes well and seems stronger than others.
When I attempt to sharpen them, the lead breaks and falls out of most of them.
After sharpening, the lead breaks almost immediately.
69% found the sharpening process easy
the pencil takes on a good point and writes well until the next sharpening, even with a very cheap sharpener.
The pencils are easy to sharpen and don't break off multiple times before use.
67% liked the rich darkness, yet 33% felt it was dark
I thought I was getting a darker shade pencil, but it turned out to be similar to my other #2 lead pencils after sharpening. I need a pencil with a darker shade for better visibility.
80% praised the comfortable grip, although 20% found it slippery
When I hold the pencil in my hand, it gives me a sense of comfort.
I can hold the pencil tight without feeling any stiffness as it is comfortable to grip.
The pencil has a black coating that makes it comfortable to hold and provides grip, so it doesn't roll or slip while writing.
The pencils are thinner than regular ones and it's hard for me to grip them.
70% appreciated the clean erasability, but 30% noticed smudging
The erasers are durable and can erase a drawing even when the kneaded eraser is forgotten.
The eraser wears down quickly, especially if a child erases frequently. Sometimes it even breaks off due to the force of erasing.
69% liked the breakage resistance, though 31% found it lacking
The lead of the pencil breaks within 5 minutes of usage, and both I and my 7-year-old have faced this problem personally.
I am dissatisfied with the pencils as they are made of strange MDF-like material that feels like rubber and breaks easily when sharpened.
Almost every pencil lead breaks when sharpening and falls out, which is really disappointing.
Every time I sharpen the pencils, the lead breaks.
