About Faber-Castell Grip Graphite EcoPencils with Eraser
Overall Feedback:
72% positive
74% found the sharpening process easy
The pencil lasts longer as it doesn't fall or break easily when sharpened.
I prefer to use a battery-operated sharpener with these pencils.
70% liked the rich darkness of the lead
The lead darkness is just right, not too light nor dark.
83% praised the comfortable grip, although 17% found it slippery
I love the triangular design, the little soothing bumpy grips and the color of the pencils.
The grip of the pencil makes it comfortable to write for longer periods without hand fatigue.
While holding the pencil, the grip dots are uncomfortable for me as they are hard and poky.
71% praised the attractive design
The triangular shape of the pencil provides an intuitive, natural grip and the grip texture gives tactile feedback to the amount of pressure.
These have a beautiful triangular cross-section shape, silver in color, arrayed with a myriad of tiny black grip dots.
70% liked the breakage resistance, though 30% found it lacking
My son struggles with homework and often tries to break his pencils, but these pencils are tough enough to withstand his attempts.
The pencil has good grip dots and the wood resists getting chewed up by metal blades in a sharpener. It also does not break leads overly quickly. However, the main issue is that the writing is too faint and wispy to be seen.
The leads are break-resistant but very hard, which requires pushing hard to get a dark line, creating bad writing habits.
