Review on Lot of 1x20 Apsara Extra Dark HB Black School Wooden Pencils + 2 Sharpeners + 2 Erasers by Wendy Rodriguez

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Inconsistent quality

These pens look sharp and I appreciate having an eraser and sharpener in each box of 10 (for those thinking about ordering, the 20 pens come in two separate Supplied in boxes of 10, each with eraser and sharpener). The writing color is darker than #2 and I like the feel of the lead on the paper. It doesn't slide like a gel pen or felt-tip pen, but bites like a pencil, and the tactile feedback is good. The case differs almost 1 mm from a pencil with a diameter of only 7 mm. When these off-center pencils are sharpened, the point is short on one side and long on the other, and therefore needs to be sharpened more frequently. The other half of the lot usually has centered leads. The fact that half the pencils are so poorly made makes it hard to see that they cost more than $0.40 each, even with a piece of plastic eraser and a small sharpener. Not recommended.

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • thin
