Review on Pre-Sharpened Ticonderoga #2 Pencils With Soft Lead, Yellow Barrel, Box Of 12 by Megan Lucas

I have been using these for years, they are by far my favorite pencils to use. I use a decent amount of pressure when I write, sot he #3 is by far the best option for me. It holds up to the way I write without breaking, and yet is still dark enough to read well. The harder the lead usually the lighter the writing is. The #3 pencils also are much cleaner to use, does not leave all the dust on the page when writing, drawing, etc.The other thing that I consistently see with these is that the leads are seldom broken inside the pencils, unless I buy them at Wal-Mart. Which means, perhaps they are getting the ones that fail for less money? Who knows.could also just be a coincidence.I also like that the erasers on these pencils actually work very well, which is unusual for pencils. And, since the lead is harder, these work very well on lumber for construction / carpentry projects. Leaves a nice fine line that easily erases.
