Paper Mate Clearpoint Elite 0.7mm Mechanical Pencil Starter Set, 2 Mechanical Pencils

I write with my left hand and like larger sized pencils. The pack I received contained both a red and a gray colored Paper Mate Clear Point Elite mechanical pencil, along with two spare eraser refills and a case of 0.7mm lead. The rubber texture feels much better and is more durable as compared to its non-Elite cousins. Other areas where the Elite version has improved are the twisting of the eraser and the removal of the eraser cap. The eraser stays in place much better and will not twist back into the eraser cap as easily. The eraser cap also stays put much better and will not fly off when flipping the pencil over to use the eraser.It is possible to clean the mechanical pencil by using a wet wipe to remove the graphite stains that accumulate on the rubber over time. Please note not to attempt to remove the button that advances the lead; otherwise, this may damage the part and render the mechanical pencil useless.I find that this mechanical pencil also uses lead down to a smaller bit compared to some of the other standard mechanical pencils that I have used.Reasons you may want to use this mechanical pencil are:Comfort + Long lasting large eraser + Larger lead reservoir + and reduced lead breakage + efficient lead usage.

My first pencil lasted 5 years before the rubber at the bottom split. It's really comfortable to write with and I enjoy the jumbo eraser at the end.

DE UN BUEN GROSOR Y DE TAMAÑO ADECUADO, PARA LA ESCRITURA MUY COMODA, SIN DUDA ES UN ELEMENTO MUY AGRADABLE SI UTILIZAS LAPICES.

This elite version is much better than the clearpoint version. It is sturdier and more comfortable to use. Worth the price!

I have ordered about 10 different types of mechanical pencils including ones costing upwards of $20 each (the fancier ones all have tiny erasers encased in a metal sheath - which I find silly and intolerable). This one is everything I wanted and ironically the very last one I ordered (pictures don't do it justice else I may have just bought this one only).What I wanted that this pencil does provide w/o any deficit:- comfortable grip (shaped to fit hand for long use, I'm sure)- retractable point so won't puncture my pocket- easy lead advance (clicker)- LONG eraser - which is the main thing- secure eraser advanceThe last item is a bit odd and the pencil provides an unexpectedly perfect solution. I get a very long eraser that advances with a twist of the top of the pencil BUT does not accidentally advance, as is the case with my second place favorite.The eraser needs to be long (3X as long as most erasers). I use the pencil mostly for Sudoku and that entails a LOT of erasing. I really was looking for a long eraser so I didn't have to waste a lot of eraser (short erasers are only about 1/2 usable before they fall out of the pencil).This pencil is perfect, given my needs. I cannot believe I actually found something w/o compromises. I don't mind at all paying extra for it. It IS a costly pencil, considering that it is not geared towards the elite user (drafting professionals, I guess). But it is perfect. What more can I say?
