Reliable Everyday Pencils at a Great Value
These are solid, no-nonsense pencils. They write smoothly, erase cleanly, and are perfect for school, home, or office use. The fact that they come pre-sharpened is convenient, and the price for a 30-count pack is hard to beat. Exactly what you expect from Amazon Basics.

Great Pencils at a Great Price
I love the pencils because they come sharpened so they are ready for use. They write smooth and dark- not fine lines. I prefer this functionality. The pencils are durable and the price is excellent for the quantity of pencils that you get. I will definitely purchase these again.

Great Quality Wood Pencils for School
bought these wood-based pencils for my kid, and they’ve been a big hit! The pencils feel sturdy and well-made — no easy breakage when my kid presses a little too hard. The wood has a smooth finish that makes them easy to sharpen, and the graphite glides nicely on paper for both writing and drawing. My kid uses them for homework, doodling, and school projects, and I haven’t had to constantly replace broken tips like I have with cheaper pencils. They’re comfortable to hold and just feel like good quality for the price.

Great for teachers!
I buy these every year for my Son and Daughter-in-Law! They are both middle school teachers and are always having issues with kids coming to class without pencils. ‘( The first year I gave them to her she cried. Teachers don’t make enough to afford all the supplies they need. Help a teacher today! The pencils are a perfect gift as they are already sharpened and ready to go. Large quantity and great price point! Number 2 so it’s the kind they need for test taking! Every kid needs these so if you are just getting for your house, they are perfect too! Great value!!!

Perfect for Classroom
I'm giving the Amazon Basics 150-count box of pre-sharpened #2 pencils four out of five stars. These pencils are still a solid, dependable supply of writing tools perfect for high-usage environments like classrooms or offices. The pre-sharpened feature is the biggest convenience factor. Opening the box and immediately having 150 ready-to-go pencils is fantastic, especially as a teacher. They erase cleanly, which is essential for students. My only reason for docking a star is that the affordability factor that initially made these a 5-star product is no longer present. These pencils were once an unbeatable value, but since the price has jumped significantly, they now land firmly in the "great, reliable choice" category rather than the "must-buy bargain" category. The quality itself is still solid, but the reduced value means they’re no longer the automatic recommendation they once were. Overall, these are still highly recommended, though you may want to shop around for the best current deal.

Great pencils, super great price.
I'm so happy with this purchase! The pencils are fantastic for everyday use, whether for school, the office, or just around the house. The pre-sharpened feature is a huge time-saver and they write smoothly and consistently. The eraser works well and doesn't smudge, which is a big plus. The value for the money is excellent, and it's great to have a large supply on hand. I would definitely recommend these pencils for anyone looking for a reliable and affordable option.

Over deze potloden kan ik heel kort zijn. De potloden, een doos van 30, zijn goed verpakt en kwamen onbeschadigd aan, dankzei de schuimrubber die de potloodpunten beschermde. In ieder geval beter verpakt dan menig duurdere set potloden. Of ze intern gebroken grafiet hebben weet ik natuurlijk niet. En voor personen die moeilijkheden hebben met de punt aanslijpen, wil ik het advies geven om eens een nieuwe puntenslijper te kopen. Die hoeft niet duur te zijn, als er maar een nieuw en scherp mesje in zit. Het zijn schrijfpotloden en het schrift is grijs van kleur.

As expected.

They do quite well comparing them too our Paper Mate Canadiana pencils. They even sharpen without breaking constantly. I have a Bostitch automatic pencil sharpener, and it works just fine. In my opinion, they have that 'made in China' light weight feel to them, but then you start writing and drawing and realize they are good quality.
