Dixon Pencils, No 2 Soft Tip, Yellow, Unsharpened, Pack of 144

I never write reviews, but I feel this needs attention. I am an art teacher and sharpen a lot of pencils. About 1 out of 5 Dixon brand pencils sharpen correctly. The rest sharpen just half the tip and most of the time the lead falls out. I am very disappointed because I have a tub of Dixon pencils that I cannot use.

The Dixon No. 2 HB pencil is reasonably good, however the eraser is terrible. It's hard and just makes a large blob on the paper. I am constantly making changes to orders so having a good quality eraser at the end of the pencil is a must.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] To me, these pencils are just as average as any other pencils. They are great for writing, sharpen easily, and are easy to hold. But have the same "boring" look as any other pencil out there. I would recommend them though

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Pretty good compared to other pencils I would say it is has better quality easy to sharpen doesn't break as often and the lead is very dark which is great for my fourth grader who usually doesn't push down too hard on the paper he has used so far 1 pencil last time about 2 weeks

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This pack of number two pencils are of good quality. These write really good for all writing needs.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received a pack of these pencils to try out and I have to say, they are great. They sharpen very nicely and seem to stay sharper than other pencils we have here for my kids to use. The only thing I don't care for is the eraser. It doesn't make a mess like some others but I don't feel like it erases mistakes as well as it could. But overall, very happy with these and they're better than other we have used.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are perfect for my kids. This type of pencil is still required for testing in school. These #2 pencils are sturdy and can take the battle of high school. If you are looking for a pencil that lasts, this is the one for you.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When we bought my child’s school supplies he picked out the coolest items including some pretty awesome mechanical pencils. So once I received these “regular” pencils and had him try them out, he was not thrilled, but he did use them for me. He come home praising the pencil, telling me how good it worked, that it didn’t break on him and that he only had to sharpen it once. He said it was very smooth feeling in test papers too! Thanks for a great pencil!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are our Number One choice for our homeschool. My children 7 and 10 years old both love this type of pencil over the mechanical type ones. These made by Dixion write smoothly and also sharpen easily. I’ve used some pencils in the past that may write smoothly but at the same time sharpen down to nothing because of the type of wood used with the lead. This are perfect with wood type and lead. They work well together. There is no waste as there is with other brands.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As a mother of three guys in High School, You can never had too many pencils. There is always someone needed a pencil for homework, or tests. These are mt go to pencils because the lead is approved by the state testing board, so they can use these on any of their tests. No need to buy fancy pencils for daily work and a separate pencil for testing.
