Description
This 12-pack of #2 HB wood pencils is a classroom essential for teachers, students, and artists who need reliable, easy-to-sharpen writing tools at a bargain price.
The hexagonal barrel gives you a comfortable, no-slip grip for long writing sessions, and the premium wood sharpens smoothly without splintering.
Each pencil comes with a soft, latex-free eraser that wipes away mistakes cleanly, so you can keep working without smudges or tearing your paper.
Heads up — the erasers wear down quickly with heavy use, so you might want to keep a separate eraser handy for big projects.
Buy Suggestion
[Verdict]
Skip this deal unless you need exactly 12 pencils immediately. The strongest reason is the price per pencil ($0.37) is not a standout value—comparable 12-packs often sell for $2–$3 at retail, and a 90% discount off an inflated $46.99 list price is a marketing gimmick, not a real bargain. This is suitable only for someone who needs a small backup pack and doesn’t mind a potential eraser durability issue.
[Spec analysis]
The pencils claim HB medium-soft lead for break resistance, but the product title mentions a "12 Pack" while the alias refers to a "100 Pack," creating confusion about actual quantity. The hexagonal barrel and satin-smooth finish are standard for economy pencils, offering no grip innovation beyond typical bulk-bin models. The latex-free eraser is a plus for allergy-sensitive users, but the product highlight explicitly warns that erasers "wear down quickly with heavy use," meaning this is a writing tool first, not an all-in-one correction solution. Without verified reviews, the 4.60 rating from 156 raters lacks qualitative context—likely a mix of low expectations met and inflated satisfaction from the deep discount.
[Honest drawback]
The included erasers are explicitly noted to wear down fast during heavy use, making them unreliable for extended work or big projects. This forces users to carry a separate eraser, undermining the convenience a pencil with an attached eraser should provide.
[Price take]
At $4.45 for 12 pencils, this is not a real savings—comparable 12-packs from brands like Dixon Ticonderoga cost $3–$5 at regular retail, so the 90% off $46.99 is a fake discount with no genuine value for this quantity.
