Paper Mate Mates 1.3mm Mechanical Pencils

2 of 5 stars

These pencils are great:
1) Ergo dynamically perfect for little fingers

2) Thicker lead rarely breaks

BUT there are two BIG problems with the leads:
1) The leads are only about 60% usable. Once they get down to about an inch long it won’t click down and the last inch of lead is wasted. Traditional .7 or .9 pencils only waste about 1.5cm of lead and the leads are longer. These are shorter and waste more.
