FAQs

Are these pencils refillable?

What is the hardness of the lead?

The lead has an HB hardness, which is a standard for writing and drawing, offering a good balance between darkness and erasability.

Can I use these pencils for standardized tests?

While the HB lead is generally accepted for most standardized tests, the assorted colors might not be ideal. It is best to confirm the specific requirements of the test provider.

Each pack contains 12 pencils.

What are the colors of the pencils?

The pencils come in assorted, colorful striped designs.

Is the lead suitable for drawing?

Troubleshooting

Pencil lead breaks frequently

Ensure you are using a quality sharpener and not applying excessive pressure while writing or drawing. Check if the pencil sharpener needs to be replaced.

Eraser is not effective

The integrated eraser is designed for light corrections. For larger or more stubborn marks, consider using a separate, high-quality eraser. Keep the eraser clean by gently wiping it with a soft cloth.

Pencil does not sharpen to a fine point

This can happen with worn-out sharpeners. Try a different, high-quality pencil sharpener, preferably one designed for synthetic pencils.
