Product Information
Full details
The Tiger HB Pencils with Eraser Tips are an ideal choice for students, artists, and office professionals seeking a reliable, all-in-one writing tool for everyday tasks, sketching, and drafting. These pencils provide a consistent and smooth HB lead performance, though the eraser tips are primarily designed for light corrections rather than heavy-duty removal of dark graphite marks. Each pack offers six durable pencils that balance utility with a classic design to ensure you are always prepared for note-taking or creative projects.

FAQs
Are these pencils suitable for standardized tests?
Yes, the HB lead grade is the standard requirement for most standardized testing and Scantron forms.
Can I replace the eraser tip?
The eraser tips are integrated into the design. Once worn down, they are not replaceable, though the pencil will continue to function as a writing instrument.
What does HB mean?
HB stands for Hard Black, representing the middle of the graphite scale; it is neither too soft nor too hard.
Are these pencils non-toxic?
Tiger pencils are manufactured with safe materials; however, they are intended for writing and sketching and should not be ingested.
How many pencils come in a pack?
Each retail pack contains 6 Tiger HB pencils.
Can these be used for professional art shading?
While they are excellent for sketching, professional artists often prefer a wider range of pencils (like 2B, 4B, or 6B) for deep shading.
Troubleshooting
Lead breaks frequently during sharpening
Ensure your sharpener blade is not dull and avoid applying excessive pressure during the sharpening process.
Eraser leaves residue or smudges
Clean the eraser tip by rubbing it gently on a scrap piece of paper to remove built-up graphite from previous uses.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These pencils arrive ready to use, though you will need a standard pencil sharpener to maintain the tip as you work. To ensure the longest lifespan for your pencils:
- Sharpening: Use a clean, sharp blade in your sharpener to avoid wood splintering.
- Storage: Keep pencils in a cool, dry place to prevent the graphite core from becoming brittle.
- Eraser Care: Use a light touch when erasing to preserve the integrity of the paper and the eraser tip itself.
- Compatibility: These pencils work exceptionally well on standard copy paper, sketchbooks, and cardstock.
