    AmazonBasics Wood-cased #2 HB Pencils

    Reminiscent of grade-school days yet tried and true when it comes to keeping up with adult-world demands, AmazonBasics wood-cased #2 HB pencils combine traditional style with ultimate convenience. Use the pencils for anything from making notes, keeping lists, or sketching first drafts to brainstorming campaign ideas, filling in answers on an exam, or solving Sudoku or crossword puzzles.

    The pencils are made from high-quality wood for clean, easy sharpening, and they feature a rounded hexagonal shape with a satin-smooth finish for a secure grip and enhanced writing comfort. Each pencil comes with a soft, smudge-free, latex-free, rubber eraser secured to the end by a standard metal band, making it easy to quickly and cleanly wipe away mistakes or unwanted marks. The box includes 24 unsharpened pencils perfect for classroom, work, or home.

    • #2 HB pencils create smooth, clear lines
    • Made of high-quality wood for easy sharpening
    • Break-resistant medium-soft lead
    • PMA certified non-toxic, safe for classroom use

    #2 HB Lead & PMA Certified Non-Toxic

    Classified as #2 or HB, the woodcase pencils feature break-resistant, medium-soft lead that creates long-lasting, smooth, readable marks and lines. The pencils are PMA certified non-toxic, which makes them safe for use in any classroom setting.

    HB refers to the hardness and blackness of lead. HB is considered the standard for lead and is equivalent to a #2 pencil.

    1.0 out of 5 stars "Pencil" without lead
    Reviewed in India on 22 May 2021
    The primary function is not executed. There is very little lead inside and that too is in multiple pieces. Unfortunately, I am unable to rate it below 1.
    Advice to those about to buy - DON'T.
    Maybe it can serve some function like ear cleaning, drumming etc. Pl try it. Don't blame me pl if it fails in that too.
