As a carpenter one of my pet hates is poor quality pencils. There is nothing worse than sharpening a pencil only for the lead to pop out just as you get a good point (particularity if this is the 3rd or 4th attempt). This happens a lot with cheap run of the mill pencils as they tend to get dropped a lot on site and the lead cracks/breaks inside on impact with the floor so when you come to sharpen them it can be a really frustrating experience.Thankfully I don't suffer this problem any more using these Faber ones everyday for second fix/finish carpentry. I love the shape and quality and the grip really does work. They are often dropped and sometimes from a good height but I have yet to suffer the dreaded cracked lead syndrome.

I bought a pack of these for my 5-year old, who has difficulty holding the pencil in the 'beaky' position (the term that her teacher uses to describe a proper tripod grip). These are perfect for that purpose. Firstly, the dimensions are different from a normal pencil: it's almost triangular in cross-section, so it's easy to put the fingers in the right place. Secondly, the repeating dot pattern really does help improve her grip (which is surprising, since it seems to be just a layer of slightly thicker paint).In fact, they are so good, I have nabbed one for my own use. A great pencil for sketching and drafting. They sharpen easily, and the lead never seems to break. Really impressed.

These pencils, triangular in section with rounded edges and little black dots along their length, are brilliant for anyone using pencils extensively (as I do, working on original manuscripts in archives). They are very easy to hold for long periods at a time as the little dots allow air to circulate under fingers so that they don't get sticky or slippery. Also, the leads are strong and don't need resharpening very frequently. They are not easy to find individually in shops, but online packs of six are good value. I warmly recommend them to everyone and often buy them for gifts.

These are the best pencils I have found! I work in school and have found that some of the children with sensitivity difficulties and have autistic traits/are autistic really benefit from the textured barrel to support them holding a pencil and having stamina to write. Personally I buy the eraser caps (Faber-Castell - don't waste your money on cheaper copies) so have the perfect combination for making notes, working with children etc.I will continue to purchase these pencils above anything else I have found on the market.

I read the reviews for these and initially bought them for my son to improve his handwriting, and as we have hard floors hoping they'd last longer than cheaper pencils where the lead breaks every time they're dropped. But I have since given these to my builders after reading the carpenters reviews and they are most impressed too. Best pencil they've used in 25 years!!!

The pencils are great for my son to use when doing homework. Would have expected the pencils to actually have been sent in a packet as was advertised, but were delivered loosely in padded enevelope, so wasn't an issue.

I got these for my grandson, who is left handed and was having problems with his writing, these are much easier for him to hold and has improved his handwriting....Got the Trio sharpener to go with, also good

I’ve used these pencils for years, I’m a teaching assistant in a primary school, & the children love to borrow one - they say theirs handwriting improves because the triangular grip fits their fingers

Excellent. For 6 pencils at this price they are excellent quality. The grip is really comfortable. They seem to be quite sturdy and durable. I would say they are possibly better then Wopex pencils

I already had a pencil like this ones, so I know that they perform very well. For me is the best pencil for drawing. It came all neatly packaged and arrived in a very acceptable time line.

These pencils are great. I bought them for my grandson who has double jointed fingers and seemed to struggle with ordinary pencils. The grip on these have made all the difference for him.

My child has sensory issues and hated writing with normal pencils. His teacher cannot believe how his handwriting has changed just from changing his pencils and neither can we!

I brought these pencils for my son but I keep using them and they keep ending up in my draw at work!!! Great pencils, easy to use and sturdy. 6 pack is value for money.

I use these pencils all the time. They are well made strong and last a long time. They don’t break at the tip when you sharpen it and the price is good too.
