I’m actually really picky about my own personal pencils. I have a favorite brand, and I have a favorite brand of erasers to put on them. Nevertheless, I was really excited to try out these pencils because although they didn't have the price tag of a Dixon-Ticonderoga, they still worked really well.
QUALITY:
These are just your every day, basic pencils, but that’s how I like mine. I hate pencils with that plastic film with a design printed on them. With “cute” pencils, you aren’t paying for the pencil, you’re paying for whatever logo is on it (like Frozen or Star Wars). When you sharpen those ones for the first time, the film splits and then the cute design ends up peeling off. However, these AmazonBasics pencils were easy to sharpen, and they were nice to write with. Sometimes, pencils are prone to have the graphite split so there is a strange press on the paper, resulting in “double” writing. I wrote for a bit with the pencil and even as it dulled, it still wrote nicely. You can note a small letter I wrote to test it; it is the third image.
ERASER:
Another thing I hate about cheap pencils is the garbage erasers. As a teacher, I write most things in pen, but I always do my grade book in pencil. If a student turns in something late, I need to erase the previous grade to change it, and I can’t stand having left over marks from a bad eraser. Now, as I mentioned, I have one specific brand of erasers which are honestly God’s gift to humanity, and I always slap one of those bad boys on my pencils, but this really wasn’t bad as far as erasers go. I mean, it was still obvious that I made a mistake, but I also press into the paper like I’m trying to cut a hole into the table underneath. I write DARK. I have many students who press lightly. As well, if I were drawing, I would draw lighter. In the third picture attached to this review, there are two instances of erasing. The first is over “film” in fourth line in the first paragraph. The other is the second paragraph, titled “Eraser test.” As I mentioned, I write so dark that it’s difficult to erase to the point where it doesn’t appear that there was a mistake at all, but I also think your average person wouldn’t mind. I can clearly make out what is written over the erased bits, and no annoying parts of the eraser were left behind (like a giant pink smudge… Ugh, I hate that the most).
SMUDGE TEST:
Speaking of smudges, I don’t frequently smudge my pencil work because I’m right handed. However, I have left handed students who turn in work that is barely legible because they drag their hand throughout their writing constantly. Thinking of them, I wanted to test out how badly the graphite smudged on a hand. The results are the fourth picture. Now, this wasn’t just me carefully dragging my hand over the paper; I really pressed, TRYING to smudge the words. And yeah, I did smudge it a bit, and yeah, I did get some graphite on my hand. However, this is NOTHING compared to some of the other pencils I’ve seen. As you can see from my hand, it was minor, considering I was literally pressing hard on the paper, trying to get the graphite on my hand.
OVERALL:
The bottom line is that a 12 pack of any type of pencils can go for over $2. In fact, a lot of times the “cute” pencils are the most expensive, but they’re the worst as far as quality. If looks aren’t a thing you care about, but do care about quality, these are the best deal. A 96 pack of Ticonderoga pencils can range from $14-$20 (depending on packaging and color and where you’re buying them). I always use Ticonderogas as the standard for the perfect pencil because I used them throughout my childhood; my mother was literally born in Ticonderoga, NY. However, the AmazonBasics are the best bang for your buck. Are they cute? Is your kid going to be inspired by the cool Frozen or Star Wars logo? No. Because this is a standard, BASIC pencil. They’re just yellow. But to be honest, those “cool looking” pencils always lack quality compared to something like this. The simplicity is what makes these pencils so great; they’re just pencils. They know their function, and they get the job done. These are definitely going to be my “good” pencils from now on, especially to give out to kids who really are responsible with their supplies.

I love that they are pre-sharpened. You can just open the box and go.
They do sharpen relatively well, but there will always be shat sharpener that just eats pencils for the heck of it. They aren't hollow sounding, and the paint won't gum up the sharpener
I love the price, especially since I have it on my subscribe and save.
They write and erase quite well. The lead inside isn't cracked, and the erasers are great. So great, a few of my middle schoolers thought it would be fun to pop off all the erasers and throw them at each other, so I called each of their coaches and explained their players can't throw for poop and need to do extra laps for each eraser I find on the floor, and 2 for each new pencil with a popped off eraser. I'm not saying this is why we won the county track meet, but it didn't hurt.
Lastly, the little box these come in: completely unrelated to pencils at all. The little box these come in is useful for storing small cables and other desk items. Or you can hoard all the boxes and have your students use them for "shoe box" projects.
So, while these aren't Ticonderoga (the Cadillac of Pencils), they are definitely the GMC (back in the good days) of pencils.
First and foremost, the quality of these pencils is excellent. The HB lead provides a smooth and consistent writing experience, making it easy for my kids to complete their assignments neatly and accurately. Plus, the pre-sharpened tips save time and hassle, ensuring that they can start writing right away without having to search for a sharpener.
The bulk box of 150 pencils is incredibly convenient, providing more than enough pencils to last my kids throughout the school year. It’s also great for keeping extras on hand for when they inevitably misplace or break a pencil.
I appreciate the classic yellow design of the pencils, which is not only timeless but also easy to spot in their pencil cases or desks. The hexagonal shape of the pencils provides a comfortable grip for writing, reducing hand fatigue during long writing sessions.
Overall, I couldn’t be happier with the Amazon Basics Woodcased #2 Pencils. They are a reliable and cost-effective option for school supplies, and I highly recommend them to any parent looking to stock up on pencils for their kids’ schoolwork.
