STAEDTLER WOPEX Pre-Sharpened #2 Pencils, Pack of 20 - Ergonomic Triangular Shape, Break-Resistant, Non-Slip Surface, Wood-Polymer, PVC-Free Eraser Tip

This pencil offers great value. The design is simple yet stylish, and the grip makes it comfortable to hold, even during longer writing sessions. The pencil writes smoothly, with good lead quality that doesn’t break easily. The eraser is decent—it works well for light marks but might struggle with heavier shading. Overall, it’s a well-made pencil.

Well made and writes well

These were used for marking up a wooden boat project. The lead was dark as expected for a #2 pencil. It wasn’t scratchy as some harder pencils can be. No report of lead breakage. Sharpens to a fine point.

These pre-sharpened pencils have a nice point - not the tiny shallow factory points I usually see on pre-sharpened pencils. The pencil feels nice in the hand. Well-balanced. The eraser works very well. My experience with resin or composite wood case pencils has been average at best. Many have a very waxy feel on the paper, but these Wopex pencils are closer to natural graphite in the feel going on the paper. They write smoothly but a little bit light. A tiny bit less than the average HB/#2 in the USA, but within the acceptable range. The durability of the composite lead they use is excellent. I have written several pages in cursive and the point retention is better than I even hoped for. I sharpened just now and it sharpens nicely. Rotate the pencil a bit lower than a traditional wood pencil, and the composite wood is a little denser. Overall, for a composite wood pencil, these are a pretty good value. I took one star off due to the lightness of the lead and the slight waxy feeling on the paper, but I will be buying these again.

I had enough of cheap / low quality pencils in my woodworking shop, so I gave these a try. They make smooth, sharp, and clear markings on wood, which makes it easier to see and make accurate cuts. These pencils stay sharper longer and don't break as easily. The bright green colors are also high visibility and don't readily get lost among other woodworking paraphernalia. Germany makes high performance motorcycles, machinery, cars, tools, and now pencils. I recommend these.

These pencils are so smooth when writing and also easy to sharpen. Long lasting too!

I was pleasantly surprised by these pencils. I was hesitant because I’d never heard of the brand. But when shopping for pencils I quickly realized how pricey they’ve become. This comes with 10 pencils that write beautifully. The lead doesn’t smudge or crumble and the best part is… they were already sharpened! I really don’t use pencils much so these should last awhile. They’d also be perfect for classrooms. The eraser, pretty good. I can’t stand those erasers that just smudge everything and rip your paper up. These passed the test! I even used the eraser on white canvas boards and it did a good job. Feels comfortable when writing, very sleek, perfect size.

I had to give this pencil 3 stars because it fell short in the lead department. First thing you will notice, these pencils weigh a bit more. Each pencil weighs 0.9grams, compared to a new Staedtler Norica pencil that weighs 0.6grams. So, they weigh about 1/3rd more. The lead is very light in color, unless you press very hard and even then it's still lighter than what you would expect from an HB lead. It is light compared to the Norica, which seems to have a pretty standard shade of HB lead. It's not so light as to be illegible but because it's so light, the marks look more silvery than black. The lead looks waxy, but feels more like plastic. The pencils sharpen well. In fact the point sharpens really well, and is smooth when using even a little hand held manual sharpener. The shavings produced look similar to a cheaper pencil, in chunks rather then smooth ribbons. There is a slight woody smell to the sharpened end, but it's very faint, I am not sure if this is consistent with other batches. I didn't notice any scent from the lead. The leads are decently thick and are pretty strong. You can tap the pencil on your desk and it won't break the point. The lacquer on the pencil is nice, kind of semi-gloss, and it doesn't slip around as much as a glossy pencil if you use lotion or have sweaty hands. The lacquer feels thin, but going by the end of the pencil, it's actually pretty thick. The eraser isn't that good, it's hard on paper. It's an ok pencil, one I got them for the novelty, but they are not a pencil I would buy again, which is a shame because if only the leads were darker it would be a pretty nice pencil, on par with the Norica, but better because it uses recycled materials. Perhaps if there were a 2b version, that would be closer to what you would expect from an HB lead.

These pencils are smooth, easy to write with, and have a strong lead that doesn’t break easily. The erasers work well without smudging. Perfect for school, work, or drawing. Great quality for the price! Highly recommend!

Favourite pencils to buy. Easy to sharpen and the lead doesn't keep breaking.

Excellent, bought them for my child for school. No complaints.

The pencils are great! I like how strong they are and they write pretty smoothly! They already come pre-sharpened which is really nice!!

These are the best pencils and write smoothly. They are easy to sharpen and stay sharp for a long time of use. I also love that they have a great eraser that doesn't smudge writing
