Our take on the Mattel USA Gold Premium Cedar No 2 Pencils 12-pack

These are standard #2 HB wood pencils in a 12-pack, pre-sharpened and made with premium American cedar. The 2mm lead is the everyday hardness most school tests and scanners expect, and the latex-free eraser is attached. They sit in the same class as Ticonderoga and Dixon Ticonderoga-style cedar pencils: solid wood that sharpens cleanly rather than splintering like cheap basswood. Buyers rate them highly and returns are rare, so they suit classrooms, offices and test days.
