Charles Leonard Checking Pencil, Combination Red and Blue Colored Leads, 12/Box (65045)

These red pencils work perfectly for checking and grading. The color is bright, the erasers actually work, and they sharpen nicely.

They come pre sharpened! What a bonus.

They work very well

I just received these pencils, and like several other reviews that I've read, the leads all the way down the pencils are broken, making it impossible to use. I originally gave these pencils 1 star due to finding broken lead when first sharpening. I thought at first that they were all broken all the way down, but in all fairness, I was able to use both ends of the pencil once I was past the first inch or so. I will report back depending on what I find with the other pencils in the box. I'm back and have had no further problems with these pencils after several weeks. I can safely say they are mostly fine, and that for the price I do recommend them. I won't be so quick next time with criticism until I've had a chance to use and inspect the product fully.

Yep. Imporant for essay checking.

Theses pencils are a fantastic addition to my office supplies. These pre-sharpened #2 HB pencils, complete with erasable tops, are perfect for a variety of tasks, including checking documents, map coloring, and even general writing needs. The quality of these pencils is immediately noticeable. The lead is just the right balance between soft and hard, making them ideal for clear, visible marks without being too harsh on the paper. The color is vibrant and stands out well, which is particularly useful for marking important points or corrections in documents.

Difficult to sharpen

Love these!! Great for more than just grading student papers!!

Very good

Beaucoup de couleur verte dans mes dessins de fleurs.

they are a bit dry & scratchy, I prefer more smoothness, more wax in color pencils for a better flow on paper

I never have enough green pencils. These work great and sharpen nicely. I use them for all my foliage colouring.

I would have liked it if the lead was a little softer. I will watch out for that if I need anymore.
