Great Quality Pencils,
Working in an engineering consulting firm, we are using these pencils for drawing mark-up for years. They are of excellent quality. The lead is always balanced in the center core. The softness of the wood is just perfect for sharpening. It is just not as easy to erase as a regular graphite pencil if you make a mistake.

A hardy predictable red pencil, 20045,
I am a genealogist who is employed as a reviewer/verifier of applications and their accompanying documentation submitted by applicants wishing to join those societies. In the course of these reviews, I note each Generation (by underlining the names and assigning a generation number) and make comments on each set of documents being reviewed. All the information and marks that I add to the documents are to be performed with an erasable red pencil. For this work, a red pencil is, for the most part, the only tool that I use.
For many years I was able to find Prismacolor Col-Erase Carmine Red Pencils at most local office and school supply stores, so supply was never a problem. However, in the last year only Ticonderoga Checking(TM) pencils can be found locally. Believing that all red pencils were, basically, the same, I bought a dozen of the Ticonderoga brand red pencils. Big mistake! The “lead” or, the more correct term “core” of the Ticonderoga brand pencils is very fragile or soft causing the point to break off and to wear down quickly.
Thinking that I had gotten a bad shipment I purchased other Ticonderoga brand pencils from different stores in different cities, with the same results. At the same time, I tried to find Prismacolor Col-Erase red pencils. I could only find them in a few art supply stores and those were wildly expensive and did not have erasers.
Well, thank goodness for the Internet and Amazon (TM) and their suppliers as I was able to order the Prismacolor Col-Erase Carmine Red Pencils, by the dozen, and they are the same great pencil as what I have been using for years. So, if you are unhappy with your present checking pencil – definitely consider the Prismacolor Col-Erase Carmine Red Pencil (#20045).

False advertising!,
This better be a good pencil because you’re paying nearly $5 for 1. There is no verbiage that says this – buyer beware!
