After a few months of minimal use the spring stopped working, so no lead stays out of the pencil, making it unusable.

I really love this pencil. The lead is a super vibrant pink and very easy to read on white paper. I color code my notes at school and it is awesome to have colored pencils I don't have to sharpen constantly and that erase cleanly. my only issue with them is that there is a little plastic lid covering the eraser, which I have to constantly remove and replace. I figure I'll lose all of the little lids eventually and it won't be an issue.

This mechanical pencil produces nice pastel pink color for drawing. It comes with 2 pink leads within the body. Filling it with 0.7mm width 2B or HB black leads and it turns into a school work pencil.

this is so cute it is pink omggggggggggggggggggggg i like it i put 0.7mm the regular lead in it

I need to have a pencil in my fabric pencil case but in the past a pencil always either stains (esp a wooden one) or pokes and tears (a mechanical one) but this baby solves the problem: the head is fully retractable! So I bought a pink one to match my newly bought Kokuyo Capara in dark blue whose handles are lined in pink. When the lead that comes with it are finished I will just use 2B black lead so it becomes a regular work pencil.

I AM ADDICTED TO THIS PENCIL (ESPECIALLY THE LEAD)! The pencil has a nice grip and feel to my hand and it's really great, the color. I used to think I would not like blue pencil because it's color never appealed to me. (I usually like dark black pencil lead or glossy black ink.) When I used this pencil though, the softness of the lead (you can press hard, but the lead WILL break if you do), the color (beautiful and soft light sky blue), and the effect it has on my drawings (I think they look better in this lead color than regular 2B lead.)
It's worth the price. (There are two leads in the pencil.)

I really love this pencil. Like really really love this pencil. The lead is a super vibrant purple and very easy to read on white paper. I color code my notes at school and it is awesome to have colored pencils I don't have to sharpen constantly and that erase cleanly. my only issue with them is that there is a little plastic lid covering the eraser, which I have to constantly remove and replace. I figure I'll lose all of the little lids eventually and it won't be an issue... I use this one so often I've already ordered extra purple lead for it. I've gone from using regular mechanical pencils to write all my notes to doing them mostly in purple and adding the other Pilot Color Eno pencils in for colorcoding. This is by far my favorite pencil. The color is great and the grip is perfect!

Bought for my wife who is a non-CPA Accountant. Here is her review after using the Pencil for a month or so: "I would say good. Writes smooth and interesting to have a colored pencil. The only complaint I have with it is that you have to write more upright than at a slant. Lead breaks rather quickly if slanted, but not so when up right."

Ah... this pencil is just wonderful. I have a whole bunch in green, pink, and blue for sketching. The colors are bold and bright (just like the picture they posted above) - and because they are not graphite-colored, you can very easily lineart or ink your work over it. It writes very smooth, while giving you the crisp controlled lines you look for in a mechanical pencil. Amazing product, and they last.

Not typically a colored pencil user, however, I was very surprised and pleased with this one. It gives good color whether coloring in an area or regular handwriting. I did not experience any skipping that can happen with colored pencils. The eraser is not that great, but that is to be expected. Most mechanical pencil erasers are dismal and I don't really use them unless I don't have a hand held eraser handy. That being said, I thought this eraser worked pretty well at erasing all the color from the page. Application wise, I think these would work well for taking notes and using them to designate important information with color coding. They do color areas in well, but like most mechanical pencils you have to use a soft hand lest the lead breaks. I wouldn't use them to color large projects although I think it would do so beautifully. I just don't think it would be practical due to the price of the leads and the need to have to replace the lead frequently depending on how large of an area needing color. These is a great pencil. I certainly hope that Pilot ultimately adds more colors to this line.

The color of this pencil is much lighter than I expected, but exactly what I've been looking for. It's very convenient not to have to sharpen it as you would have to do with a wooden pencil, and it's infinitely cooler and better looking. As soon as I get my debit card, I'm going to order all of the other colors available.

I never used to like photo-blue pencils. then a friend of mine showed me this one. Now I use it for everything!! The blue is bright enough to see yet does not scan. Absolutely love it!

I really like this set of mechanical colored pencils. This green color is a vibrant kelly green and very easy to see. I color-code my notes at school and it is fantastic to have colored pencils I don't have to constantly sharpen and that erase completely when I make a mistake. My only complaint (which isn't very big) is that there is a plastic cap covering the eraser and I have to constantly remove it to erase my mistakes. I'm fairly certain that I will lose the little cap fairly quickly and it will no longer be an issue.

I love these pencils. I got the yellow one and the lead is great. The color is very vibrant and pretty transparent because it's yellow after all it's hard to see anyway. But I just love the mechanical pencil itself. I just bought it to use as a regular mechanical pencil and works like magic! I love this pencil! :)

I love this Pencil. It is great for Sketching, and making and outline for a drawing. Although, don't draw to hard if you plan on erasing it. I have many drawings in my sketch book that you can still see the the blue. I highly recommend this Pencil for anyone who is an artist, or a doodler, because I just bought another 10 packs of 6 leads, and even went to a Red One. :D

Great pencil.

I really love this pencil. The lead is a super vibrant aqua blue and very easy to read on white paper. I color code my notes at school and it is awesome to have colored pencils I don't have to sharpen constantly and that erase cleanly. my only issue with them is that there is a little plastic lid covering the eraser, which I have to constantly remove and replace. I figure I'll lose all of the little lids eventually and it won't be an issue... This aqua blue is really fun and easy to read. Of all the colors in the Pilot Color Eno line, this one is my second favorite.

I love the Pilot Color Eno line of pencils, but so far the orange is my least favorite. mainly because the lead is fairly light and not as easy to read as the other pencils in the line. I also don't like the lid covering the eraser.

this pencil is awesome omg this is my favorite colr that is why i like it

Very comfortable to use. Writes a nice smooth line. The orange color is interesting, but hard to read.

Writes smoothly and puts down a nice line. The green color is bright but dark enough and easy to read.

Just plain Awsome! this pen also has a really nice feel it it to, the part where the lead is blue is awsome, and the pencil it self is Awsome, and it's all really awsome!

I love that the lead is erasable (usually coloured pencils are almost impossible to rub off) but all the pencils in this range have soft lead for both writing and drawing that is easy to erase if you've made a mistake. LOVE it.

These are excellent mechanical pencils for those on a budget. I have quite a few of the Soft Blue as it is the perfect shade to act as a non repro/photo blue for animation and comics (and is now non exsistant in the UK unless you import). I plan to grab the Red next as that is easier to see when drawing all those frames! They are quite durable though I don't have a heavy hand, but many that do will be pleased that the leads won't break easily.

Pilot are correct in that they erase VERY WELL, and with any eraser at all. As long you're not too heavy on the pressure with the pencil, you won't even see anything when you erase it (as in a dent in the paper)!

I bought this pencil before the blue one cause it was sold out =\ but I bought it soon after it was back in stock. Anyways, I'm gonna say the same for the Blue pencil, this is a great product, good for the money if your planning to stay on a budget, and it will not break as easily. For those who plan on saving money and find a pencil thats not so dull or boring as a gray one, then I would recommend this one (or the Blue one)! A must-buy!

Regarding the yellow lead:
This is far the lightest one of the Color Eno Series. I've read many times about the yellow ones being too hard. But mine are fine. Smooth to write/draw with.
Just keep in mind that these are no Graphite leads. They break easily if treated too hard.
