Amazon Basics Wood-Cased #2 Pencils, Pre-sharpened, HB Lead Bulk Box, 150 Count, Yellow
Overview
Amazon Basics Wood-Cased #2 Pencils (pre-sharpened, HB lead) are a no-frills bulk supply of classic yellow wooden pencils sold in a 150-count box. They’re designed for environments that need reliable, ready-to-use writing instruments — classrooms, test centers, offices, and event giveaways — where convenience and volume matter. The pencils arrive pre-sharpened so you can distribute or use them immediately, and the HB/#2 lead is the standard grade required for many standardized tests and everyday writing. Buyers choose this pack when they want an economical, consistent supply of familiar, full-length wooden pencils without the hassle of repeated sharpening or frequent replenishment.

- Wood-cased construction in classic yellow finish, full-length standard pencil (approx. 7.5 inches).
