Four Candies 0.7mm Mechanical Pencils (HB & 2B) with Pastel Eraser Set – 16-count value pack
Product description
If you want a pencil set that’s ready for day-to-day writing and basic sketching, this Four Candies value pack leans into convenience. You get multiple mechanical pencils, a large bulk supply of leads, and a pastel eraser setup in a carry case—so it’s more “grab-and-go” than a one-off pencil.
That said, it’s still a mid-range school-and-stationery style set. It’s designed to be practical (and cute), not to chase maximum artist-level performance, so it may not suit you if you’re very specific about feel, lead behaviour, or eraser style.
The essentials
This is a 16-count bundle built around 0.7mm mechanical pencils. On paper, the biggest appeal is the combination of:
- Six mechanical pencils in assorted colours (navy, blue, violet, pink, rose, purple)
- A bulk supply of leads: 360 leads spread across six tubes
- Three pastel erasers plus nine eraser refills
- A carry case for storing and transporting everything
The pencils themselves use a retractable tip for pocket safety, include a built-in eraser with refills, and have a cute pen clip. There’s also an ergonomic triangular grip aimed at comfort during longer writing sessions.
What you’ll notice in use
A 0.7mm lead size sits in a useful middle ground for most people: fine enough for neat work, but not so tiny that it feels fiddly for everyday note-taking. The set covers two common writing needs by including HB leads for everyday tasks and 2B leads for softer, darker marks suited to sketches.
On the comfort side, the triangular grip is meant to reduce hand fatigue, which can matter if you’re doing homework, revision notes, or longer journalling.
Also, mechanical pencils are often chosen because you don’t have to sharpen—this set is very much in that “no fuss” category. The leads are described as resin leads with enhanced strength and elasticity, with the aim of reducing breakage and keeping the line quality consistent.
Where it shines
If you like the idea of having spares and refills ready, this pack makes a lot of sense. The lead quantity is a clear time-saver: you’re less likely to run out quickly, and having multiple pencils in different colours can be handy for separating subjects, drafts, or tasks.
The erasers are also positioned as an everyday-friendly part of the kit. They’re designed to erase with minimal residue and are described as producing clean strips, which can help with quick tidying after you’ve rubbed out a section.
Things to be cautious about
Value packs can be brilliant, but they can also hide mismatches. Here are the main limits to consider:
- Lead and eraser feel is personal. Even if the set is described as smooth and low-residue, you might still prefer a different pencil balance or eraser texture.
- It’s not positioned as a premium artist kit. The set is aimed at school use, writing, drawing and sketching, but if you’re chasing specific high-end performance, you may find it stays more in the practical mid-gamut.
- You’re committing to the included lead types. Since the pack focuses on HB and 2B, it’s best if those hardness levels match what you actually do most.

What’s in the box (and how to think about the value)
For many buyers, the decision comes down to whether you want spares and refills bundled together. This pack is built for that mindset: instead of buying pencils and refills one at a time, you get a full set that’s ready for storage in the included case.
A practical example: if you’re doing a school term with weekly homework and revision, you can keep one pencil in your pencil case and leave another in your bag. When leads or eraser refills run low, you’re not immediately searching for replacements.
Who it suits (and who may want to skip it)
It makes sense if you want multiple 0.7mm mechanical pencils, a plentiful lead supply in HB and 2B, and a matched eraser system that’s designed to keep things relatively tidy.
It may not suit you if you’re a perfectionist about pencil performance and want to pick your lead hardnesses, line character, and eraser type with more control. Also, if you dislike the triangular grip shape, you may find the comfort design doesn’t match your hand.
Is it worth it?
Worth considering if you want a dependable 0.7mm mechanical pencil bundle for everyday writing, schoolwork, and lightweight sketching, especially when you value having refills on hand. The retractable tip, built-in eraser with refills, and large lead count are all “useful in real life” features.
You may want to skip it if you’re shopping for a highly specialised, artist-focused pencil setup, or if you know you prefer a different lead hardness mix or eraser feel than HB/2B and pastel erase refills.
Either way, it’s a strong “starter-and-spares” concept rather than a minimal single-pencil purchase.
