Crayola isn't my favorite brand of pencils, but this set is very nice considering I don't have to worry as much about scratchy lead (though not the smoothest), splitting wood (not the most pleasant I've sharpened though), or breaking tips (again not the best). I've never met a pencil perfectly good at all three of these points, so being pretty good at all three is darn good especially considering they also have the benefit of a variety of colors.
