Pentel Back to School Pens & Pencils

A pen or two worth writing about ...  Pentel gave us the chance to check out (via provided samples) an array of pens, pencils, and highlighters that are perfect for the back to school crowd.  I found myself particularly impressed by the efforts they've made to make these items more eco-friendly.


For example the Handy-line S retractable highlighter is made from 54 percent post consumer recyled plastic.  Additionally, this marker is refillable making the barrel reusable throughout the entire year.
Another favorite of mine was the Rolly 4-color pen.  It puts black, red, blue, and green all into one slim pen design reducing the need for 4 separate pens down to 1.

The kid's favorite pencil is the new Jolt mechanical.  It dispenses more lead with two quick shakes and is guarateed to scan on tests and documents.
