## Long description

BIC CRITERIUM B is a mechanical clutch pencil sold in a pack of 12, designed for consistent writing and drawing without the need for sharpening. Each pencil uses a clutch mechanism to hold and advance the lead, delivering a steady line width suited to office, school and drafting tasks. The multi-pack provides several ready-to-use pencils for frequent use, shared workspaces, classroom settings or long-term supply needs.
Advantages
The clutch mechanism ensures reliable lead retention and controlled advancement, which helps maintain uniform lines during writing and technical drawing. Supplied in a pack of 12, this set reduces downtime from sharpening and provides spare pencils for multiple users. The design is practical for repeated daily use and for environments where having multiple identical pencils is beneficial.

Key specifications
 Product type: mechanical clutch pencil
 Pack quantity: 12 pencils
 Mechanism: clutch (push or squeeze to advance lead)
 Use: writing and drawing without sharpening
 Suitable environments: office, school, drafting
How to use
Insert the lead into the barrel through the rear or open section as indicated by the pencil design, then operate the clutch mechanism to hold the lead in place. Advance additional lead by pressing or operating the clutch when the tip shortens from use. To replace or refill lead, open the clutch mechanism according to the pencil's construction and insert compatible leads of the appropriate diameter. Store pencils capped or with the lead retracted to protect the tip when not in use.
Usage recommendations
For best results, use leads that match the pencil's required diameter and hardness for your tasks (for example HB for general writing or softer/harder grades for specific drawing needs). Keep a few pencils available from the pack for different locations or users to reduce interruptions and ensure consistent performance.
