Customer reviews
Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.
To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzed reviews to verify trustworthiness.

Customers appreciate the quality, thickness, and color accuracy of the blank book. They find the paper thick and sturdy, with visible grid lines. The colors rarely bleed through, making notes and sketches easy to find in project binders. Many customers say it's great for engineering homework and drawing graphs. They also like the design, visibility, and erasing ability. However, opinions vary on whether it offers good value for money.

- Reviewed in the United States on September 30, 2016Color: BuffSize: 0.40"x8.5"x11"Verified PurchaseFor the last few years I have stuck with the basic lined and grid paper that you could find at Walmart and have never been happy with homework or notes that I take. Due to the color and the line density of regular paper it is not exactly easy on the eyes when you are studying for an exam, quiz, etc. I feel like the paper and line color as well as the line thickness provides a good contrast and is very easy on the eyes.
The front of the pad is grid-less and the back side has a grid with brown lines. I typically only use the front for homework because It looks clean and doesn't have the feel of clutter with the the grid. One thing that I will say is that you are able to slightly see the grid through the front of paper before your remove it from the pad so you are able to keep your work very well organized with out having an actual grid on the front side.
The pad is very pencil and pen friendly. I hated writing on the grid paper from Walmart because it takes a large amount of effort just to read one sentence or equation (picture included). You are clearly able to read pencil and paper (although I usually prefer pen) because of the paper color. I have included some images of regular grid paper and engineering grid paper to give an idea of the difference in terms of readability.
This pad is also very durable. The paper is thick and durable unlike some of the other flimsy engineering pads out there.
This is the first engineering pad pads I have ever owned and I am so happy with it that I will continue to buy from Roaring Springs!

- Reviewed in the United States on May 24, 2020Color: GreenSize: 8.5"x11"x1"Verified PurchaseSummary: The Roaring Spring 100-sheet green engineering pads are every bit as good as the corresponding National pads I used 20 years ago. The paper is good quality, resilient, new fiber content made in the U.S.A. (see below for why that's an important distinction). This is now my engineering pad of choice.
Details: I used National's green engineering paper pads for over 20 years, with great results. Then I took a long hiatus (almost 20 years) to do other work, for which I used much brighter, heavier (24 lb.) paper. About a year ago I returned to engineering work for which the same 3-hole-punched green engineering pads are suitable. I still had some of the old National paper left, but when I came to Amazon to order more of it, I found that it was far more expensive than other brands like Tops and Ampad. I ordered some of the el cheapo pads, and ordered some of the present-day National pads for comparison.
The cheap brands were delivered quickly, so I started using them. It was immediately obvious that they're inferior in qualityAlas, after a couple of weeks of "Sorry, your order has been delayed" messages re. the National pads, I finally received a message from Amazon saying that the National pads were unavailable.
So, I still don't know whether the National pads are as high-quality as they were 20 years ago, but I do know why the low-cost pads are so much less costly; they're inferior in quality. The paper in those pads is flimsy, crease/wrinkles/tears easily, and absorbs water like a sponge. I use non-permanent fountain pen ink (on purpose), and if any water gets on the cheap pads, the ink quickly runs into illegibility. The backing cardboard is too flimsy to allow the pad to be used on its own without a clipboard, especially when the pad is less than full.
By comparison, the Roaring Spring pads are far superior. The paper is thicker, less flimsy, more water-resistant, less prone to creasing or tearing, and the backing cardboard is stiff enough for use without a clipboard if necessary.
The "new fiber content made in the U.S.A." is an important factor. I work in environmental engineering, and I've had industrial clients who make recycled paper. The process of reclaiming the usable pulp does great violence to the fibers, with the result that they're shorter than new natural fiber content. The recycled end product is weaker, flimsier, tears more easily, and is generally of inferior quality. By making their paper in the U.S.A., Roaring Spring can more easily ensure the quality of the source material.
There are other reasons why recycled paper is actually less "environmentally friendly" than paper made directly from new pulp. That's especially true with paper products made in countries that are notorious polluters, but you can research that for yourself. For the purposes of this review, it will suffice to say that if using quality paper and supporting best environmental practices are important considerations, Roaring Spring pads satisfy those criteria.
Update: 2022-05-29 - I switched to the buff-colored paper pads (100 sheets) because I prefer the heavier/thicker 20 lb. buff paper over the lighter/thinner 15 lb. green paper. Still the same great Roaring Spring quality; there's just more of it.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 28, 2024Color: BuffSize: 8.5"x11"x1"Verified PurchaseGreat paper but received with smashed corners because not delivered in a box. Amazon says call Roaring Spring but then Amazon says it's their responsibility for shipping. I can't get anyone to help.
UPDATE - Roaring Spring reached out and sent replacement paper that was packaged very well and no smashed corners. Thank you Roaring Spring!
Hopefully Amazon will change the way they are delivering this paper going forward because it's great paper just not delivered well.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 5, 2022Color: BuffSize: 0.40"x8.5"x11"Verified PurchaseI previously bought the TOPS Engineering Computation Pad off of Amazon, and it seriously doesn't come close to how nice the Roaring Springs Pad is. The pad is nice and sturdy, the pages aren't flimsy whatsoever, and there is little to no indentation or bleeding through the pages, something I struggled with immensely with the TOPS version.
The craziest part is that, while the Roaring Springs pad feels way nicer and better quality, it's just about the same price as I paid for my TOPS pad (We're talking a cent difference here).
The only thing you have to worry about is Amazon shipping. They absolutely love putting delicate, paperback books or sheets of paper into the thinnest plastic bags possible. I would recommend buying the product with other things, so it hopefully gets put in an actual box with your other purchases.
