Pentel Super Hi-Polymer Lead Refill, 0.9mm Thick, 2B, 180 Pieces of Lead (50-9-2B),Gray

-

Absolutely love the 2B. If you have been using the standard HB that every retailer carries you are missing out! Broad Scope: The hardness of the lead goes hand-and-hand with the thickness. Soft lead (2B, 4B, etc) will break more easily with a 0.3 or 0.5 mm pencil so you might need a thicker lead depending on how hard you write. I used to use a 0.5 HB and as my writing progressed I have noticed that you can simply read your writing more easily with a 0.9 2B although I still use my 0.5 for drafting. I got to try the 0.9 HB that came with my pencil and just like all the other HB lead it felt very hard and not very smooth. Specific to This Product: After buying this box of lead, I now have a lifetime worth of 2B lead... Like an insane amount. (does anybody want some of mine? lol. but seriously. don't message me.) I do have to 'click' out way more lead than when I was using HB but it is totally worth it. With HB I don't recall ever needing to 'click' more lead, while using this lead I have to do it every few sentences. Maybe I am exaggerating a bit but this is how I feel. I have not needed to reload more lead pieces yet so I guess that's a good sign. Silky smooth writing and very dark readable text... I cannot ask for more from this lead. I have not tried anything softer than 2B but I believe this is a nice starting point for somebody wanting a softer lead than HB. I must say with the 0.9, it has very thick lines. do not buy this lead and plan on drafting with it or any type of detailed work. I use it only for writing and love it for only that purpose.

I bought two boxes of 0.9mm refill leads when it on sale on Amazon. Each box had 12 tubes with 15 leads on each tube as shown on the description. The quality of the leads are excellent at 2B softness and darkness. Non lead is broken on any tube. I use a lot of refill lead for my work. These 0.9 mm leads are my favorite leads due to the darkness and durability of the lead. I am happy with the leads.

Excellent leads. Bought for my Pika mechanical pencil. There's enough here to last me a lifetime.

Mine di qualità, durezza 2B: ottime per gli appunti ed il disegno, anche per tratti marcati e neri; giusta tenerezza e scorrevolezza, anche su carte mediamente porose. Utilizzate con il portamine Pentel, anch'esso di qualità (giapponese, niente da dire...).

Bonne qualité mais excellent rapport qualité/prix.
