Pentel Mechanical Pencil Lead, Ain Stein, 0.5mm, 3H (C275-3H)

This lead is my new favorite because I don’t exert a lot of pressure when I write. 4B is definitely darker than 3B, which is exactly what I had hoped.

The lead is just what I needed without having to constantly sharpen pencils!

These leads write smoothly, and they write darkly enough to see well for working crossword puzzles.

Do you hate pencils that smudge or transfer from one sheet of paper to another ? Me, too ! Harder lead is what is needed, and this product is it !

Bought this lead to try it out cuz I've never use d lead of this type, and honestly I really love the darkness and smoothness of it.

This is an amazing lead. it is dark, soft and leaves a great texture. Due to softness, it runs out pretty fast but it does a great job. I use HB mechanical pencil for my drawing and wanted something dark for drawing hair/shadows, this is just perfect. I don't like to carry the set of pencils from 4H to 4B. I like to keep it simple, one HB mechanical pencil and one 4B mechanical pencil. This is a perfect choice for all the minimalists like me.

Exactly as described, cool little twist top...

Pre drawing brainstorming was a treat, and actual drawing construction lines on a drawing are so key to accuracy and allowing access to reference lines. Best hardness for these critical lines in professional work.

These leads are smooth to use but far less prone to snapping or crumbling than the other brands I have used. These are much stronger than even the Staedtler ones, let alone the cheaper varieties and consequently are far nicer to use. They also contain over 90% of recyled material which is laudable. When used on watercolour paper for a initial sketch they erase easily and don't indent the surface as many other leads and pencils are prone to do. This makes life a lot easier if, like me, you are prone to be heavy-handed.

I was considering ordering some pencils when my ‘clicky pencil’ ran out but thought heck, let’s save the environment and see if I can reuse this tube of plastic.The lead was easy to drop into my empty pencil, clicked a few times, lead emerged et viola! Bonus points for not being super easy to smudge, as a leftie I tend to drag everything across the page as I write but not so much with this lead.The dispenser is pretty nifty too. None of the lead has arrived broken as far as I can see.Rubs out well, if you’re as prone to diary changes as I am (some would say flaky).

Son más oscuras que las europeas y te dan 40 minas en lugar de 12. Sé que parecen caras a primera vista, pero si calculas (que sé que la mayoría no lo hacen...muy mal) verás que son de hecho más baratas que las de otras marcas famosas. Dale al botón de "útil" de abajo, si te ha sido útil.

I bought 2 packs of these leads to go with my new mechanical pencil as I needed some replacements.I was not disappointed with the quality and durability of this brand. Having never bought this type of thing before, and only using disposable pencils I was very pleased to find that this lead was just as tough and durable as the nano diamond lead that came with my pencil.They are also just as comfortable to write with, the lead is smooth to the touch of paper and flows brilliantly, an absolute pleasure.Not only that but you get so many (40 leads) at such an amazing price. The stylish blue container they come in is very tough and keeps the lead safe inside, and the mechanism in the twist cap to open is brilliant for controlling how many leads you wish to remove from the container at any one time.They arrived very quickly and in a well padded, thick envelope. Very pleased with this purchase and I would highly recommend this product, I'll certainly be buying more when I eventually run out.Pros:- Very durable- High quantity- Smooth flowing- Stylish and durable container (reminds me of an old ipod)- Amazingly cheap- Well packaged- Quick deliveryCons:- None so far, very pleased.

Can be useful to opt fine dark detailing, 4b Leads are very dark, smooth and sturdy. Follow my Instagram @amit_pathak95 whr i created some artworks using these leads🙌
