## Description

From the manufacturer Pentel C279 Ain Stein Fine Lead About Pentel With fresh ideas, we have been realizing our visions worldwide from Japan since 1946 and set trends for the future. We do this in an environmentally friendly and sustainable way. Under the brand "Recycology" products are manufactured with a high percentage of recycled materials. Our range extends from classic and trendy writing instruments to markers to hobby art supplies. 70 years of innovation have set new standards. So a large part of the writing instrument developments used today come from Pentel's own research. Pentel C279 Ain Stein Fine Leads Assortment The strongest pencil lead in the world What makes this pencil lead so special? A manufacturing process developed by Pentel gives the fine leads increased elasticity, but at the same time a compact and firm structure, similar to a honeycomb. Thanks to this technology, a uniquely high load limit is achieved. Therefore, the Ain Stein fine leads are particularly shatterproof. Of course, soft abrasion and a rich stroke complete the high-quality properties. Extremely shatterproof Rich stroke, without scratching 36 fine leads per tin Available in three degrees of hardness Pentel C279 Ain Stein Fine Leads Pentel C279 Ain Stein fine leads are suitable for all standard mechanical pencils in line width 0.9 mm and are available in three different degrees of hardness. Each hardness has a different tin colour, so they can be easily separated. The Pentel C279 Ain Stein leads are supplied in a specially designed lead box. Each tin contains 36 fine leads. A storage pack that lasts a very long time and is even cheaper and more environmentally friendly compared to standard 12 pieces of packaging. The lid slides aside for removal and is therefore not lost. Pentel develops and produces environmentally friendly writing instruments, making an important contribution to a clean environment. Each Pentel Recycology product is made from at least 50% recycled material (based on the total weight, without consumables). The Ain Stein pencil tins even have a percentage of 92% recycled material.

Review: Great Value and Quality - I found a lovely mechanical pencil that had lain used for over thirty years, but was uncertain of the lead size. I read on a pen-related website that general purpose pencils made in the 70’s and 80’s normally used a 0.9mm lead, so took a chance on these. They fit perfectly and the softness of the B grade makes them ideal for newsprint crosswords. Very pleased.
Review: The best I have ever tried. - Smooth, black and doesn't keep breaking. I believe this is the best lead I have ever tried.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Value and Quality
*by P***P on 29 July 2018*

I found a lovely mechanical pencil that had lain used for over thirty years, but was uncertain of the lead size.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The best I have ever tried.
*by M***N on 3 May 2025*

Smooth, black and doesn't keep breaking. I believe this is the best lead I have ever tried.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 2B, good choice for woodworking pencils
*by P***S on 1 March 2020*

I am currently using these 2B leads in my pencil for woodworking. The leads are well presented in a clever twist lid dispenser and seem to be robust enough even for marking up wood, but soft enough to give a nice dark line.
