Pencil Lead Holder and Lead Set, Multi 8 Set (PH802ST)

Classic Pentel quality. Feels good in the hand, writes cleanly, and the included leads are decent. Nothing flashy, just a well made tool that does exactly what you want.

Great addition to pocket, everyday sketching kit. I’ve had no problem with its functionality and it’s comfortable to use, not being too bulky in the hand. I might like to swop out some of the colours so hope there are more colours to choose from.

very nice build and quality feels good in your hand

A friend and fellow artist recommended this pencil set to me and I am not disappointed. The mechanism is a little fiddly but quick to get used to and it works really well. The pencil is well put together and sturdy. The colours are bright and strong and perfect for sketching on the go.

This is one of my favourite mechanical pencils. It's not too heavy to hold for long periods. The coloured leads are smooth and creamy, which makes drawing with them a real pleasure. The colours are vibrant and all work well together. Yes, the yellow is quite light on white paper, but that's to be expected. A little care is needed when switching colours round, ensuring that the lead has properly returned into the pen before rotating the clip to select your next colour. There's enough resistance that you shouldn't break the lead though. Overall this is a really great product. I bought the set with a complete set of 2 spares each of all 8 colours. I think this would be enough to last for quite a while. You can use other 2mm leads, but you will need to cut them down to the right length first. Great for highlighting text in books, bullet journalling and under drawings/sketches. I love the Non Copy Blue for sketching.

Such a slim instrument given it has 8 different coloured cores. Easy to use, good quality colours - not scratchy or dry. Also found that on most papers, the colours can be erased with a standard eraser. Excellent.

Amazing for work and doodles.

I had used one of these pens for about 15 months, purchased in Japan, and when some "Tea Leaf" stole mine from my briefcase I thought I would not be able to get a replacement. But to my joy Amazon had it, and I had this new one in my possession in three days from losing my old one. Very happy with the service and the quality of my replacement.

Fantastica penna, comoda da utilizzare e semplice cambiare da un colore all'altro. Il tratto dei colori non è molto marcato.

Must buy

I had eyed this for months unsure how it would actually work. But like most Japanese products it’s impeccably designed and it works great. The quality control of hapless products is superb so there’s a bit of a price difference compared to other products that you can find but the durability makes it worth it!

Geniale Idee von Pentel. Wenn man sich mit der Bedienung auseinandergesetzt hat funktioniert das tadellos. Die Originalminen sind etwas teuer aber man kann halbe von anderen Herstellern verwenden, das klappt ganz gut

As an artist, the Pentel Multi 8 is an absolute gem in my toolkit. Having 8 vibrant coloured leads in one sleek mechanical pencil makes sketching, color-coding, and quick ideation effortless. The switching mechanism is smooth, and the grip feels balanced in hand. It’s perfect for on-the-go creativity—no more carrying a dozen pencils! The leads are soft yet precise, ideal for everything from rough thumbnails to detailed work. A must-have for illustrators, designers, and creative minds who love both colour and convenience.
