Pentel0.3 Refill 3-piece Set 2BBHBAS for PG1013/513, Packaged Ain Stein Lead, 0.3 mm HB, B, 2B, Tube of 15pcs (XC273-HB,B,2B), 1 Each

Surprisingly durable, I dropped a container on tile from standing and the leads inside were fine. These are not impossible to smudge with your fingers (while trying to), but they smudge less than equivalent leads. The B and 2B seem to smudge about as much as a regular HB, and the HB is somewhat difficult to smudge unless you pile up heavy strokes somewhere. They are nice refills for 3mm. They erase very easily with a kneaded eraser which is also nice.

This is very great for value and it holds up! The lead is very nice and exactly how you want it. Its perfect and i havent had an issue. Very neat.

Very well made for drafting pencils. Great quality and very hard, won't break during use. It provides confidence for doing traditional drafting.

Straight forward pencil led! it works

I purchased this set of lead for my Pentel Graphlet .3mm pencil. I had been using Pentel High Polymer in HB but wanted something more soft and dark. I am an avid wood pencil writer and really enjoy B and HB Japanese drawing pencils because of their point retention and darkness. For that reason I suspected that I would like the B hardness the best, assuming that 2B would be too dark and I would find myself clicking the lead down too much.After trying all three grades in this pack I can confidently say that the 2B hardness is fantastic for daily writing and the best hardness in this pack. You may think that a .3mm pencil is too fine for daily writing but with 2B lead it is a dream. The lead is smooth and dark, meaning you need far less pressure than with a b or hb. Because of the softness of the lead when you rotate the pencil as your write the sharp side wears down quickly, meaning punching through paper is no longer a concern in the slightest. I have been writing with the 2b lead throughout the day for two weeks and haven't had a single breakage from writing. Smudging is non-existent too, which is important for a lefty. I will be buying Ain Stein 2B lead until the day I die.

Good deal

Ive used other pencil leads from Uni and Pentel, and I honestly dont notice a difference in any of them. Its not easy to find anything other than HB type out in any retail outlet here in the USA, and even the 0.3mm size is not always available. Amazon seems to be the only consistent option for mechanical pencils and their refills for anything not normally found in office supply stores, or even specialty stores. At least in my experience.The lead I purchased hear does exactly what I wanted and needed it to do. As stated before, I dont notice a difference from the other brands, but for what they are, that is not an issue for me as long as they work.As far as value goes, its kind of hard to quantify what is good here. If you crushed up the lead and compared the amount to what goes into a typical number two pencil, you get less. But, for roughly six bucks for what these are, they dont cost much more than what you do find in retail stores.I didnt find any broken pieces, and so far, everything seems to fit in the mechanical pencils this lead was designed for. Ultimately a good buy in my humble opinion!

I've been using some other 0.3 lead, all I can say is that this stuff doesn't break as soon as you start using it.

Los compre a un precio super rebajado y excelente marca, si los ponen otravez al precio que las compre sin ningúna duda
