Pentel Super Hi-Polymer Lead Refill 0.5mm Fine, 2B, 36 Pieces of Lead (C505BP32B-K6), Gray, 3 pack

Love this lead. It feels just as sturdy as regular HB lead but is a bit darker, which I love. I thought it was smudge a bit more but it doesn’t any more than HB does! Really happy with this lead!

Love the Pentel quality erasers! Completely removes Pentel pencil lead mistakes and do not abrade paper surface.

This is my favorite pencil carbon brand since I was a kid and I am glad their business is still on the market. It is easy to write and not easily broken.

I've tried some other, slightly cheaper, brands of pencil lead, only to be disappointed at how easily they broke or how hard they were to write with. These, however, I am very satisfied with. They're as soft and dark as I'd expect from 2B leads while hardly ever breaking.

lol I give up on this order. 1st order the envelop wasn't even sealed and nothing inside. Filed a missing order complaint and was sent another one. This envelop came sealed thankfully. Opened the actual package only to see I was sent B lead refills. Thinking they pulled the wrong one at the warehouse until I see it's listed as 2B on the packaging. Could be B lead put in the wrong package, could be 2B lead put in the wrong holders. No clue. Such a small difference in lead hardness I'm not even going to bother returning it.

I was told to get zero .05 leads to replace the lids in my cross tech three That has black ink, red ink, and a mechanical pencil. It was too big and it would not go in. This .03 lead fits perfectly. It makes a fine dark line. It does break easily if you make it too long. But I remembering to keep it short. It also has erased nicely for me.

I wanted something darker than HB so I thought I'd try these. I was afraid they would be too soft and would break easily, but I was wrong! They hold up very well and produce a reasonably dark mark. I should note, however, that I just bought some Pentel 4B to compare and will see which I like better. Either way, I think the Pentel Super Hi-Polymer leads are very good and this is a brand that I will stick with.

I like the larger lead-sized mechanical pencils. These are perfect for note-making and other daily needs. I use them in short mechanical pencils. They can also be used for simple diagrams and sketches... Or even on the golf course. I have had good performance from these leads.
