Pentel Ain Stein 0.5Mm Mechanical Pencil Lead | Lead of Grade 4B | Smooth & Not Scratchy | Easy to Insert Inside The Pencil | Pack of 40 Pcs (C275-4B), Black

The lead is sturdy and smooth. Pentel HB lead is lighter than local HB lead, so you might want a darker grade, but for me this is the best.

They are so strong and so smooth and dark

The media could not be loaded. Some leads are broken but good quality

I bought it for my son. Though he is just 6+ years old, I’ve taught him to use mechanical pencil and fountain pen to write, and he also uses them happily. This is something I did to make sure that he doesn’t apply extra pressure while writing (a problem small kids have as you know if you have small kids at home). I have him this 4B and he is very happy since he can write faster with no pressure applied. His handwriting is also looking excellent. Though it seems to be costly but the price is established by premium quality and premium packaging. If I were rich I would have bought one mechanical pencil for me just to use this lead😀. Overall I’m so happy to find this product that I thought to write this review.

4B is Perfect for mono graph mechanical pencil

Perfect

Nice deep black as 4B should. Ya, the lead is unstanchably very soft, you will need to click your feeder in every 5-6 words, it's that soft. If you want to use it as your daily writer I wouldn't recommend it, but for drawing, highlight works it fine. The product quality is good, but the price is considerably high as it is a Japanese product.

Good quality
