Pack includes 40 leads. High-quality pencil lead from Pentel Japan that is strong, writes smooth, and comes in a variety of sizes and pencil lead hardness.

Pencil Lead Hardness (from Wikipedia)

Pencil lead is graded by hardness: a greater percentage of clay results in a harder lead. H (harder), F, HB and B (softer) are pencils of average hardness. Pencils ranging from 2B to 9B are softer still and are used for sketching; 2H to 9H are harder than average. A common American #2 pencil is equivalent to HB.

In order, the leads are (from hardest to softest) 9H | 8H | 7H | 6H | 5H | 4H | 3H | 2H | H | F | HB | B | 2B | 3B | 4B | 5B | 6B | 7B | 8B | 9B.

The harder the pencil the lighter the mark, e.g. Bs tend to a create darker colour that can be smeared easily.

  I have finally found..., June 2, 2009
By smithl325749 - See all my reviews
I have finally found .5 lead that doesn't break with the slightest pressure. I like the finer lead but have found it nearly impossible to use due to breakage. I am not a heavy writer and therefore I always found it irritating that my leads would break so easily. Once my leads arrived from Jetpens, I immediately loaded them into my Lamy Spirit and put the pressure on and was pleased that I literally had to make a conscious effort to break them. Good product, my recommendation to the heavy handers and the not so heavy handers.

  Best lead I've ever used,..., September 14, 2010
By email.jiancheng - See all my reviews
This review is from Pentel Hi-Polymer Ain Pencil Lead - 0.5 mm - 2B
Best lead I've ever used, almost no breakage, and super smooth dark lines that erases very clean, unless I write with extreme pressure.. and even then the lead does not break!

everyone that I give a piece to when they ask, said its an extremely noticeable difference to their original lead. much smoother and darker (coming from regular 2B users)

This is what i will always get, i got the 2b for 0.7 as well and b for 0.3 since 0.3 evaporates if its any softer.

don't think about it, its the best out there!
