Pilot Color Eno Neox Mechanical Pencil Lead - 0.7 mm - Yellow

EXCELLENT!! I've been looking for a lead like this for years. It's non-photo blue, erases easily without leaving a residue, and is covered by both copic multiliner ink and india ink without beading or adhesion issues. The 0.7mm size doesn't break easily. If you want a non-photo blue pencil you don't have to sharpen, pop this in a 0.7mm pencil and go to town.

this container holds 10 pieces. not too hard but not too soft either. very easy to work work with.

These are my favorite brand of colored leads for mechanical pencils (not that there's a whole lot to choose from!) I like them slightly better then the Uniball leads, although those are really high quality as well. These erase slightly better than the Uniball ones. The lead is really soft, so the only downside is you go through them really fast. But I prefer softer leads anyway so I'm used to it and it's not a big deal, they're well worth it!

I have used Eno leads for years but this last order of yellow were horrible. I ordered 6 packs of them, and all of them were the same. The lead was brittle, hard, and you almost had to scratch the paper in order to leave any color on the page. Mechanical colored pencils are a brilliant idea, but this is just a poor product. I ordered some blue and violet at the same time with no issues - nice and soft with good color coverage. But avoid these yellow leads. My previous Eno yellow leads were wonderful so I am wondering if this is a changed formulation at the factory? Or?

It's got a nice light color and is very easy to erase, and is very fun to sketch with. I wish this brand did .5 mm color lead too.
