Pros & Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

This lead provides a nice dark line with minimal effort unlike the 'hb' and 'h' lead found today in brick and mortar stores. This is the only lead i use for my pentel kerry (which i also highly recommend) it is also at very reasonable price for 3 pack... Read More

Good quality, they write well without smudging, and resist breaking. Great durability and did not regret buying this product. I like the case the refills come in and it works well.

B is the softest, smoothest, and darkest out of the 3 leads. Hb is the hardest and lightest.

Cons

It's gray graphite and not at all red or colored lead. It's not advertised at all appropriately, but that’s my fault for not reading the other reviews.

In my rather unqualified opinion these are reasonably priced and a good choice for a generalpurpose mechanical pencil lead

Item is as it is listed three packs of ain stein hb lead

Competitiveness

The quality of these leads seems better than other brands

Smears less than pentels hipoly lead in 2b imo

Might buy again for the case probably could get better moneys worth from a different brand

The design of the case is pretty cool although when using the lead i found it would frequently break off easily as compared to ... Read More
