Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

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

Pros

I'm a stickler for pencil lead and these are the best. I have no problems with breaking or smudging. It is also at very reasonable price for 3 packets of lead.

Great price, good product. Great durability and did not regret buying this product. This meets all of my criteria, and the pack lasts me a long time.

Hb (blue container) is the hardest and lightest. Orange, the one i have, is 2b. What’s different is their degree of hardness, although the difference is minimal. H' lead is hard to find in office supply stores.

This lead is very smooth for writing and sketching, but does not crack or crumble as other version have. The lead writes smooth and dark, but erases fairly easily and cleanly with a good eraser.

Price

Maybe i hit the amazon lotto today because this lead normally retails for about $15 per 40 leads.

It is also at very reasonable price for 3 packets of lead.

If the price is not an issue, definitely get these leads.

Shipping

It took some time to get all the way to japan, but it was totally worth it.

Packaging/appearance

The package came with 3 units, each with 40 graphites.

Competitiveness

The quality of these leads seems better than other brands.

I ordered this product looking forward to giving it a try as it and the more expensive ain leads were both highly recommended by a friend.

Breaks a bit easy but still haven't found anything better than this brand.

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