Cons

Not up to me to keep reordering until it's right. The lead as furnished is 600% more costly than expected and advertised.

Pentel lead is mis-packaged. Received 12 pieces of lead in one tube instead of a box.

5-mm mechanical pencils, a p205 and a graphgear 500, but i wanted to see if a 4b lead would be more like the dark as ink as i wanted.
