Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons
The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

B lead makes a dark, low-smudge, errasible line that works with all scantrons. These reloads seem more robust and break less frequently. They are a lot softer, but darker than hb leads.

I use a kuru toga pencil so it automatically rotates preventing one side from becoming too blunt. I have to push too hard with the hb which often breaks it, but this just glides on the surface.



Cons

If amazon deletes the wikipedia link and replaces it with [. Hb], the box is empty.

Quality


The leads are good quality - do not break easily and produce a thick consistent kine.


They have established a reputation for quality products, and this lead doesn’t disappoint!


The eraser is small but refills are cheap and they don’t abrade the paper.


5 lead writes and doesn’t smudge like the 0.

Price


This product is very inexpensive and you get a good amount of lead for what you pay for.


The price was fair so i ordered them.

Shipping


It arrived on time perfectly sealed and without any damage.

Packaging/appearance


Opened the actual package only to see i was sent b lead refills.


1st order the envelop wasn't even sealed and nothing inside.


Thinking they pulled the wrong one at the warehouse until i see it's listed as 2b on the packaging.


Tends to break easier and the packaging isnt amazing but overall i liked it

Competitiveness


The hi-polymer lead that pentel offers is the best, you should try it out!


So i no longer purchase any othwr brand.


I should note, however, that i just bought some pentel 4b to compare and will see which i like better.


Now that i have 2b lead from a few different companies, i’ll be able to compare their quality.

    I bought these for my mechanical 0


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    These arent meant for every day writing unless you know how these 2b leads are


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    They are a lot softer but darker than hb leads


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    They wear down much quickly too


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    So be mindful when using them with a pencil that you have to manually advance otherwise youre going to end up with blunt sides on the paper side


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    There’s a reason pentel is the “goto” for pencils and lead
