Pros & Cons
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.
Highlights
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.

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

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