PERFECT Width Weight Quantity & Quality!

If a person actually could survive by sustaining a premium quality mechanical lead addiction without poisoning oneself, then I'd be that one sole person overcome as a co-dependent Pentel SUPER Hi-Polymer 0.5mm HB Lead FIEND!!

This is the only lead I use, ever since I discovered it on sale at my neighborhood STAPLES! I also found that this miracle lead is the perfect partner to the BIC Reaction #2 0.5mm Mechanical Pencil (with cushioned grip).

I write very heavy-handed and with a lot of pressure, so much so that with lighter lead weights and without cushioning, I would always cause other leads to break very easily while quickly developing a throbbing ache and pain in my fingers, wrist and elbow.

But Pentel SUPER Hi-Polymer 0.5mm HB is the IDEAL lead width and weight to help support my comfort during extended periods of writing or drawing. I can (and often do!) write or draw for hours on end with this lead in my mechanical pencils!!

And, I love it! Absolutely, LOVE IT!! So much so that I've even included two drawings (below) that I rendered each in separate three-hour sketching sessions using only five pieces of this lead total with a BIC Reaction #2 0.5mm Mechanical Pencil. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! The lead & the pencils!

Such fine detail! Simple, perfectly weighted thin and thick lines, both in one or two easy strokes!

After a few light brushes with a good quality non-latex Pentel Hi-Polymer Eraser, this lead all but disappears from the page, with ease and comfort!

Even for heavy-handed, multi-stroke sketching like mine, the lead can be delicately brushed off the page with a few swipes of a premium eraser... That's TOP NOTCH!!

I missed the trend in high school or college when all my classmates transitioned to note-taking in pen, rather than pencil. I did switch from wooden to mechanical pencils at about that time, but never to ink pen.

I like being able to have the option of erasing my mistakes, not scratching them out with messy inked-up chicken-scratch. I like light, clean, straight, soft lines, and that's what this lead delivers!

PERFECT for the romantic Lead Lover in all of us!!

I would buy this product again

This product is for my children to use in school and they find them very easy to use and write nicely.

Comments about Pentel Super Hi-Polymer® Lead Refills, 0.5mm, HB, 90 Leads:

Package is not earth friendly - lots of room and little lead in it - better to fill up the lead package than have 3 containers for the same amount of lead.
They do smudge - other companies do also - was a good price so I bought them

Comments about Pentel Super Hi-Polymer® Lead Refills, 0.5mm, HB, 90 Leads:

Refills for mechanical pencils are not a "flashy" item so tend to get ignored until you run out of them, so it is great to have a supply of them on hand.
