Pencil lead
It’s pencil lead. .7 HB #2 pencil lead, exactly as described. Works well, like normal good quality pencil lead, also is a lot of lead!

Takes forever to run out of lead.
Never have to sharpen another pencil. These leads seem to last for a very long time. I keep these in the car, the garage and next to my computer to quickly take notes, etc. Excellent product.

Good Lead, Wasteful Packaging
This is nice lead; it glides smoothly and marks well, and doesn’t break easily. >> The only Con is the shameful waste of plastic for marketing purposes. All 90 pieces of lead fit easily into one container with enough room left for a couple more containers. Why not put all 90 pieces in one container and save the landfill? It’s obviously done for marketing purposes, but it’s pretty blatant with this lead. >> Overall it’s good lead for a good price, but I’d rather pay the same price for a single 90 piece tube.

Reliable, Smooth, and Long-Lasting Lead Refills
I picked up this 3-pack of Pentel Super Hi-Polymer 0.7 mm HB leads, and they’ve quickly become my go-to. The writing experience is consistently smooth, with crisp medium lines that don’t smear or fade. I use them during college lectures and sketching—they stay strong even when I press hard, and they rarely break. They’re also great for standardized tests—HB darkness means they scan perfectly every time. Plus, the eco-friendly recycled plastic tubes are convenient and tidy. Pros: • Very durable—resists breakage even under heavy use () • Produces clean, dark lines that write and erase smoothly () • Perfect darkness for tests and everyday writing  • Good value and packaging: 90 leads in compact tubes; ideal for backpacks Cons: • Slightly pricier than generic brands, though quality justifies the cost ⸻ Bottom line: For students, artists, or anyone writing a lot by hand, these Pentel Super Hi-Polymer leads are a dependable choice—smooth, strong, and test-friendly, with minimal breaks and maximum clarity.

Consistently delivers a great writing experience
The lead is surprisingly durable, resisting breaks even when I'm pressing hard to take notes. This is a huge plus, as there's nothing more frustrating than a lead that constantly snaps. In terms of writing quality, the lines are consistently crisp and dark, making them easy to read. The feel is very smooth, gliding across the page without any scratchiness, which is great for long writing sessions. The softness in this standard HB is perfect for everyday use. It's dark enough to be bold without being prone to smudging. The lead fits perfectly into any standard 0.5mm mechanical pencil without issue, making for an easy to use refill process. If you're looking for a reliable, no-frills lead that performs exceptionally well, this is the one to get.
