We do this in an environmentally friendly and sustainable way. Under the brand "Recycology" products are manufactured with a high percentage of recycled materials. Our range extends from classic and trendy writing instruments to markers to hobby art supplies. 70 years of innovation have set new standards. So a large part of the writing instrument developments used today come from Pentel's own research. Pentel C275 Ain Stein Fine Leads Assortment The strongest pencil lead in the world What makes this pencil lead so special? A manufacturing process developed by Pentel gives the fine leads increased elasticity, but at the same time a compact and firm structure, similar to a honeycomb. Thanks to this technology, a uniquely high load limit is achieved. Therefore, the Ain Stein fine leads are particularly shatterproof. Of course, soft abrasion and a rich stroke complete the high-quality properties. Extremely shatterproof Rich stroke, without scratching 40 fine leads per tin Available in seven degrees of hardness Pentel C275 Ain Stein fine leads Pentel C275 Ain Stein leads are suitable for all standard mechanical pencils with a line width of 0.5 mm and are available in seven different degrees of hardness. Each hardness has a different tin colour, so they can be easily separated. The Pentel C275 Ain Stein leads are supplied in a specially designed lead box. Each tin contains 40 fine leads. A storage pack that lasts a very long time and is even cheaper and more environmentally friendly compared to standard 12 pieces of packaging. The lid slides aside for removal and is therefore not lost. Pentel develops and produces environmentally friendly writing instruments, making an important contribution to a clean environment. Each Pentel Recycology product is made from at least 50% recycled material (based on the total weight, without consumables). The Ain Stein pencil tins even have a percentage of 92% recycled material. Review: Amazing Quality lead, no need for anything else - I bought 2 packs of these leads to go with my new mechanical pencil as I needed some replacements. I was not disappointed with the quality and durability of this brand. Having never bought this type of thing before, and only using disposable pencils I was very pleased to find that this lead was just as tough and durable as the nano diamond lead that came with my pencil. They are also just as comfortable to write with, the lead is smooth to the touch of paper and flows brilliantly, an absolute pleasure. Not only that but you get so many (40 leads) at such an amazing price. The stylish blue container they come in is very tough and keeps the lead safe inside, and the mechanism in the twist cap to open is brilliant for controlling how many leads you wish to remove from the container at any one time. They arrived very quickly and in a well padded, thick envelope. Very pleased with this purchase and I would highly recommend this product, I'll certainly be buying more when I eventually run out. Pros: - Very durable - High quantity - Smooth flowing - Stylish and durable container (reminds me of an old ipod) - Amazingly cheap - Well packaged - Quick delivery Cons: - None so far, very pleased.

I have also seen special tubes (sometimes bundled with pencils) which have fewer leads in them. In Asia 0.5mm is sometimes sold in tubes of 12. And be on the lookout for "clones" which copy the coloured tube design but where the leads are not made by Pentel. **Q: Is this lead compatable with the zebra delguard type er?** A: I haven't personally used them in a Zebra delguard pencil, but if it is 0.5 it should fit. I have seen them advertised with the Zebra. I have used these refills with other mechanical pencils and they have been ok. **Q: Will these leads also fit a Parker Vector pencil?** A: As long as your pencil takes 0.5 mm leads, these should fit. **Q: Are they coloured leads as showed in picture or just ordinary leads?** A: They are ordinary graphite leads. The colour of of the case is not indicative of lead colour. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing Quality lead, no need for anything else *by K***C on 19 April 2017* I bought 2 packs of these leads to go with my new mechanical pencil as I needed some replacements.
