Not HB but 4H

I can't tell if these rods are really HB and hardened with age. I guess they don't make them anymore. I just used my last HB stick from my 20 year old inventory and it was soft and dark to the end. This turquoise HB substitute graphite is more like 4H solid lead. Often tears and cuts holes in paper.

Pros
  • 2mm rods make accurate marks
Cons
  • Dear

Incorrect lead hardness in the packaging.

I don't know if it's Revains or the manufacturer, but twice in a row I've gotten 2H or 4H weights in a container. It is labeled HB (which is what I ordered) but the lead on the inside is significantly harder than HB. This is compared to the same quality and hardness of lead I currently have. So the packaging says the wrong stiffness. This is incredibly frustrating as I have a deadline for a project I'm working on and need to use alternative drawing tools.

Pros
  • Engineered for sleek styling
Cons
  • Piggy bank top price

The 'New' Pencil Lead

Originally used for drawing applications, this lead is now used in custom pencil/pen sets. These new pencils have a lead feed mechanism like the current 0.5mm/0.7mm/0.9mm pencils available at any office supply store, but with a much larger 2mm lead. There is a lead indicator on the lid, similar to drawing. The advantage of this leash is that it is very strong and not easy to break; but it can be stated as sharply as you like. By choosing the right hardness, you can write for a long time before…

Pros
  • Strong and durable leads to prevent cracking
Cons
  • Legacy Model
