(Part 2) Reddit mentions: The best mechanical pencil refills

Uni NanoDia is honestly the best lead I've used. 0.7mm here. It sounds kinda gimmicky, but I almost never break it and it writes really nicely. That being said, a lot of the reason for lead breakage is bending within your pencil as you write, so the build quality of your pencil contributes quite a bit to lead breakage.

Unless you draw for a living/study, Pentel sells effectively a lifetime supply in bulk packaging of 12 hard plastic tubes, 30 leads each. The tubes are made out of recycled plastic, and are usefully larger than the retail-size tubes. They’re great for holding small electronics parts, small screws (like for eyeglasses), nano SIM cards (if you travel), the super-small neodymium magnets that are too easy to lose if I leave the unused one laying around, and so on.

Here's the red graphite for a mechanical pencil.

This link leads to an amazon search for red mechanical pencils.

I think I understood this right? Hope it helps!

Whatever I use, I end up going back to Pentel Super Hi Polymer in HB.

This is a decent sale on a rOtring Rapid Pro .5mm mentioned in the sibling post. I want to make sure you see it. ($13.99, the price is not showing up right unless I post this entire link, don't buy it for $31 imo)

Mine arrived yesterday and I'm using it for math right now with some 2B Neox lead.

Probably something like this: 2mm really think lead refills.

There's a huge sale for .3 lead right now.

Your life is complete shit, Maya. Just accept it.

Amazon shows tons of them. https://www.amazon.com/MyLifeUNIT-Pencil-Refill-Compass-Mechanical/dp/B01BTKI4AW

This popped up in an Amazon search...

normal lead is usually grey and it has nothing to do with the mechanical pencil you are using. You need to buy black colored lead if you want a deep black. I found this on Amazon in about 5 seconds

...Don't forget to load it up with some buttery smooth and dark 2B lead.

OP, you can probably use a 0.5 mm if you use 4B+ lead with it. Here is a link to the lead. 4B is much darker than the standard lead you get, as can be seen here.

Psh, Plebian. I only use .5mm Diamond-fused lead in my mechanical pencils.

Koh 5.6mm lead

Was looking at this. Has the option for blue.

So... it's full of graphite?

Use this lead:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00FB51OJA/

That link is for .7mm lead, they also have .5mm, and even .3mm.

I've never had it break during normal (or even abnormal) use, it doesn't leave your fingers dirty, and lasts a long time.
