June Gold 0.5 mm, 640 Lead Refills, 4B, 4 Dispensers/w 160 Pieces Each | Fine Thickness, Break Resistant Graphite, Elegant Dispensing Mechanism

Great lead so far. I ordered the June Gold 0.9mm 4B lead refills to pair with my Pentel GraphGear 1000 mechanical pencil, to use for the illustration class I’m taking. I have no complaints so far. The lead is durable, it has a nice, creamy-smooth lay down of pigment and it works perfectly for shading. You don’t have to apply much pressure to get a nice, rich, dark lay-down. You can achieve a wide variety of shades by varying application pressure. Definitely capable of laying down some dark, crisp lines as well, even in the large 0.9mm diameter. It smudges fairly easily, but that is to be expected with any soft graphite. It’s also very easy to remove pieces of lead from the container, contrary to what some reviews here say. I will be purchasing more from this brand in the 0.3mm, 0.5mm and 0.7mm sizes to pair with my other 3 GraphGear pencils.

These lead refills are great, I find they don't snap easily and fit well in my pencil holders (I use Pentel pencils). The lead color is dark, which makes for great contrast when writing or drawing. I can read my notes without a problem. There is also a good range of sizes and grades of lead from this brand, all reasonably priced. I'm still working through my second refill so these should last you a very long time.The lead's container is also pretty sturdy, I feel comfortable throwing it in my bags without much fuss because it won't break or open up by accident. So that's another reason to get these, if you write or draw a lot on the go.

These leads are very dark and work well in my 0.9mm Pentel. I have more than I will use in a lifetime but I prefer the dark leads. No breakage so far. Smooth drawing and writing. The nice dispensers help keep everything organized and straight.

These are good quality leads. The size is perfect. They feed well and don't slip. They leave a good dark line that makes letters and designs visible. They are smooth to write with and don't crumble like some other leads. Good value for the price.

I am very happy this purchas. I didn't buy these to draw or sketch. I write with them, so I cannot comment on the quality from an artists post. I like using pencils and fine point is my favorite. These 4;B are dark and non have broken with me yet(its very new less than a week and little use thus far). I bought 2B and they were softer than this so I am happy. I have Pilot leads and I would compare these to those ans say they are about the same. I will update if any difference is noticed.

Good darker lead.

I'm almost 70, and I've been using mechanical pencils for 50+ years thus far. I've used HB lead and 2B lead, but this "June Gold 4B lead" is just fantastic! I'm running it in 0.9mm diam., and it just glides across paper with no scratchiness whatsoever. It's buttery smooth, and dark for great contrast. Simply put, this stuff is the best that I've ever used!

June Gold as a whole seems to be a pretty economical way to get refills across most of the standard sizes. Only seem to be missing 1.3mm and 3.0mm, but those are decidedly less common.

Great leads very easy flowing no pressure needed

4Bの濃さが得られませんでした。書き心地も今ひとつです。

正直、他社の２Bとの違いはあまり実感できませんでした。

Very dark and smoother than 2b leadGood quality I recommend it
