5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful!, February 18, 2009

This review is from: Pentel Colored Lead Refills red 0.5 mm (Kitchen)

The lead DOES erase well if you use fine quality paper. It does not erase well on cheap paper. I suggest if you are using these to sketch you use Moleskine Sketchbooks which use a heavier paper than most brands.

I use this color a lot and I mean A LOT when I sketch. It is helpful when I am laying down a foundation for character work in my sketchbook. Now that I own it I can't see myself not using it. I can't believe more brands aren't mimicking this color lead thing. :)

I was able to find blue Pentell lead on another site, I wish Amazon carried it.

Lead breaks very easily when you use it for underlying, highlighting or marking text and drawings.If you want to replace a regular color pencil, I would recommend a thicker (0.9 mm) lead refill for that purpose.

2.0 out of 5 stars Red Lead Refill - Too Soft, September 3, 2010

This lead is very soft. If you push out more than a millimeter, it breaks. I find I cannot use this lead without feeling the metal of the pencil scraping the paper. If you advance it any further, the lead breaks.

Very disappointing product.
