5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful!
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...

3.0 out of 5 stars Does not replace a color pencil, breaks to easily.
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.

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.

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.

The idea is nice but the lead doesn't write dark enough nor does it erase easily.
