5.0 out of 5 stars Nice Leads, diagonal lid not so nice, January 19, 2011

These are the only leads I buy if I can get them. They are firm and don't smear as much as other leads. Very handy for drawing and detail work. If I remember there are also softer B leads available in smaller packs. Those are also useful, but I don't use them as much. I have to agree with Oops, I prefer them sold in one container. Would save plastic and resources. I'm also not crazy about the new container design with the angled lids.

The 5 star rating here goes to the leads, but if I were to consider the container with the rating, I'd have to take off two stars. I prefer the old lids. They seemed more secure. The new lids with the diagonal opening can slide off too easy if carried in a bag or purse. It was upsetting to find a bunch of these all broken up in my bag because the lid slid partially off.

The containers here pictured seem to be of the old style. I'm not sure what kind is offered if you order, but I will note there are at least a couple container designs for this product. If you get the angled lid design, you may want to be careful how you carry it around.

Lead is lead, right? NO! This is Pentel lead, baby. The creme-de-la-cream (or some french phrase) of lead. And along with Pentel's awesome mechanical pencils, you can't go wrong. I haven't, at least. The type of lead I'm reviewing right now is the most common type, although Pentel makes all sorts of hardness' of lead (also blue and red leads, which I haven't tried). You also get a ton of lead for the price on here. I've read some comments on this site-for the same product-from other sellers of the lead. Many have complained that they should only be selling one container with all the lead inside. I say phooey to that. I keep one in my bag, one in my desk at work, and other at my desk at home. That's three places for three containers, so it works out perfectly for me. Great product. Highly recommended.

The product came exactly as expected and uses minimal packaging, which is a good thing. Good price, no complaints. Separate lead holders makes it easy for me to carry one in my bag, one at home, and one at the office.
