This pencil lead traditionally comes in black and is durable enough for frequent use.
0.5mm Pencil Lead Refills
A 0.5 mm pencil lead size is great for everyday writing or drawing. This size mechanical pencil lead is great for fine lines and effortless writing. Each pack contains about 90 lead pieces and writes smoothly on all common paper surfaces. The 0.5mm size is considered to be a medium-hard lead. Quill sells some 0.5mm lead refills that are available in red as well.
0.7mm Pencil Lead Refills
One of the most popular sizes of pencil lead is the 0.7mm, which writes smoothly and is dark in color, typically featured in a black color lead. This size is good for heavy-handed writers. This is a little bit stronger than the smaller mechanical pencil lead sizes. It’s more reliable and less prone to breaking. You’re also more likely to avoid smudges with this option. It’s available in different pack size options, and there are also options that are made 100% out of recycled materials.
0.9mm Pencil Lead Refills
