Pencil set Centrum CE80748 — graphite pencils assortment: 3H, 2H, 2×HB, 2B, 3B

Centrum CE80748 is a compact set of graphite pencils that covers a practical range of lead hardness: 3H, 2H, two HB, 2B and 3B. The assortment is intended for writing, sketching and technical drawing, offering harder leads for fine, precise lines and softer leads for smooth shading and tonal variation. Packaged for school, office and hobby use, this pencil set supports a variety of drawing and drafting tasks while remaining easy to store and carry.

Advantages

The selection of hardness grades in this set provides flexibility for different tasks: harder pencils (3H, 2H) maintain sharp points longer for detailed work, while softer pencils (2B, 3B) produce darker, more blendable strokes. Including two HB pencils makes the set suitable for general writing and everyday sketching. The uniform wooden casing and consistent lead quality ensure predictable line weight and comfortable handling for extended use.

How to use

Select the pencil grade appropriate for the task: choose 3H or 2H for fine, precise lines and technical sketches; use HB for general writing and basic sketching; and select 2B or 3B for darker strokes, shading and blending. Sharpen the pencil to a crisp point for detailed work or to a blunter edge for softer, broader marks. Replace or resharpen as needed to maintain consistent line quality.

Usage recommendations

Store pencils in a dry place away from extreme temperatures; use a quality sharpener to reduce lead breakage. For drawing, combine harder and softer grades to achieve a full tonal range and clear contrast between fine lines and shaded areas.
