No name GRAFIT mechanical pencil lead refills, 0.5 mm diameter with 2B hardness, provide a softer, darker graphite line suited to sketching, drawing and everyday writing. Designed for use with 0.5 mm clutch and mechanical pencils, these refills are compatible with standard 0.5 mm lead holders and offer smooth laydown and consistent tonal quality across strokes. The neutral formulation balances break resistance with a tactile, expressive feel for shading and note-taking.

Lightweight and easy to replace, the refills are suitable for extended writing and drawing sessions without frequent interruptions.

Suitable for

• Sketching and shading in pencil drawings

How to use

Insert a refill into a compatible 0.5 mm mechanical or clutch pencil according to the pencil manufacturer's instructions. Advance the lead gradually while writing or drawing to avoid sudden breakage.

Usage recommendations

Store refills in a dry place at room temperature and transport them in their original container or a protective case to prevent breakage. When using in fine mechanisms, advance the lead in small increments and avoid excessive side pressure to extend both the lead and pencil lifespan.
