FABER-CASTELL Super-Polymer Mechanical Pencil Leads 0.5 mm HB (Pack of 24)

Writing or sketching with a mechanical pencil often means dealing with leads that snap under pressure or produce faint, inconsistent lines. FABER-CASTELL Super-Polymer leads solve this by combining high-strength polymer bonding with a smooth graphite core, delivering a dark, smudge-resistant mark that erases cleanly. Each tube contains 24 HB leads, ideal for everyday writing, technical drawing, and detailed sketching.
