How to use

Insert a 2.0 mm red lead into any compatible mechanical pencil or clutch pencil designed for 2 mm leads. Advance the lead carefully while writing or drawing to avoid excessive pressure; replace leads when they become too short or worn. For best results, store the leads in their box to protect them from breakage and moisture.

Recommendations

Use light, even strokes for finer lines and reduce pressure to avoid snapping the 2 mm lead. For detailed work, trim or sharpen the lead point with a suitable lead pointer made for 2 mm leads before use.
