With smooth, rich strokes and precise fine points, these 40 leads are engineered for professionals who demand reliability and performance in drafting, sketching, and writing. Backed by a 2-year manufacturer guarantee and crafted in Japan, they combine ergonomic design with premium quality to elevate your everyday writing experience. ## Description What makes this pencil lead so special? A manufacturing process developed by Pentel gives the fine leads increased elasticity, but at the same time a compact and firm structure, similar to a honeycomb. Thanks to this technology, a uniquely high load limit is achieved. Therefore, the Ain Stein fine leads are particularly shatterproof. Of course, soft abrasion and a rich stroke complete the high-quality properties. ## Features - Durable Lead - Silica Framed Lead - from Pentel - Model number: C275-HB ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Age Range Description | Adult | | Artistic Charcoal Form | Compressed Charcoal | | Asin | B004NNPWCG | | Best Sellers Rank | 3,074 in Stationery & Office Supplies (See Top 100 in Stationery & Office Supplies) 4 in Mechanical Pencil Leads | | Body Shape | Round | | Brand Name | Pentel | | Closure Type | Cap. | | Colour | graphitegray | | Country Of Origin | Japan | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (3,547) 4.7 out of 5 stars | | Drill Point | Fine | | Global Trade Identification Number | 04902506269249 | | Grip Type | Happy | | Hardness | HB | | Included Components | Blei | | Ink Base | Water | | Ink Colour | Gray | | Is The Product Left Or Right Handed | Left | | Item Diameter | 0.5 Millimetres | | Item Dimensions | 20 x 10 x 80 millimetres | | Item Type Name | Pentel C275 refills Ain Stein 1 case with 40 leads 0.5 mm HB | | Item Weight | 0.01 Kilograms | | Line Size | 0.5mm | | Manufacturer | Pentel Bürobedarf-Handelsges. mbH | | Material Type | Estaño | | Model Name | MINE STEIN 05 HB | | Model Number | C275-HB | | Product Warranty | 2 Year Manufacturer Guarantee | | Recommended Uses For Product | Drafting, Sketching, Writing | | Special Features | Ergonomic, Lightweight, Non Toxic, Pocket Clip | | Style | Minas HB | | Unit Count | 40.0 count | | Upc | 605279131785 | | Water Resistance Level | Not Water Resistant | | Writing Instrument Form | Mechanical Graphite Pencil | | Writing Technique | pencil lead | ## Product Details - **Age range (description):** Adult - **Brand:** Pentel - **Colour:** graphitegray - **Ink colour:** Gray - **Material:** Estaño - **Model name:** MINE STEIN 05 HB - **Point type:** Fine - **Special feature:** Ergonomic, Lightweight, Non Toxic, Pocket Clip - **Unit count:** 40.0 count - **Writing instrument form:** Mechanical Graphite Pencil ## Images ![Pentel Ain Stein Mechanical Pencil Lead, 0.5mm HB, 40 Leads (C275-HB) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/718UmDUMYGL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: How many leads are included?** A: The number of leads per tube varies depending on lead size and is currently 0.2mm = 10, 0.3mm = 15, 0.5mm = 40, 0.7mm = 40, 0.9mm = 36. I have also seen special tubes (sometimes bundled with pencils) which have fewer leads in them. In Asia 0.5mm is sometimes sold in tubes of 12. And be on the lookout for "clones" which copy the coloured tube design but where the leads are not made by Pentel. **Q: Is this lead compatable with the zebra delguard type er?** A: I haven't personally used them in a Zebra delguard pencil, but if it is 0.5 it should fit. I have seen them advertised with the Zebra. I have used these refills with other mechanical pencils and they have been ok. **Q: Will these leads also fit a Parker Vector pencil?** A: As long as your pencil takes 0.5 mm leads, these should fit. **Q: Are they coloured leads as showed in picture or just ordinary leads?** A: They are ordinary graphite leads. The colour of of the case is not indicative of lead colour. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing Quality lead, no need for anything else *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 19 April 2017* I bought 2 packs of these leads to go with my new mechanical pencil as I needed some replacements.I was not disappointed with the quality and durability of this brand. Having never bought this type of thing before, and only using disposable pencils I was very pleased to find that this lead was just as tough and durable as the nano diamond lead that came with my pencil.They are also just as comfortable to write with, the lead is smooth to the touch of paper and flows brilliantly, an absolute pleasure.Not only that but you get so many (40 leads) at such an amazing price. The stylish blue container they come in is very tough and keeps the lead safe inside, and the mechanism in the twist cap to open is brilliant for controlling how many leads you wish to remove from the container at any one time.They arrived very quickly and in a well padded, thick envelope. Very pleased with this purchase and I would highly recommend this product, I'll certainly be buying more when I eventually run out.Pros:- Very durable- High quantity- Smooth flowing- Stylish and durable container (reminds me of an old ipod)- Amazingly cheap- Well packaged- Quick deliveryCons:- None so far, very pleased. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good leads *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 2 October 2025* What can I say?
