{"product_id":"pentel-ain-mechanical-pencil-leads-0-4-mm","title":"Pentel Ain Mechanical Pencil Leads, HB – 0.4 mm","description":"\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe Pentel Ain is the lead that serious mechanical pencil users tend to land on and stay with. The Super Hi-Polymer formula balances six attributes that normally trade off against each other — smoothness, darkness, break resistance, smudge resistance, erasability, and longevity — without meaningfully compromising any of them. The result is a lead that writes darker and more smoothly than most leads at the same grade, holds up under firm pressure, and erases cleanly without ghosting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe 0.4 mm diameter sits in a useful middle ground — finer than the widely available 0.5 mm for more precise, detailed work, while being noticeably more forgiving on breakage than the 0.3 mm. It is the natural refill choice for the Pentel GraphGear 1000 and GraphGear 500 in 0.4 mm, as well as any other mechanical pencil in that diameter. The leads come in Pentel's distinctive slide-to-open case — pull the front panel down with the thumb and swing it out to access the leads, which protrude slightly from the top for easy single-lead retrieval. Each tube contains 30 leads at 60 mm length. Available in HB and 2B.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eFeatures\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"[li_\u0026amp;]:mb-0 [li_\u0026amp;]:mt-1 [li_\u0026amp;]:gap-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eSuper Hi-Polymer formula — balanced smoothness, darkness, break resistance, and erasability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e0.4 mm diameter — precise and fine without the fragility of 0.3 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eCompatible with all 0.4 mm mechanical pencils including Pentel GraphGear 1000 and GraphGear 500\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eSlide-to-open case for easy one-handed access\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eLeads protrude slightly for single-lead retrieval\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e30 leads per tube | Lead length: 60 mm\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eMade in Japan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SD-BUNGU","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43285869854787,"sku":"PE-AIN04HB","price":3.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2976\/4338\/files\/PentelAin_04_HB_Leads_1.jpg?v=1779208952","url":"https:\/\/shopnoteworthy.com\/products\/pentel-ain-mechanical-pencil-leads-0-4-mm","provider":"Noteworthy Stationery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
