## Description

Product: 12 Faber Castell mechanical pencil leads, 2B 0,5mm An exclusive, unique and original product by Faber Castell. Part number: 120502

Review: perfect and as described - sturdy plastic container for the leads, just the job - I've used one lead so far and it seems strong and good quality and as described - nothing to find fault about. Also, as a surprise, the container seems to have a small section of tube in it's lid, which at first glance makes it look like you can tip the container so that one lead at a time comes out - however the hole does not line up with the body of the container for it to do that, so I'm not sure what the tube is for. So, unless the leads prove to be fragile, I would definitely buy again.
