Students who press lightly, left-handers who want a bold line quickly, and anyone sketching or shading in a 0.5 mm pencil tend to prefer it. The trade-off is that softer lead wears faster and can smudge more under the hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn Staedtler's words the Mars micro carbon lead is stable and break resistant and gives a smooth writing experience, with deep black lines that rub out without fuss on paper or drawing card. Any mechanical pencil takes it if the width matches, and the red band on the tube is the ISO code for 0.5 mm.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach tube holds 12 leads. The same width comes in harder grades from B up to 3H if you want a lighter line for drawing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrowse \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/mechanical-pencil-leads\"\u003emechanical pencil leads\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/pencil-leads-refills\"\u003epencil lead refills\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/mechanical-pencils\"\u003emechanical pencils\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/staedtler\"\u003eStaedtler\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Staedtler","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50552825643264,"sku":"SR250 05-2B","price":1.49,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0863\/5419\/8784\/files\/Staedtler_Mars_Micro_Carbon_Leads_05_2B_250-05-2B_1_Mega_Office_Supplies.jpg?v=1791401247","url":"https:\/\/megaschoolsupplies.com.au\/products\/staedtler-250-05-2b-mars-micro-carbon-leads-0-5mm-2b","provider":"Mega School Supplies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
