how many sets of leads do you get with the pencil?
2000682
32 leads, four of each color. This pen works better than the original Pentel marker, which was also good.

You will also need 2mm lead (there are a variety of hardnesses and colors available), a 2mm lead sharpener (lots of different styles, I reccomend the Kum Automatic Long point two stage sharpener - it sharpens 2mm lead and it has a two stage long point sharpener for pencils - excellent points), and you will need an eraser, paper, ruler, and etc. Most importantly you will need creativity and imagination! Have fun. I bought lots of these (different brands and colors) for a wide variety of lead hardnesses. This one feels more solid in comparison to some other brands but I have not yet come across any that are unsatisfactory.

It does not come with any lead. I started off using lead from a pencil I split but then I when to a hobby craft store and purchased some 1.5 mm lead that works great.

I just sharpen mine with an Xacto knife to maximize the lead. Works great ^^ But an answer to your question, you can use any sharpener although I recommend not using an electric one because they tend to "Eat" up the pencils.

Hi Loch. There are 12 (twelve) pencils per box. These are good pencils, last a long time and stay sharp. Buy with confidence.

The set I received had 150 individual pencils- all different colors. Also, you can order each color individually so if there was one color you use a lot you can always get a replacement.

Does this particular package only come with one set of test leads? In other words, what's "in the box"?

The frequency of sharpening depends on how you hold the pencil as well as on the softness of the lead.While I can't speak for anyone else, I never liked using mechanical (.5mm) pencils for sketching because a thin lead tends to go off the intended path very easily.

These mechanical pencils require a 1.3 mm #2 lead refill, they do not take a .5 lead refill. So, yes, I guess it is a specialized size of lead. My husband loves them for working in the shop or making notes to prints.

For sketching where line detail isn't important. Use a harder lead (4h or 6h) and I'd say 4-6 hours of use. But I've been using the same piece of 4h lead since September. I use mechanical pencils as well and my personal favorite is a 7mm pencil.

I believe I got 8 in an order....it probably says on the listing and I just failed to read it correctly so I think I thought it was only like 2 per order (and I ordered 3....I was giving away pencils)

You may use any 0.7mm lead with the pencil, but I assure you that once you try this pencil with the diamond-infused lead which it comes with you will want to use that lead by preference. But it is not a requirement.

Where the lead comes out at the bottom of the pencil, you put the lead there and click as if you were advancing lead. As you click push the lead up into the pencil a little at a time until it is fully inserted. I hope that answers your question.

I am not sure of what do you mean by primary. These have worked and continues to work very well on regular pencil types.Every time I sharpen, there is no uncessary loss of leads and it is as sharp as I require it.

Each pencil requires a different lead size which is indicated by the width of the pencil you are using. You will need 0.3mm lead for the "yellow detail" mechanical pencil , 0.5mm lead for the "burgundy detail" mechanical pencil, and 0.7mm lead for the "blue detail" mechanical pencil.

I have 120 pencils in my case and I love it! It's so easy to get the pencils I need at a glance now... That saves me so much time!

Jenica, I don't think it let me set the title but it is 30 different pencils in there.
