What is the size of the lead refills? I currently have a compass that takes 0.5 mm lead refills.

That compass takes 2 mm lead refills. You should be able to purchase these leads at an art supply or engineering supply store.

This compass uses traditional large compass lead, and will not accept mechanical pencil lead. However, this compass comes with an attachment to hold a separate pen or pencil, in addition to the standard lead holder.

You would need to use a mechanical pencil of lead sized 0.5mm or less. Anything bigger or the normal (non-mechanical) pencils are too big.

Just like Regular pencils it depends on the hardness of the lead. A 2H will stay sharp for quite some time but a 4B (what I use) will need to be sharpened probably like every 5 to 10 Mins depending on how sharp your lead needs to be and how fast you draw...ect. So in short.. You'll most likely need to sharpen these just as much as you would a normal pencil. I would suggest using a rotary sharpener if you do decide to go the led holder route. They sharpen the lead to a much finer point than you can get with a regular pencil and its quicker than the built in sharpener on this lead holder. In my opinion you don't really get the full function (or advantage) of a lead holder till you get a rotary sharper. Just like Regular pencils it depends on the hardness of the lead.

I have no idea the size of the tip. I have no way to measure it as I don't have a mm ruler. But they are of average size and they do not look like the tip can be replaced. I bought these since my husband got a smartphone and uses them frequently. I have them all over the house incase he loses one. I have had better ones and I find these to be cheap in weight and construction but they work for what I want.

I have the 0.7, and absolutely yes. I've written multiple essays and exams with it. The 0.5 and the 0.7 are the same on the outside, only difference is the lead.

I always refill mine from the bottom. Remove the used lead. Push the top down as you do when you want to advance a lead and then insert the new lead. I have never had a problem with this.

The pencil does not require its own lead. Any 0.7 mm lead will work with it. Be mindful that this pencil is priced cheaper at Walmart.

The same erasers fit .3-.9 mm Pentel mechanical pencils - and probably more sizes

Depends on how much pressure. If I use it lightly it's like as thick as .7mm lead but you can make it narrower. It can be much thicker too if you go slow and/or use good pressure

Hi Marie, I bought this quite some time ago. I used it for a while and it's very accurate.You need to use really small lead pencils so it can fit in the tiny holes.Mine was about 6 to 8 inches very thin I think aluminium metal and a red handle that works as a fence,not sure if it was made of hard plastic or light composite metal . it was very light.I put it away in it's box for fear that it can get bent easily. Now I'm not sure where it's at. It's a nice tool but it won;t forgive you if you ever get careless, and I feel it can bend easily by mistake. I hope this helps you.

This product has 2.875" Inside diameter I had to cut back my stock exhaust pipe and install farther back to get it on it looks good but will not fit on a 3". Your compass probably has much smaller pipe and this would be way to big when looking at ratio. I have it on a tundra with 3" exhaust and this goes out to larger from there. Try looking at 2.5" tip size. Hope that helps.

The kit I have came with inserts that measure just under 10mm, at least on my dial caliper. I needed 12mm length for the project I was doing so I bought the inserts separately. The kit works for various length inserts.

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.

.7mm diameter lead will not fit into a .5mm hole. Not very easily, for sure.

Yes, they are very durable and easy to use. All you have to do is shake the pencil vertically and the lead will come out of the tip. In terms of durability, it is a durable pencil made out of plastic and a lightweight metal. I would say the dimenstions are probably around 6 inches for the height, and the width is about .5 inches.

I don't have them with me now to measure, but they are basically normal pencil length, maybe a bit on the shorter side. Not half - length for sure, they're a decent size.
