Mechanical pencils are a common writing implement on many desks around the world, and everyone has their own reason for choosing mechanical. Some like that they don't need sharpening, others like that they last forever, and still other people use mechanical pencils to save resources. Refills are the key to making mechanical pencils truly effective, so stock up on Pentel refills of all sizes today.

Mechanical pencils don't even need sharpening--instead, just pick the pencil that has a point of the size you like to write. Whether 0.7mm, 0.5mm, or 0.3mm leads, you can find a pencil that writes just the way you like it. You can even choose the hardness of the graphite for even more control over your linework. Once you find a lead you like, all you need is purchase a supply of Pentel refills.

Pentel refills fit all standard mechanical pencils, but work best with Pentel pencils. While graphite refills are standard sized, different pencils have different mechanisms for loading and dispensing the writing tip. Pentel pencils are designed to get the longest life and most secure fitting out of their refills.

What's more, using refills is an easy way to make your work space more environmentally friendly! Since you only replace the tiny pieces of graphite, instead of an entire pen, you're reducing your amount of waste dramatically over the course of a year. Add to that the fact that standard pencils are made of wood, and you can feel great about saving trees and writing well with refillable mechanical pencils.
