Nicpro2mm Metal Mechanical Pencil Set, 2PCS Lead Holder 2.0 mm Marker Artist Carpenter Pencils with 120 Graphite Lead Refill (HB 2H 4H 2B 4B & Color), 2 Eraser for Drafting, Drawing Writing Sketching

WOW, what a bargain. A lightweight lead holder AND all the 2.0 lead included. I needed a lead holder that is lightweight and easy to load with new lead. I was so pleasantly surprised to see how much lead was included in the package. Amazing. For an older artist, this is the perfect weight and size. I can use it comfortably and easily. Good grip, excellent design. The erasers are another bonus. Yea for me.

I use the pencil to trace stencils. So they work great for me. Comes with a lot of different types of lead. A couple erasers and tip sharpeners. I would buy this set again.

Solid build, good feel with a nice variety of lead refill options. Only complaint is the sharpener options. Can't seem to get as sharp a point as I'm used to from a swivel barrel lead pointer. Had to buy that separately to satisfy my needs.

Verdaderamente complio mis expectativas un 200% , tiene una calidad muy buena, lo super recomiendo para quien tenga un niño en la escuela es extremadamente comodo y bueno,

Very Good value for money. Refills are very good quality and of various grades. Mechanical lead holder is well engineered. Excellent instrument for art drawings and regular writing. Package contains an eraser and plenty of refills.

Two very sturdy lead holders with lots and lots of lead! SATISFIED.

Nice lead pencil I use it on my leather krafts

TLDR: You get a lot of functional stuff for the price, so the value is great. However, the quality is just workable. It won't keep you from sketching/writing amazing stuff, but it's just not good quality. If you need years worth of lead, and your budget is tight, you won't regret getting this kit. However, if you can spend about 50% more you can get much better quality that will likely outlast these by a lot, and enough lead to last most of us months of active sketching.I almost said, "you get what you pay for," but you honestly get a little more than you pay for here.I'm sending mine back, but only because I prefer to pay a little more for slightly better quality.These are completely useable. The lead was held securely in the ones that I got and my sketching was indistinguishable from what I did with my Staedtler pencil.The lead that is included is surprisingly decent. I assumed, with the amount of lead that is included, that it would be terrible quality, that it would be in pieces when I received it, and that it would break easily. None of those things are true. I opened one container of each lead grade to test them and I didn't find any broken lead. I compared the 2H (what I generally sketch with) directly to my Staedtler 2H, and the difference was nearly indistinguishable. The NicPro lead was a touch harder to smear. That could be good if you don't blend, or it could mean it's ever so slightly harder to blend. Where it fell a little short was line consistency. You have to really be paying attention to see it (I mean REALLY looking), but there are tiny tiny little "scratches" within the lines sometimes, as if there are small hard-spots in the lead that draw darker. If you do anything other than a single stroke line, you will never find them. I just want to illustrate how close the lead actually was to Staedtler, which, admittedly isn't the best lead for sketching.The erasers, if you care, are actually good. Erasers don't get much better than good. In my opinion they are either trash or good, and these are good.I didn't try the sharpeners, but I suspect they would be "fine" for a while and then thrown away.Now for the lead holders. They're ok. That's honestly a good description of them. I can't speak to how long they will hold up, but I would expect they wouldn't last long, just based on how they feel. They are going to be inconsistent quality from one order to another. They also just don't feel good. One of my lead holders' lead designator spins very freely, so there's no way it would stay when I put it, and the others' clutch button is clunky/scratchy feeling and sometimes I have to shake it to get the lead to drop.I recommend moving up to a couple of decent mid-tear lead holders for just a few more dollars, and getting much less lead, but still generally enough to last most of us a good bit, for just a few more dollars.
