Ain Mechanical Pencil Leads
Newly redesigned and reformulated — so it's smoother, stronger, and more break-resistant than ever — this is Pentel Ain Mechanical Pencil Lead.
To open the case, first peel off the sticker to reveal Ain's minimalist black case. Slide the case down to unlock, then slide right to open the top. It's a quick, natural motion that can easily be done with one hand. For frequent users of mechanical pencils, Ain's clever case will be a welcome innovation.
Ain leads are recommended for all brands, sizes, and types of mechanical pencils. We offer this lead in hard and soft grades, and in several diameters: 0.2 mm, 0.3 mm, 0.5 mm, 0.7 mm, 0.9 mm, and 1.3 mm. The 0.5 mm diameter is also available in red lead or non-photo blue lead.
Ain leads are 60 mm long. The quantity of leads varies depending on the diameter — please consult the product label for quantity information.
Made in Japan.

How quickly will my order ship?
Our St. Louis warehouse team is pretty speedy! We generally ship orders within one business day of receiving them. You'll receive a tracking number by email as soon as your order's packed and out the door.
How long will it take to arrive?
We offer shipping estimates for each order at checkout. Please note that these are only our system's best guess — there are many factors that may affect shipping time.
Generally speaking, our parcels take about 2-3 business days to travel to most U.S. addresses once they are shipped.
In a hurry? We offer expedited shipping options, including overnight shipping, at checkout.
IMPORTANT NOTE: We never guarantee delivery dates because carrier delays are not within our control. We do not issue refunds due to delays in transit.
Do you accept returns?
Yes — we accept returns of unopened, undamaged items within 30 days of receipt.
If your return is because we made a mistake, we'll pay for the return shipping label. If you're returning an item because you changed your mind, return shipping is at your expense.
