Sun-Star SharPits 2.0 mm B graphite lead review

Got a few more lead refills for my Sun-Star SharPits 2.0 mm B leadholder that I reviewed last month.
Quick facts: Made in Japan. Packaged 3 leads to a plastic tube. Leads have no markings indicating brand or graphite grade. Available only in B or 2B grades at Jet Pens. Smooth lay down while yielding rich dark marks on the paper. Fairly smudge -resistant for a B lead.
Video review. Recommended B graphite lead refill for 2 mm leadholder users. One of the better values to be had in this product category. I would suggest using them in your preferred 2 mm leadholder instead of the plastic SharPits B model for a sturdier feel. Loaded in my solidly-built Caran D'Ache Fixpencil 22 leadholder, I was able to bear down on the tip with confidence laying down satisfyingly broader jet-black strokes.
