Refill Question for Slimline Pencil Kits

[John Buzzurro]

Hi All,

I need to find a source of lead and eraser refills for my slimline kits. I know that I need .7mm leads for most of the kits, except for the Woodcraft kits which use .5mm leads. It also appears that the erasers on these kits are all the same size.

My question is twofold - 1st, where do you folks usually purchase these refills? And, for the erasers, how do I know I'm getting the right size refill, since most places I've seen online don't specify the size.

Thanks,
John

John,

I can't speak for the erasers but the lead can be bought at most good office supply places.

Decades ago I worked as a draftsman. A dear friend gave a really nice set of drafting pencils. They all take 0.5 mm lead. I am very heavy handed and prefer 0.7 mm lead. I get mine at several office supply stores locally.

Any drug store that sells school supply's for the lead. The erasers I have no idea, I never make mistakes :rolleyes:
