Lead is darker than anything else, but breaks way to easily.

I tested one pencil and am definitely going to be returning these. After two attempts to sharpen the pencil, I had 7 instances of the lead snapping off inside the pencil and falling out before I could get a decent tip. That said, the shading is darker with this pencil than anything else I've come across. If you don't need a fine point, this could be a good option
