This is a pencil where you have to click the back for the lead to come out? I cannot find anywhere online that confirms or denies this.

Yes, Lance. You click on the tip and the lead will come out. The only difference involving the clicking from traditional mechanical pencils is that the lead comes out in smaller increments so that the amount you want is more precise so you may have to click a couple of times.

Pull off the silver tip and inside you will see the eraser. Take off the eraser and place the led through the hole. Good luck! We love this pencil.

With pretty light use, I can no longer get it to feed lead. I have to unscrew the first 2 tip components, feed it out, and carefully slide and screw the tips back in every time I want more lead. Is there any way to fix this?

It doesn't 'do' anything, its apparently to indicate what type of lead is in the pencil (you rotate it to the appropriate type yourself). A useless feature, in my opinion, but does no harm. If I were a draftsman, I'm sure I would better appreciate its subtleties :)

Just place the lead on the top opening beneath the eraser. Steps: 1. Remove the eraser from the top. 2. Place the lead in the top main hole. 3. Place the eraser back. 4. When you press side button, lead will automatically come down.

It has a thick mechanical pencil lead that you twist to push up like a regular mechanical pencil. There is a sharpener for the lead itself to make it thinner but it's not necessary to use. A regular sharpener would not work. This has been a great pencil for my left handed child. It has helped him form his letters.

Yes all of mine have came with lead inside them. I've also bought refills here on amazon for the leads and erasers. I have not had to replace or add any to my pencils yet but did not want to wait till I ran out before I ordered. I love mine, very comfortable in the hand and balanced well for drawing.

open the top as to sharpen then, Pull the top where you sharpen the pencils up. there is a small notch in the back that lines up to put it back

click the lever to make the lead come down. if you need to reload the lead, remove the eraser holder (pull up) and gently slide the new lead into the chamber. it should slide into the white tube. keep clicking the lever and you'll see the lead start to stick out from the tip. another way might be: click and hold down the lever and you gently push up the lead (but this might break the lead). by the way, to put back the eraser holder, make sure the "paper mate" thingy that sticks down is aligned with the cut in the clear chamber. another FYI: to bring up the eraser (when it's running low), rotate the colored part closest to the end of the eraser--it'll make the eraser come up, much like a deodorant. click the lever to make the lead come down. if you need to reload the lead, remove the eraser holder (pull up) and gently slide the new lead into the chamber. it should slide into the white tube. keep clicking the lever and you'll see the lead start to stick out from the tip. another way might be: click and hold down the lever and you gently push up the lead (but this might break the lead). by the way, to put back the eraser holder, make sure the "paper mate" thingy that sticks down is aligned with the cut in the clear chamber. another FYI: to bring up the eraser... » Read More click the lever to make the lead come down. if you need to reload the lead, remove the eraser holder (pull up) and gently slide the new lead into the chamber. it should slide into the white tube. keep clicking the lever and you'll see the lead start to stick out from the tip. another way might be: click and hold down the lever and you gently push up the lead (but this might break the lead). by the way, to put back the eraser holder, make sure the "paper mate" thingy that sticks down is aligned with the cut in the clear chamber. another FYI: to bring up the eraser (when it's running low), rotate the colored part closest to the end of the eraser--it'll make the eraser come up, much like a deodorant. « Show Less

Stand the pencil upright on a hard surface. Push down firmly so that the eraser goes into the barrel of the pencil a bit (you will feel and hear a "clunk"). Remove any old lead by pulling it up and out of the point. With the pencil still resting on its eraser and applying some downward pressure, feed the new lead down into the pencil. All done! :) I just LOVE these pencils, don't you?

I bought mine at an art supply store for over $20 and even though it came in a pretty box it still didn't come with instructions. It's a pencil...not a Ferrari engine. Pull the cap and eraser off to load the leads...not too many....then click it to advance the lead to write. Pull off the cap to operate the eraser. That's about it.

Yes, the tip is retractable. Hold the button down and push it in. The tip also moves inward as the lead is used which better supports the lead and minimizes breaking. It's a nice pencil and I rarely ever break the lead with this one.

Like the others said, it indicates what type of lead is currently in the pencil. And the photo shows a black pencil, but you will get a blue one.

Hi Michelle. Pull out the silver button at the non cap end (the part which has the pencil point). Throw the lead in there! I love this pencil...have it in almost every color!!

You click on the chrome end to advance the lead, like any other mechanical pencil. I don't know what "auto-feeding" means in this context.

I always refill mine from the bottom. Remove the used lead. Push the top down as you do when you want to advance a lead and then insert the new lead. I have never had a problem with this.

Only one piece of lead in the pencil and no cap. Lead can be retracted into pencil body so cap not necessary
