how do you put a new lead inside the pencil?

By removing the eraser. It is a small opening but this pencil writes great.

Just pull the cover located on the top of Kuru Toga and insert the lead inside the pencil

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 would need to use a mechanical pencil of lead sized 0.5mm or less. Anything bigger or the normal (non-mechanical) pencils are too big.

The new lead inserts from the writing tip end of the pen. Took me a while to figure it out, too.

these are a very soft lead . the best way that I have found is to take a little hand held sharpner put the pencil in and then switch hands and turn the sharpner instead of the pencil. this way the pencil does not twist. do not sharpnen to a real sharp point keep in minimal. you will love these pencils.

You can change it to indicate the hardness of the lead in the pencil. I like to have 2B in pencils I write with. HB is pretty standard, bit a little too hard for my liking.

you need to pinch together the two black things and pull out the silver plate on the front. Once fully extended, insert your pencil all the way into the sharpener through the hole. Begin sharpening by rotating the lever and you will feel lever becomes light when pencil is sharpened. To take out the pencil, you need to pinch open the black things

Where the lead comes out at the bottom of the pencil, you put the lead there and click as if you were advancing lead. As you click push the lead up into the pencil a little at a time until it is fully inserted. I hope that answers your question.

Yes, you can refill it with 2mm leads Madcaver. The "pencil" itself is just a lead holder, it opens up and allows you to insert whichever type of lead (F, H, HB, etc.) into the desired length and it holds it in place.

What size lead? ... That small 0.5mm Pentel pencil type lead seems to work fine.

Sorry, the answer is NO. The pencil set come with one standard leads, you do need to purchase 4H, 2H, on your own. What we are trying to show here is the pencil has the indicator that shows what kind of lead is loaded inside the pencil.

Pinch the two black things together and pull them out away from the base. With the two black pinched together, insert the pencil and then let go of the black things. Start turning the the handle and the black things move back to the base. You will then have a perfectly sharpened pencil.

They are refillable, despite what the description and packaging state. First, you remove the eraser, then you turn the nose until a little plastic piece falls out (it will have the last of the lead inside). Pull the spent lead out the plastic piece, put a new lead in, then carefully guide the lead into the spring in the body of the pencil. Turn the nose until the lead starts to feed, then replace the eraser. It might sound complicated, but it takes maybe a minute.

Just twist until you have most of the eraser out and then pull. It will pop out. Then pop a new one in and twist until it is the proper length to use.

No, once the lead is exposed it stays out. Wouldn't it be nice though if you could find mechanical pencils that did retract the lead? I've never founds one myself.

I just sharpen mine with an Xacto knife to maximize the lead. Works great ^^ But an answer to your question, you can use any sharpener although I recommend not using an electric one because they tend to "Eat" up the pencils.

the other answerers must not have looked very hard, its quite easy to remove the lead if you have a means of removing the eraser if it has been ground down very low, if you cant take it off then take a needle or a paper clip and stab it into the eraser and pull it out, if you dont want there to be a hole visible then simply turn it over so the hole is not visible
