How can you clear lead jams in the tip of the pencil?

I've used a thin needle & it worked well but jams are not normal in this pencil.

the whole pencil can be unscrewed into pieces.So I would unscrew the silver tip,then try to push a lead thru tip. Or small sewing needle.the original kerry back in the 80's used to have needle in the eraser cap the newer ones do not.

the only way to get the lead to go back, would be to hold the eraser down (which was the way to make the lead feed out of the pencil) and push the lead back up into the chamber. Retraction was not a built in option on these.

The lead lasts a long time. These Paper Mate Sharpwriters are disposable. I do not refill.

This pack of three needs three different lead sizes, one pencil uses .3mm lead, another uses .5mm lead, and the third one uses .7mm lead. They all have lead already in them, but not that much. The eraser cap shows the lead size on the top and they are color coded.

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.

I remove the plastic cap from the eraser, then pull out the eraser, and carefully insert a couple pieces of the correct sized pencil lead into the eraser hole. Re-assemble in the reverse order. I believe that the lead rotater occupies some of the lead storage in the pencil, so it only holds 2 or 3 extra leads.

Yes, if functioning correctly the correct sized lead can be fed into the tube once the eraser is removed. It is un-advisable to feed the 5mm and 7mm respectively into the tip, they would tend to break given their thinness.

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.

Remove the metal cap that covers the eraser, remove the eraser and insert lead into the hole.

To remove grab the nub and pull directly out of the pencil. It may feel like it is stuck so just pull a little harder. To insert reverse the process.

My son and I have never had this problem. Could be a piece stuck in there? Is the hole the right size for the pencil?

I've sharpened hundreds of colored pencils with mine, with about one in 15 getting jammed. Unjamming it takes abot 10 seconds. What happens is the lead, because it is softer than graphite breaks off, preventing the next pecil from sharpening properly. Removal of the tip takes about 10 secods total.

With pencil in carrying configuration (enameled cap-with-clip covering point), pull small silver knurled cap from back of barrel exposing lead compartment. Place new leads (four or five?) in place. Replace small knurled cap. Remove the large enameled cap with clip to expose point of pencil, hold pencil vertical, point down, and repeatedly push small knurled cap--the lead advance button--until new lead appears. (This last operation may also be accomplished with the large enameled cap in writing configuration--securely in place on back of barrel--due to a very neat design innovation.)

Use any eraser, it works great. Prior to shooting apply a thin layer of vaseline, helps the dirt/grime/lead come wipe off

You must click the top cover over the eraser or the eraser itself to advance lead. The main reason this is my favorite pencil is that it automatically rotates the lead as you write, keeping the lead pointed and greatly reducing lead breakage.

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

I am not sure can't find the directions. I am hoping when I finish one color, the little left will fall out. I can't pull a color out now. The lead is thick. They do Pentel, has a colored lead one with point 7 lead which I which I had as I write with that in a lead pencil. Hope this helps!
