Can someone post a video using this pencil and changing the lead. I am having a hard time seeing how this works.

The instructions are pretty clear. Turn the clip to select the color you want (you can see the colored lead thru the clear barrel). Then hold it tip down over the table or your hand and press the cap...the lead will slide down. Let it come out about a half inch and while pressing the cap, adjust it to 3mm sticking out from the tip. Any more and it might break off, you'll see. To retract, hold tip up and press the cap - the lead will retract all the way back into its channel.

I have to guess a bit since I don't have your pencil in my hand, so please be gentle with me if I misunderstood. Most commonly, jamming occurs when you forget to retract the last lead. When you have finishe using a lead, 1) tip the pencil upside down 2) push in the yellow button at the end (now on the bottom, since it is inverted) 3) the lead will fall back into its slot. If this doesn't happen, you have begun to turn the selector already, thus pinching the lead so that it cannot fall back down into its "home" slot. GENTLY twist right or left, which ever way allows the lead to drop free. If that doesn't solve your problem, my next guess is that somehow locked your lead (or a broken piece of your lead) in the little vise jaws which hold it while you write. 1) Open a paper clip, so you can use it as a small wire tool. 2) hold the pen in the normal writing way, point down. 3) Push and hold down the yellow button on the top 4) with the paper clip tool, GENTLY poke into the place where the lead is jammed. It should fall out. I hope that helps.

Honestly I had the same problem I still don't know how it works someone else did it for me... sorry I couldn't be more helpful... the seller wasn't any help either. I would say check it up on YouTube

The seller send me just the pencil in an envelope with no original wrap or instructions. It's simple enough to operate w/o any type of instructions. Sorry, not much help here, hope this answer your question.

Turning barrels on both the pen and pencil. This feature on the pencil is kind of a pain. I frequently have to take long lists of numbers over the phone. It is difficult to turn the barrel quickly to get more lead. It's just a minor annoyance though, if you aren't in a hurry.

Automatic? I don't believeThere is an automatic mechanical pencil. This works just like most. Push to advance lead and twist to advance eraser.

You may have to re-wire the lead; however, it all comes with the unit. It is just a matter of taking the wire nuts off to change to the new connection... a very easy process.

There is a grooved cut-out on the pencil body which sits under the clip part of the pencil. If you pull straight up on the colored top the two pieces should separate and then you drop the leads into the little lead holder thing inside, put the two pieces back together and you are ready to roll! (or should I say, 'write' :-) )

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.

You have to have the metal part out before you put the pencil in. When you turn the handle, the metal part moves back to the main component and then you'll have a well sharpened pencil. If you don't start with the metal part out, your pencil won't sharpen very well.

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!

First of all there are two ways to refill lead.First way is to click on the button on the side and insert lead from the tip of the pencil (at the same time)Second way is to pull the back colored part out and fill in lead

I believe the lead that comes with this mechanical pencil is graded HB. So it's pretty much middle of the road in terms of darkness/hardness. I suspect it would work just fine. Personally, I prefer softer darker lead. I generally use 4B lead which leaves a noticeably darker line but also breaks easier. I would think the darker the line, the easier (faster?) it would be to fill in the little ovals on a scantron test. So it's a matter of preference I suppose.

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

You will also need 2mm lead (there are a variety of hardnesses and colors available), a 2mm lead sharpener (lots of different styles, I reccomend the Kum Automatic Long point two stage sharpener - it sharpens 2mm lead and it has a two stage long point sharpener for pencils - excellent points), and you will need an eraser, paper, ruler, and etc. Most importantly you will need creativity and imagination! Have fun. I bought lots of these (different brands and colors) for a wide variety of lead hardnesses. This one feels more solid in comparison to some other brands but I have not yet come across any that are unsatisfactory.

The "Lead" is actually a 0.5mm graphite rod that advances from the tip by activating a clicking mechanism which encompasses the upper portion also containing the eraser. Lead hasn't been used in pencils probably ever, but pecils were long the cause of lead poisioning because of the paint which DID contain high amounts of lead. And you know how hard it is to stop chewing on a pencil. I use the thread of lead poisioning now to deter my child from putting the pencil in his mouth, but you and i both know that it is unlikely.

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.
