While writing, does the pencil cartridge sit firmly and solidly in place, or does it wiggle loosely against the front dispensing hole?

Pencil and 4 colors work perfect. The pencil is still solid after 4 months use.

I have found the the pencil cartridge to sit firmly in place with no problems. I love this pen. It is a little hefty. That may be seen as good or bad. I like it as it has the feel of a high quality writing instrument. I always have this pen in my pants pocket without any problem. It does not open on its own like some "click" pens, and I like having the ability to use the red or pencil. The other colors are a bonus.

I tested it with a pb the size of a crossword book while sitting in a chair and it worked fine. I had to pull the cord tight so the piece of plexiglass would hold the book open tightly and I could write on it in pencil with no problem--it did not tip over. Glad to help!

I haven't had any issues. Make sure you have it right side up when inserting.

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?

The cartridge I got works great. Is yours seated properly? Remove it, shake it and put it back in.

Push the cartridge onto the nib to puncture. It will not puncture by twisting the bottom of the pen onto the top.

It sits securely, but does not seem to lock into place how it should no matter how hard you try.

It's pretty stable. I can write at the top and it shakes a bit, but not so much that I have to support it with my other hand.

I would say 2 months on the ink cartridge use. The Pencil cartridge can store about 2 leads.

No its perfect for everyday writing until it jams. Be careful to only have 1-2 pieces of lead in it at a time.

That has happened with some of the ones I've used. No big problem. Just hold it with your fingers around the piece that's moving and the eraser will stay put. It sounds awkward, but it's really not. When you flip the pencil to erase, just slide your fingers down to the rim and hold it as you erase. The eraser won't be able to move. It's one of the few flaws.

Yes, this part keeps the included cartridge from being punctured. It is removed when you are ready to use the pen.

It is fairly stable, however, it works better for me open. The side guide helps me make sure I have the paper aligned and now just slightly off.

I have had this pencil for several months now and have not had this experience. Mine has not been wobbly at all.

You have to unscrew the pen, and insert the cartridge in the little hole. Put some pressure on it but make sure that you don't break the nib when you are putting it in.

I never tried it before but I'm assuming that it should be due to the design at bottom of the pencil; which contains a hard grip. Hope this help

Yes, in the front and it works extremely well...never double feeds and evenly aligns both side printing.
