How do you replace leads in a dr grip center of gravity pencil?

I take the cap off, and remove the eraser, and drop it in. Also, I have put lead on piece at a time, by holding down the cap over the eraser, and inserting throuh the writing end of the pencil.

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.

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

At the very bottom of the pencil where the lead comes out, take the new lead and feed it into the pencil as you continuously press the top of the pencil. Think of it in reverse order when you want the lead to come out you pump the top of the pencil so that the lead moves forward, in this case you would feed the lead into the pencil as you press the top of the pencil. Hope that helps...

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?

You should be able to press down on the top button and hold it down. This will inturn push the prongs our from the tip of the pencil allowing the lead to slid out. From there you can adjust how much lead you want sticking out from the tip. When you release the top button, the prongs will go back to its natural position hence holding the lead in place.

If you are referring to the grey piece on the original legs where you plug the compass cord into: You can detach the old legs compass connector by removing two screws and attach it to the new legs. I found that it was a bit loose on my new legs and I fixed this by putting a few layers of electrical tape 'thicken' the area I was putting the compass connector and then screwed it onto that, to give it some grip. I think that is what you are asking.

Since you can load different hardness leads in this pencil, they print several different types of lead on the pencil and have a rotating metal band with a window in it that you move until the type of lead you have is showing. For example, you can rotate it until "2B", "B", "HB", "F", "H", 2H, or "4H" shows thru the window.

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.

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.

Yes. You have to press the top of the pencil, as if you wanted to push more lead out, and while holding the top down you can push the lead back into the tip.

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

Make sure you are using the right diameter lead. If it's still not working you have a defective pencil.

Each pencil requires a different lead size which is indicated by the width of the pencil you are using. You will need 0.3mm lead for the "yellow detail" mechanical pencil , 0.5mm lead for the "burgundy detail" mechanical pencil, and 0.7mm lead for the "blue detail" mechanical pencil.

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.

Pull the top of the pencil off, the part that is colored and has the eraser and clip on it. Drop new lead into white tube inside. Put top back on, be sure to line up the clip with the slot. Click the side button to advance the lead.

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.

You may use any 0.7mm lead with the pencil, but I assure you that once you try this pencil with the diamond-infused lead which it comes with you will want to use that lead by preference. But it is not a requirement.

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 leads can be replaced but not interchanged with other leads. the tips are removable
