How do I refill the leads? I moved the "refill" indicator to align with the mark over the desired color but then what? How do I insert the new lead?

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

Insert desired color from the writing end. Make sure there is no lead in selected space. (pushing the botton on top will open the writing end)

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.

What you have to do is push the button like you are going to "eject" the lead to write but when you do the lead will be able to be completely removed from the pencil. Once you have completely removed previous lead you can now insert the new lead into the pencil. And then move the alignment notch off "refill" and you are now ready to use your pencil with your new lead. I hope this helps you out!!

I think if you go to their web site you can download/get instructions...?? OR go to YouTube.com and do a search on how to refill ink cartridges... there's several videos on how to do it... also it helps if you list the type/model # of your cartridge....

Those look to be the correct refills. Are you sure you are looking in the right place for the eraser? If you take off the cap and put it on the back for the pencil, then the small silver cap that you use to advance the lead can be removed to reveal the eraser.I hope this helps.

That compass takes 2 mm lead refills. You should be able to purchase these leads at an art supply or engineering supply store.

If any cartridge, after refill, is not recognized as being full, its a matter for the manufacturer to resolve. I would try to contact the manufacturer for a solution or a replacement. Missing colors suggest a clogged print head. I would suggest performing the various cleaning procedures described in the printer's owners manual which is often available on the manufacturer's website.

You can indeed. The description is incorrect. Wouldn't be much of a lead holder if you couldn't refill it. That would just be a pencil.

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.

I'll keep my eye open and let you all know. I tried using different crayola markers from color explosion and they don't work very well. So if you have those try it out until you get the refills. Has anyone out there tried other markers or know where to purchase the refills.....

I have had mine for overa year, I use it daily and have had to replace the ink refill once.I work in the aviation industry and everything is black ink,pencil or red ink/pencil.I have not had to refill the red cartridge nor have I had to refill the pencil lead.Not sure on the pencil lead capacity as I have had no need to refill. My biggest complaint is that its difficult to tell the different color inks so I am constantly doing a little test scribble off to the side before writing.They supply a little colored tic mark on the cartridge but it wears off pretty quick.

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.

Point the pen upwards. Press the yellow button on the clip end to release the current lead and let it slide back into the pen. Release the yellow button. Then rotate the pocket clip to point to the new color lead. Press the yellow button again and let the new color slide out to the desired position and release the button to grip the lead.

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

You must google HOW TO REFILL INK CARTRIDGE FOR ___________. Type in your printer and then search for instructions. I just bought clear refillable cartridges for two of my printers to make it easier. If you buy refillable cartridges all you have to do is pull out the rubber plug and inject the ink. Without refillable ones you have to drill a hole in your cartridge in the correct spot and guess at how much ink to inject. Then plug the hole you made with glue from a hot glue stick. Can get messy. Wear plastic gloves. Filling your own is definitely a money saver.

You need to purchase the Crayola Marker Maker. The refill pack is just the materials to make more markers. Won't work without the Marker Maker.

Stand the pencil upright on a hard surface. Push down firmly so that the eraser goes into the barrel of the pencil a bit (you will feel and hear a "clunk"). Remove any old lead by pulling it up and out of the point. With the pencil still resting on its eraser and applying some downward pressure, feed the new lead down into the pencil. All done! :) I just LOVE these pencils, don't you?

Is it a new purchase? If so, there would have been an instruction manual with it. And, did you put the battery in just like it appears on the drawing? Try reversing the battery.

there is a little black nub above the clip. you rotate the yellow cap around and match the 'refill' printing with the nub. then press the yellow cap down. It will now open the jaws wider and allow the refill and it's metal sleeve out and a new refill in.
