You were dead on about the lead breaking every two seconds. I appreciate the advice, the quick response, and of course the great review.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4200978858695986279.post-27467432502205780302014-03-05T20:14:43.100-05:002014-03-05T20:14:43.100-05:00I did not write that the lead had to be inserted i...I did not write that the lead had to be inserted into the tip as there was no opening in the lead reservoir! What I wrote was that I could not pour lead from the lead container directly into the lead reservoir! The pencil has an opening in the lead reservoir. So feed lead into the pencil from the end cap end, not the tip end. However if you are smart, throw away that Pacific Arc POS and buy you a Pentel P203 off the Net. It will cost you $10.00 but will last you 100 times as long as that PAPOSThe Old Geezerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15852072254280348354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4200978858695986279.post-37300657986322223052014-03-05T15:02:06.886-05:002014-03-05T15:02:06.886-05:00Ya I just bought this pencil and was very confused...Ya I just bought this pencil and was very confused that there is no lead reservoir. So as you mentioned the lead has to be reloaded by hand into the front of the pencil. This can be done by unscrewing the tip or by inserting through the needle nose.<br /><br />My question is...do I have to break up my lead to use a new stick with this pencil? Seems so because of the length of the lead. How is that an efficient design?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
