Good video tutorial for Mechanical pencil beginners, honestly I don't really recommend inserting more leads inside that can cause the mechanism to jammed. Probably 3 leads is good to go! More Power!
Thank you! When I got my old Mechanical pencil, I use to refill it from the mouth of the pencil. I do that too a day ago when I was refilling my new mechanical pencil my mom gave me 2 days ago. But thank you for telling me! I didn't know you can insert more than one lead!
You were the first vid I watched. It helped tremendously! Many of the videos suggest avoiding more than 2-3 lead refills or you can potentially jam the chamber. Thank you so much for posting! 🌹
If anyone’s wondering how to change the lead (to a different hardness) here is how. 1. remove all the spare lead from the pencil if there is any 2. Turn pencil vertical with tip pointing up. 3. Press and hold down on the advance mechanism and push the currently installed lead down into the tip with your hand. 4. Keep holding the advance button and Use the ramrod on the eraser to push the lead down further. 5. It will drop out and you can remove it and change leads.
If I may ask a question. Whenever I buy a mechanical pencil, everything would go okay until I have to refill it. Once I refill it, the lead would stop holding firmly in place and would push back in once I start writing. Is it because I only put one lead when I’m refilling my pencil?
Yes it is. You have to put as many as you can fit in there after there is no more space to put anymore, then put the eraser and cap back in and it will work
OMG I KNOW THE ANSWER!!! I had this exact same problem. Try putting the rubber tip(not the eraser) back in place with the help of the lead. There's a rubber tip inside the nib of the pencil. Whenever it moves out of it's place, this happens. Try doing this, it might help.
I had trouble refilling my pencil earlier today so I decided to search up a tutorial and this video was the most helpful out if all of them! Thank you so much for your help! :)
THANK YOU SO MUCHHHHH I GOT MY FIRST PIGMA MECHANICAL PENCIL A FEW DAYS AGO AND I WAS JUST WONDERING HOW TO REFILL IT AND I WAS ALSO WONDERING WHY IT DIDN’T HAVE AN ERASER SO I SEARCHED FOR A TUTORIAL OUT OF CURIOSITY AND I MANAGED TO STUMBLE ACROSS THIS VIDEO THANK YOU SO SO MUCH !!!
Thank you very much ! So easy to do still I was thinking " naaa can't be that simple to remove the eraser and fill it there " haha Now I can continue to draw with my favorite pencil 😁
Can u help me pls. So basically i left the mechanical pen open out since its a pencil anyway and i thought it won't break but when i got back and tried to draw the lead wasnt showing, pls helppp
YOU ARE AN ANGEL!!!!!! EVERYTIME IM IN SCHOOL I RUN OUT OF LED AT THE WORNG TIME WHILE WE HAD TO COPY NOTES, AND IT WAS SO EMBARRASING BEING THE LAST ONE TO FINISH BECAUSE I HAD TO STRUGGLE TO FIND ANOTHER PENCIL TO WRITE WITH! TYYYYY!!
Thank you it's my first mechanical pencil from faber castle it is grip matic 0.5 and those who can find the result of grip matic 0.5 you can fill yours like this it works with it too and I broke it I was scared to tell my dad cz it's super duper expensive In pakistan and thank you God bless you
( My face while trying this 😲) Thank you so is much I had a mechanical pencil before but it was a cheap one I got more expensive ones they said they had a eraser but I couldn't for my life find out how to refill or where it was
Hello Can you help me i have problem with the refill I add a lot of it in one time and after some days it jam and when I take off the cover there is only 4 has out and the another 20 refill is stuck in the pen I tried to remove it but its doesn't remove PlS help😭😭
OMG THANK you so much I always took the front out and put the refill in it but then when I tried to sketch it always would go back in but now since I watched the tutorial everything was perfect
Well, This is very time consuming for a test. I once did this method and the teacher got so irritated by the constant clicking while I tried to get the lead to slot in the hole thingy. Next time I will just use mouth.
This is incredibly annoying. It doesn't feed in from the tip like the fools at Staples said, since it's jacked in from the back. My pencils have bee. Thrown at the wall, and busted eraser passages, probably cause I smashed it. It won't feed in either way. Does ANYone know how to fis this?
@@caatthhh I wasted so many mechanical pencils by trying to refill them in a wrong way ( yee I’m so dumb:/)that I almost stopped buying them lol. Your video was really helpful though:) Also your sketches are amazing!:)

Thank you. This video is perfect for born idiots like me who has already broken a lead trying to put it in from the front...😊
i feel so dumb abt refilling it, thank you!!
01:44 OMG, why you didn't use the broken one?
This is normal.
I believe you don't throw away leads broken in half.
They are still usable.
Oh. Damn. I throw it away 🥺 dumb move.

Does this also work with faber castell automatic pencil ?
Well, This is very time consuming for a test. I once did this method and the teacher got so irritated by the constant clicking while I tried to get the lead to slot in the hole thingy. Next time I will just use mouth.
Should we use the same lead or we can use any other lead
Depend of what is the mechanical pencil lead should be.
@happy color . Is there any refill for the eraser of this rotring ?
Hi Dominique, not sure about it since I don't use the eraser there. I prefer separated eraser.
Hello, I need help unjam my GraphicGear 500 mechanical pencil and I would like to know is their an needle that is meant for mechanical pencil
Tbh I don't know :/
I felt so dumb after watching this, it was so easy lmao thx!!

Thank you for this wonderful information this was very helpful and I use it for so many of my friends and myself
