where does one find the instructions for this mechanical pencil?

If there is a broken piece of lead stuck inside, or a short piece, you cannot get lead to advance, or reload new lead. There is a fine pin stuck to the inside of the eraser. You can remove the eraser and use this to clear any broken lead. When the pencil is completely assembled, depress the top as if you were going to advance the lead. Extremely gently insert a new lead, while keeping the top depressed. I always load my 0.3 pencils from the writing end, since the lead is so fragile. All brands of 0.3 lead pencils are difficult, for most people a 0.5 or 0.7, is better. This is probably the best.

I don't see the eraser.,.. How easy is it to expose it? Can you leave the eraser exposed? I typically always do that...

The eraser is located under the silver cap at the top. Being a drafting pencil, the eraser is very small (~4mm) and is designed for fixing small mistakes without erasing anything else. For erasing most mistakes, I would suggest a separate eraser such as the Pentel retractable click (http://www.amazon.com/Pentel-Eraser-Retractable-Assorted-ZE21BP3-K6/dp/B001HA77OO/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1453514031&sr=8-1&keywords=pentel+retractable+eraser) or the Pentel Hi-Polymer Block Eraser (http://www.amazon.com/Pentel-Hi-polymer-Block-Eraser-ZEH10BP3-K6/dp/B001Q4HQVU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1453514058&sr=8-1&keywords=pentel+hi+polymer+eraser)

Some people say that since the tip is retractable it can become wobbly while writing. Anybody else have this problem?

Wobbly may be a bit of an exaggeration but there can be a bit of movement in the tip. I have a two Graph Gear 1000's, one tip has no movement and the other has maybe a 1/2 mm movement. The movement is imperceptible while writing though, at least for me.

Is this mechanical pencil comfortable when used to write for long periods of time? Thanks in advance for any answers.

I use it all of the time and find it quite comfortable. I'm taking multiple classes and use it as my only writing implement in every one- note-taking as well as homework.Good luck!Sam

Los mejores portaminas que he usado

Me ecantaron estos productos, he sido cliente de pentel con las puntillas desde hace años y quise dar el salto a sus portaminas top, están preciosos, antes de comprarlos estuve viendo reviews porque como ya sabrán es esta gama, GraphGear 1000 y Pentel también tiene los GraphGear 500, que era mi otra opción para ahorrarme algo de dinero, he escuchado críticas buenísimas para la gama 500 pero no hablaré de esa porque no la he probado, lo que me tenía pensativo con estos era el peso, había visto que eran algo pesados y no tan cómodos, nada más lejos de la realidad, el peso se siente pero te da un control sobre el portaminas excelente y en ningún momento te llega a cansar, el agarre es fenomenal y el mecanismo es también muy útil para cubrir la punta de metal donde sale la mina, el borrador cumple excelentemente y todos los detalles del portaminas hacen que se vea muy premium, yo uso puntillas de diferentes graduaciones de la misma marca Pentel, su serie de hi-polymer y funcionan a la perfección para dibubar, hacer sketch, sombreado, etc, si estás pensando comprarlos y también estás considerando los GraphGear 500, piensa en el dinero, si tienes dinero para comprarte este pack, hazlo, no te arrepentirás

A set to inspire..(smile)

My son purchased these and states they are of a nice quality, he is delighted with them - but so far I have not seen them only the results of what they can do..he used them to draw a plan of a shed he would like us to buy him..'it will only cost £2500 plus electricity' he said..who's idea to buy him a pencil..(smile)...lets hope the shed is for making inventions, he can use the pencils to draw and make lots of money to pay us back for the shed...(ha..ha...ha...). Who knew buying a pencil set could lead to such great ideas...we are now saving like mad for the shed, well I did not want him sitting in front of an Xbox all day!! Now I cannot promise these pencils will inspire everyone to draw a shed, or have great ideas - but without them you will never know if they could or could not inspire someone to great things..(smile).
