I always bought new pencils whenever this happened. Today I thought I should maybe watch a tutorial about it? I'm so glad I came through this video. It definitely changed my life
Another thing that can happen is that the narrow tip gets bent “ever so slightly” which breaks the lead as it goes into it. It can be straightened however…
@@Honda_Kiku I don't know if this will work for everyone but i just pressed it in the wall firmly until it was straight, but please be careful because i won't know if your mechanical pencil would break but it worked for me
I got a nice old mechanical pencil from my dad. Older than me. Able to survive a war. And dumb old me stuffs a too big lead in there. I swear I thought it was a definite goner & started watching with incredible scepticism... But about halfway through the video, it came out! Thank you! :D thank you for helping me save my pencil!
I just purchased a graphgear 1000 .3 and was struggling with it because the lead wasn’t advancing properly. I watched your video, exposed the clutch which I simply wiped clean and voila! As soon as I engaged the clutch again the lead magically appeared! I put it all back together, and the problem is gone (until next time.) Thank you for your clear instructions. I feel confident that if it happens again I’ll know how to fix it. I am the master of my mechanical pencil!
THANK YOU!!! I know that you posted this video about 3 years ago according to the UA-cam post and may never see this but I just wanted to sincerely thank you for this video. I have been trying to load lead into my Pentel Orenz 0.2 pencils which both jammed. I found about six or seven videos before yours which were of no real help. None of them explained what the little "metal thing" stuck into the eraser was but yours and I needed it to unclog my pencil. This was a great video. Thank you so much for taking the time to make it.
@@unsharpen It really did help. And as a fellow UA-camr, I'm always flabbergasted that people would give a video like yours a thumbs down. Some people just don't get it. 🤬😄I mean, I'm sure you've learned that it's just par for the course, but still... Anyway, thanks again.
My 10-year-old Rotring clutch pencil gave me trouble for the first time, and it almost broke my heart! It’s been with me like a close friend through countless exams. Thanks to your video, I was able to fix it and bring my old Rotring back to life. Thank you so much!
Hey THATS MY PENCIL!!! Well dude, you spent time you DID NOT have to, to educate me on what’s wrong. Excellent job & I’m back in business. GREAT VIDEO.
Super informative and simple video. Thank you!! I was able to unjam my Pentel Graphgear 1000 (.5) after finding out that the problem was in the unscrewable portion. I don't have a cleaning rod; Instead, I used some very thin jewelry wire and it fit and fixed the problem like a charm.
Thank you for this! I couldn’t get the lead to advance in a Muji .3, and followed your steps. When I opened that collet/clutch, some tiny pieces of lead came tumbling out, and it cleared the whole thing.
Wow thank you so so much! I was just about to throw out my favourite clutch pencil because I thought it was broken, turns out there was a piece of lead stuck in it! You’re a life saver!🥹
Thanks for this! Also, anyone who is or who knows a guitarist will have access to the spare lengths of guitar string which get snipped off when changing them. The top three strings can be used as makeshift tip cleaners of varying sizes, depending on the gauge of the string set. I just rescued my 0.3mm Graphgear 1000 using the B string of an Ernie Ball Super Slinky set.
Thank you for the great tutorial. I had a Pentel Twist Erase mechanical pencil that jammed. I almost gave up and the bottom half was literally in the trash can before I watched your video. The jammed bottom half was retrieved and I found out the bottom piece could be unscrewed to reveal the clutch. That was cleared out and my pencil was revived. Many thanks!
I bought a Kurutoga Mechanical pencil and it jammed on me during class. Got home and watched this and found out that there was a problem with the clutch. Awesome stuff saved me and my pencil o7
thanks a bunch, just got myself my first set of nice mechanical pencils and immediately jammed the .05 before i finished my first drawing, this was super helpful
I tried sowing needles....sowing needles are the exact size of the tip so it didnt work, of which im guessing is like a .4mm or .3.555mm. If youre using a .3mm mech pencil. They want you to buy extra stuff.
@@introgauge Sewing pins come in thicknesses too. Pins for silk are less thick, perfect for .5 size lead hole. These would be pins not for actual hand sewing, but the kind that just hold cloth together, so there is NO EYE for the thread. Instead of an eye, there will be like a tiny head or a tiny round plastic ball at one end. So dig through your mom's, your sister's, or your own sewing kit.
Finally I got the right word choice on U-tube and having found your video I have got my Pilot to work again. Only hope that sometime, someone will be in that dilemma and I can help them, as you helped me. THANKS
Hi thank you i was in art class this morning and i got really sad when this pencil stopped working, but after watching your video ive fixed the jam, if you dont have a pencil cleaner you could use, cheap earrings, and a safety pin
Thanks bro you made my day.I literally thought I was hopeless,but I thought I can do a try then it literally just fixed.I am a beginner and that became a history of my first mechanical pencil
Thanks a lot. I just bought new rotring 0.35 online and when it came i was si frustrated because i couldn't get the lead out. Now that i found your video, it works again. You've saved my new pencil!
Thanks Bro. Helped me to solve the puzzle with my Mont Blanc mechanical pencil. No idea regarding the use of the cleaning rod before this video. That one did the trick.
Excellent Video. Mine had a tiny piece that was stopping the pencil from functioning. Didn't have a cleaning rod per say but used a hair pin and it did the trick. Thanks again
Dude, thank you so much. I have the pentel GRAPHGEAR 1000 and I was not looking forward to buying a new one. This video allowed me to fix it and save $16. It helped that that was one of the ones you were working on lol
Tks for all your efforts making this video!. I have the Pentel 500 Mech Pencil. It appears that the Pentel 1000 is more advanced than the 500. I purchased the 500 at Hobby Lobby in store a couple of years ago. Yesterday I took it apart following your video and still cannot get the lead to come thru. I'm becoming a little frustrated cause I'm sketching a picture of my latest Grandchild and I need my Pentel to work. My usual good solid patience is wearing down; I have a deadline for this project and at this time cannot afford to make more purchases.I wish we could send photos to youtubers' my problem is probably something simple that I'm leaving out. Tomorrow's another day and my mind will be fresh again at dawn. And maybe you can advise something else. Many Blessings to you and your helping others :)
thanks for making a video about this ordinary common trouble, cuz it actually happens a lot. I had bought a expensive mechanical pencil which was pretty and i really enjoyed it, but since i always used 0,7 mm pencils, i mistook that new pen (0,5mm) as 0,7 and had probably got things stuck. it was yesterday, but after i had a good nap after school, i tried to repair it again and it worked! Just telling my story in case someone is also having trouble. You will fix it! mechanical pencils dont break that easily, it will get alright
Thank you! A soon as you mentioned I can push back part of the clutch my problem was solved. Damn thing decided it wants to keep the previous piece of lead.
Thanks, that did the trick. I did notice in my GraphGear 1000 that there is actually a little rubber tip in the 2nd layer front metal piece. This tiny rubber piece allows a little friction so leads don't just fall out each time you press the back to advance the lead. This was miss-aligned, and I gently pulled it out by the lead that was halfway through it, and dropped it straight in so the lead popped through the front. Then I followed the other steps you outlined and reassembled the pencil. Works fine now. Thanks!
can i ask how did you do it? I also saw a small rubber here on the tip, now when I push the rubber comes off. I put it on over and over again but I don't know how to stick it
@@darleneselboza3539 Hi Darlene - I've had a lot of practice since that last post about a year ago. First - know that when the lead gets too short - either near the end or broken - the pencil stops working in terms of pushing lead holding firm out the tip. So, at that moment, you need to remove the metal housing, and remove the old lead which is stuck halfway out the rubber insert. You can use the wire rod made for this purpose found in the eraser. Next step, with the metal tips all off, is to carefully release a new lead from the barrel about two inches - without breaking it. Very tricky. You have to push down on the top button to release, and at the same time, your other hand pushes back the collar (sleeve around the clutch in this video) at the exposed jaw tip. The lead will slide down. Now with two inches exposed- you super-carefully insert it through the rubber tip and out the front end of the inner metal insert. Then screw that back on, not breaking the new lead. Re-assemble the outer sheaths. A lot of words here, I hope it helps a little. I'll have to do my own video on this, I think. Get used to this process and it's not too hard. It's the price you pay for the .3mm pencil fine-ness.
Pentel p207 using .7 HB #2 BIC lead. 1cm long piece of led was wedged a bit diagonally at the top of the clutch. I straightened out a paper clip to be as even as I could get it, removed the tip and held the button down, stuffed the straightened paper clip down the clutch and the lead came out. Not sure about every pencil but that worked for mine
After following your excellent instructions on 3 mech pencils for an hour. I had no success. It was in all 3 cases the nozzle that was blocked but no amount of attempts to unblock with the device provided in one of them. As these have been in my pencil tray unused and unusable for years they are now in the trash.
I've thrown away so many mechanical pencils because of a clutch jam due to a piece of lead! Thanks for this video! My mechanical pencil has been saved!
THAKN YOU THANK YOU SO MUCH. I fixed my rOtring Pro 0.7. About to throw it away for a few months. Subbed now. rOtring is my life Edit: Now back to vocab homeworks
thank you soooo much!!! i was getting really hopeless and then i came across this video and it honestly helped a lot!!!! the trick you did with the clutch helped get out more pieces of lead than i imagined would have been there and then the part about clearing the top piece helped me see a piece of lead that i had overlooked by mistake and was quite wierdly placed , that i am now wondering how it even got like this
Yoo! I have the 0.3 500 and I just used the clutch and lead to push back the clogged tip from the front. This works perfect if you don’t have a cleaning rod but a steady hand.
mine got jammed somehow by this black thing, it looks like a minecraft hopper, i still have it just in case if it's part of the pencil, it feels like rubber and is very small, do you know what it is?
You saved me money. I almost threw my mechanical pencil out and buy another one. It turns out my clutch was jammed with small pieces of lead. I took a pin and poked it through the clutch. It spat out little pieces of lead. You got me out of a jam! (Pun intended. LoL!)
don't buy a cleaning rod, i used a sewing needle, much cheaper. but this exercise works, once the clutch gets pushed back, any stock pieces of lead will release. THANKS unsharpen!
Thank you so much for making this video! Helped me so much, I bought this mechanical pencil yesterday and then it suddenly stopped working and I figured it was jammed so thanks
oh my pepper! thank you for this tutorial, i was about to cry coz i thought i completely destroyed my papa's 19 yr old mechanical pencil 😭😭😭 i was just using it coz i'm writing some notes and then it suddenly just stop working, w/o this tutorial i probably going to face my papa's rage once he find out that i broke it , haha
