Troubleshooting

Pencil lead keeps breaking.

Ensure you are not applying too much pressure when writing. The break-resistant lead helps, but excessive force can still cause breakage. Try a different writing angle or grip.

Eraser leaves smudges.

Ensure the eraser is clean. If smudging persists, use a lighter touch or try a different eraser.

Sharpener is not sharpening pencils effectively.

Check the sharpener for any blockages or damage. Ensure the pencil is inserted correctly and that you are turning the pencil, not just the handle. If damaged, replace the sharpener.
