LOVE these pencils and have been using them both at home/office at least since 2015! The ONLY problem is lack of lead/eraser refill options; unlike other PM mechanical pencils. What act does Congress have to pass for SOMEONE at PM to take action?

Kids took the pencils apart. How do I reassemble them?

<div class="bvseo-answer" data-answerid="8180096">
Hello, Thank you for your inquiry about our Triangular Mechanical Pencil Set. To reassemble your pencils, insert the lead sleeve into the barrel, ensuring it aligns with the internal grooves. Press the click mechanism into place at the top, then add the eraser cap. Finally, test the pencil by pressing the eraser, if the lead doesn&rsquo;t advance, double-check the alignment of the clicker. If you have more questions, or you require assistance, please reach out to us via the &quot;Contact Us&quot; form on our official website. We&rsquo;re available Mon.-Fri. 9am -5pm Eastern Time. Thank you! Paper Mate Consumer Care.

It would be nice if a) the erasers were white, which make erasing mistakes cleaner and easier and b) eraser and lead refills were available for purchase separately. I know neither of those are an option at this time.
