earasers and lead for mechanical pencils.. do you lose them?

Hi macdingolinger I usually buy them in a set, as in with the extra lead and erasers. I have a pencil box special for them so they dont get lost. I'll usually use them, before i lose them :P But most of the time, I'll loose it somewhere along the line. . I end up buying more mechanical pencils. I currently have 3 mechanical pencils which were quite expensive but of good quality. Have a nice day!

I had a similar experience whenever I utilized a mechanical pencil. I thought I had the lead and the erasers in a safe place. Needless to say, I was more than wrong. The things had the tendency of getting lost. It was more trouble than it was worth most of the time. I just switched to regular pencils and pens after a while. At least, I am able to keep track of those better. They are a nice idea in theory but there can be some frustrating in locating everything.
