Nothing, I repeat NOTHING, having anything to do with "the shack" is ever recomended! People shop there out of necessity, not desire!

I use a mechanical pencil with refilable leads to unlock mine. It's been going strong for most of a month but I hear something in the graphite or lead decays after about 3 months.

I used pentel brand, HB softness .5mm mechanical pencil lead last night on my Duron. It work with no problems found yet...
