uni-ball KURUTOGA MECH PCL .7MM CD

amazing

It's very smooth and overall of good quality

Price is high but good quality

I was surprised at this product. It’s a good company usually. This pencil broke in half

Uniball kurutoga 0,7 mm, scrive in modo perfetto, la rotazione della mina ad ogni pressione garantisce in modo efficace la continuità ed uniformità del tratto. Unica pecca é che la matita é un po' leggera per come scrivo io, ma nulla toglie alla qualità complessiva.

Heel lekker potlood voor aantekeningen en schetsen. Echter is binnen een jaar de plastic buitenhuls gebroken, dat valt tegen.

I lived in Japan for many years and greatly enjoyed buying and using all of the wonderfully engineered tools, cooking implements, knives, consumer electronics, etc. Japanese people love precision and great clean design, and mechanical pencils ("sha-pen" in Japanese) are heavily used. By professionals, captains of industry, artists, and school children. My Japanese teacher turned me onto them, great for precision writing of Kanji. I think the Japanese affinity for them stems from the similarity to sumi-e (charcoal) writing implements traditionally used to write Kanji characters. I don't recall these Kuru Toga pencils from when I was there, I might have been using them all along and didn't realize what I had. Anyway, I just bought this one from Amazon and fell in love with it instantly. For a piece of consumer goods that costs less than $6.00 the engineering and design of this thing is a marvel. Might sound funny but it is beautiful to look at. Smoke translucent high gloss plastic barrel, neon green grip and eraser cap, chome-look tip, ridges molded into the end to make it easier to grip. The auto rotation/ auto advance of the lead works perfectly as expected. To test it I started writing and could not stop. The included HB leads are for me, the perfect balance of darkness and hardness. Silky smooth on the paper and they produce no dust that will smudge. I spent the day today at work, writing with a 0.5 mech pencil (not one of these, just a standard one) and the lead broke every 10 seconds literally. Snap, click to advance. Snap, click to advance. Snap, click to advance. Frustration. Got home, opened this up and just wrote a lot and have not broken the point once. Includes a starter pack of HB 0.7 leads and 3 erasers (one installed and two spares). The pencil itself had about 3 leads pre-installed so get this "starter set" and you'll be good to go for a long time. Amazon sells a 40- pack of the 0.7 leads as an "add-on" item for a couple of dollars if you spend more than $25. Love this sha-pen. Must. Concentrate. On. Not. Losing. It.

Nice product

Happy with the pencil, looks well made
