Uniball Kuru Toga M5-1017 0.5mm Mechanical Pencil | Auto-Rotating Lead Mechanism | Replaceable Push Button Eraser | School and Office stationery | Gunmetal Body, Pack of 1

Kuru Toga is my favourite mechanical pencil. It is a perfect writing and drawing instrument.A beautiful thing too. Love the weight of it. High quality materials. Feels cool to hold.Nothing beats Uniball writing instruments.Problem was that Amazon left the package without ringing the bell. I own the silver version and love that thing.

(REVIEW AFTER 5 YEARS)This pencil is amazing, it's my favourite product in my whole drawing kit, built quality is awesome. This pencil has fallen off couple of times from my table, no issues I can see so far.I recommend using 4B 0.5 leds in it as they are slightly soft and drawing with them feels really satisfying.The weight is more than the normal pencils we use but you'll get used to it pretty fast.

Good pencils but too much pricey

Approved. Good grip, nice material, convenient mechanism. Recommended to all who need a sturdy 0.5 mechanical pencil

I purchased this pencil after extensive research, including watching several review videos on YouTube (they almost gave me a PhD).The pencil is a thing of beauty. It's comfortable to use in terms of ergonomics: slim but not too slim, the grip is strong and the rest of the body is smooth as it glides on my fingers as I write. Also very smooth, though substantial credit for that goes to my 2B pencil leads.The highlight of this pencil, of course, is the "roulette" mechanism that keeps the pencil lead rotating by a small angle every time the lead touches the paper: this ensures that you get a fresh (non-beveled) side of the tip every time you put it down to write. I was a little skeptical because I thought that in order to do that the pencil lead will have to move substantially, but when I actually started using it, I saw that the the dip is practically imperceptible. There's a little orange window showing you the rotating mechanism.Also, in some reviews I read people say that it is good for people who sketch or write in printed (non-cursive) letters but not so much for curve writing. Well, I see your point, it does have some merit to it. But I write almost exclusively in cursive and prefer the pencil to a pen wherever I can choose, and I still see and appreciate the freshened tip for every new word.I love this Uni Kurutoga Roulette Mechanical Pencil. You will, too, if you like writing with mechanical pencils. Most probably.

Nice

Weight: It's a little bittle heavy but,okQuality: The quality is very good its bodyparts were made up of metal.plastic is there that is inside andat the tip and bottom.Overall it's value for money

The product is of good quality, I love the grip the design and everything. But any sane person would pay no more than Rs. 600 for such product. It is the same price as a pentel graphgear 1000 and i have that too, just to say the graphgear is wayy better than this in every way other than the Kuru Toga movement mechanism. If you want a pencil with which you write almost on a daily basis, go with it not going to stop you. I can't really assure the quality other than the review someone wrote after using thif for 5 years. If you have the money you can go with it because it is not a bad product and if you are saving for this DEFINETLY DO NOT GO FOR THIS. There are many other pencils for the "daily use" category like the zebra delguard or just the base kuru toga. There is no need to purchase such an overly glorified mechanical pencil even if you want it to last, buy cheap one like the ones i have said and the only think I would like to say about this is that IT IS NOT VALUE FOR MONEY. (It is a resin or plastic structure, Not Metal!)
