I have several of these Uni Kuru Toga pencils, and I wouldn't use anything else now! The lead holder rotates a tiny amount each time you press down on the paper while you're writing. You can see this happening by watching the orange section just above the metal section- it has the logo printed in two places, and you can watch it rotate. This way, the writing edge of the lead is always sharp! They are solidly made, and come in a good choice of colours. It's easy to get hold of replacement 0.5mm leads, and I find that HB ones are a good compromise. You can load about 3 replacement leads by pulling off the button & the eraser, and dropping the replacements straight into the tube. There's not a lot more I can say about these pencils, other than that I really like them!

I bought this mainly for crosswords because it's often hard to keep within the squares using a regular pencil. I've tried other mechanical pencils but the line tends to soften the more you write, and the tip tends to break off if you extend the lead too much, so I thought I'd give the Kuru Toga a try, since it's supposed to remain sharp.In that respect it does an excellent job.I can easily write on newspaper without ripping through to the magazine I use to lean on, the point remains sharp throughout, and the letters remain clear and well within the confines of the little boxes. I'd buy one of their more expensive metal ones but I prefer the look of the eraser cover/lead extender on this model (just a personal preference).

Good quality mechanical pencil which never gets blunt. No more having to rotate the pencil in your hand to use the sharper part of the pencil lead! It feels comfortable to hold and grip too. They arrived quickly and in tact.

I like the style of this pen and the way it can self sharpen means l can always get on with my work and not spend time keep sharpening the pencil colour is good too

Easy to write with. Had them before and lasted about 2 years of daily use and you get the leads.
