Your cart is empty.The Kurutoga Has A Core Rotation Mechanism That Continually Rotates The Pencil Lead As You Write. A Spring-Loaded Clutch Twists The Lead Incrementally Every Time You Lift The Pencil From The Paper. This Allows A Uniform Wearing Of The Lead So That It Always Remains Pointed. This Is Great For Students! It Gives You An Amazingly Thin Line. In Effect, You Use Only 50% Of The Lead Area That You Were Previously Using With Your Old Mechanical Pencil. In Addition, This New Kurutoga Is Equipped With A Pipe Slide System.The Lead Is Difficult To Break As You Write, Due To The Innovative Mechanism. When The Core Is Reduced, The Pipe Gets Shorter At The Same Time. The Guide Pipe Protects The Entire Length Of The Lead. Because There'S No Lead Breakage, Your Papers Remain Clean Without Smudges From Broken Lead Dust.

This mechanical pencil is the greatest mechanical pencil I’ve ever had. The automatic spinning lead keeps the lead well sharpened for writing purposes. It is made out of high quality material and isn’t as likely to break. The eraser is small but I don’t personally use pencil erasers but separate block erasers. Would recommend if you want a great pencil for writing.

I like this pencil a lot. Mechanism works well, it is a little heavier than cheap pencils which I like. The only issue is the pathetically tiny nub of an eraser on top. It will not last, so you will need more and better eraser. Also, the pencil did not come with extra leads, which is unusual since nearly all others do.

This product is a fantastic find! It's reasonably priced, making it accessible for most budgets without compromising on quality. The product is exactly as described, and its usefulness cannot be overstated. I've found it to be incredibly practical and efficient in meeting my needs. The attention to detail is impressive, and the performance is on par with more expensive alternatives. If you're looking for something reliable, well-made, and at a fair price point, this is the perfect choice. Highly recommended!

Writes well and has held up great to bouncing around in my backpack. Love that you can retract the lead by flipping it upside down and clicking it.

The pencil is comfortable to hold and write with, the lead advances well and I liked the first one so much that I bought a few more.

This pencil is awesome for its price point.I only have two complaints about this product: 1. The rotation mechanism requires a certain amount of vertical pressure to activate. I tend to do a lot of my lettering from a lower angle (pencil at ~ 45º relative to writing surface instead of 90º). This means I'm not activating the rotation mechanism when I hold my pencil like this. 2. The pencil would feel nicer with a bit more weight.Despite those two complaints, I'm still giving 5 stars. I understand there are limitations to the rotating mechanism and I'm fine with them, especially for the price. Additionally, I'm aware that there is another model at a (slightly) higher price point that has a metal and heavy plastic body that would satisfy my weight complaint.Another note: the lead retracts ever so slightly into the body as you write in order to activate the rotation mechanism. The slight slack in the pencil took me a while to get used to, but now that I'm used to it, I don't notice it anymore.Otherwise, this pencil rocks. It's a powerhouse for the price and functions exactly as intended. The clear window to see the mechanism is helpful to see if you're writing at the correct angle to engage the mechanism; plus, it looks awesome. The included lead and eraser are smooth and feel high quality. My lead is always sharp and my handwriting looks much more consistent than ever before. I would definitely recommend this pencil or another in the Kuru Toga product line.

The Twist-Erase and Pentel Sharp Kerry mechanical pencils owned this heart since 2009. My only complaint: the need to deliberately break the point at times to re-awaken sharpness. The older Kuru Toga models were better on that score, but reliably uniform sharpness throughout a page proved elusive. That scenario ultimately landed me on this page.Arriving a few hours prior to a webinar, this mahhhhvelous instrument proved it's delightful prowess as I wrote pages of notes. This pencil may not be as ultra comfy as the Kuru Toga Alpha Gel models, but the sharpness factor rules supreme. The Alpha Gel's squishy grip spoiled me, so I'm adjusting—with a smile! No hassles, at all, with the rotating mechanism. The sleeve extended as expected throughout. Indeed, after a few minutes of writing, I forgot about it.I'm sticking with 5 stars despite the laughable eraser. No way this munchkin is worthy of the 3 syllables of its name. I cured that problem with a Campus 2B eraser (JetPens), since I use only 2B lead. (Worth the hassle: erasures are super clean, no smudges, no paper trauma, & a minimal debris trail!). My plan now is to grab a few more of these gems, so the pencil will be situated at each of the prime spots in the house, my EDC bag and car. Ditto the Campus erasers. Unbeatable combo, especially since I'm a faithful bullet journaler who prefers pencilled rapid-logging.Special note: The pencil appeared to be stocked with only 2 (HB) leads. After popping off the eraser, I opted to drop in only 2 2B leads. Didn't want to risk jamming it, as I imagine the hallmark mechanism is somewhat sensitive. And, I'm using the Kuru Toga lead. Not sure if that's the reason, but despite being a masher (heavy handed), I experienced no lead breaking.
