Uni Kuru Toga Roulette Model Auto Lead Rotation 0.5mm Mechanical Pencil, Silver Body (M510171P.26)

Loving this pencil. I got this because I wanted to start drawing and practicing my handwriting. So far I have no complaints. It writes well fits in the hand great. The eraser is kind of small, but the overall build is very sturdy. I have not had any issues when writing for long periods of time and my writing strokes seem to be very nice. A little overpriced for a pencil, but I don't think I would need any replacements for a very long time.

Beautiful beyond compare. I was looking for a pentel replacement, something nice. Took a chance, and this arrived. Dear goodness, it's a work of art. It's something I'd use to sign state documents. Thank you. amazon et al.

Ok, normally I have to write extended reviews to not only give praise to its features and accomplishments, but also to give a run down on all of their issues and sub par materials. This Mech, I have to say, is one fine pencil. It isn’t just a great design, it is also technically very sound and I found no bad issues whatsoever. The materials used in the build are all high end. The fittings are masterly snug. And even pulling a line with this pencil feels amazing. Holding this mech in your hand, you can feel the significant difference from how most other pencils feel. This Pencil feel high end. The grip is a hybrid of knurling and grooves. The tip is a little on the large size, but the tubular steps are brilliantly sized with the first step down being sized perfectly for those of us who tend to choke up on pencils when going in for the fine detail. The needle tip holds the lead very firm and stable. There is no excessive play in the needle that would cause flex/bowing or lead chattering. For those of you wondering what that means. When a needle has a little too much excessive play inside, the lead can slightly bounce causing a micro chattering effect you can feel. When the needle has way too much excessive play, it causes the lead to flex and bow easily breaking leads often, also causing precision issues when the lead jumps around in the needle during lay down and lift off of paper. This “UNI” mech has none of those issues. The lead spiraling function they added to always help keep the lead stay sharp by spinning, works great. And it has a small window on the grip to show that the function is working inside. The lead advancement is about 0.3 to 0.4mm per click. Making it easier to fine tune the perfect length for individuals. Now this Mech isn’t balanced, but Mechs don’t need to be balanced. Not sure why some people get caught up in feeling they need it to be. So I just go Ahead and add that on my list of check points for others. Although, it never holds weight in my reviews and should never be a deciding factor for any user, just as the erasers on Mechs should never be taken into account. I do reviews for real people, Not little children that gets upset cause they have trouble with, or replacing the erasers that they really don’t need to be using in the first place. Personally speaking, if I was to ever design my own Mechanical Pencil, it wouldn’t even have an eraser. Grow up and buy a separate eraser. Now, let’s get back to the review. This is where I normally have to leave a real complaint about how a clicker head is loose and feels like it moves around to much. But, this clicker head feels ok. Sure it has a small amount of lateral play, but far from being bad. Plus the push clutch feels nice and firm when pushing it in. And I guess I should add that it has a nice strong feeling clip on this mech, though, I will also add that a clip on a mech is another overrated addition people feel the need to care about. I have never found a time that I was glad that my mech had a nice clip. Haha. Your mech should never be slid into your pocket where it would need that clip. This is not a pen. You shouldn’t be just carrying it around like you will need to be signing your signatures with. If it needs to go with you some place, then put it in a closing pencil pouch, pencil roll, case, or something that protects it. Not just shoved in a pocket like a cheap Bic pen. All this aside... let’s finish up this review by letting me tell you that I would highly suggest buying this Mech. I seriously couldn’t really find anything wrong with it. It is easily capable of being on a list of some of the best Mechs on the market. On top of the fact that it isn’t expensive. So you have a great pencil at a great price. This is definitely one to put in your collection. It’s a 5 star Mech.

It's got a great body and grip but doesn't contain a W speed engine. That's probably why it's considerably cheaper than the metal w speed but I didn't realize at the time. Basically, this rotates half as much as their modern engine. Its still better than a non rotating pencil but the difference is considerable and I wouldn't have bought it had I noticed.

Love the look, feel of the knurled grip, and weight of the pencil which adds to the writing experience. Instantly became one of my favorites. Pentel graphgear 1000 and Sakura SumoGrip are my other favs.

I think it's a very good pencil. I have been using it for a while, but my old one broke, so I bought a new one.

Have 5 stars just because it's a cool pencil. Saw something similar on YouTube Shorts and wanted to give it a shot. Works like a normal pencil but spins then graphite as you pick up and write. It's a cool novelty but doesn't really change you're writing all that much. Cool pencil though.

Excellent writing tool, especially for writing in Devanāgarī, which requires much precision, in how it is written.For many years, I used a different brand of Mechanical Pencils, and they broke too often, and weren’t as precise-writing as this one is.I’m very pleased with its performance, and have already bought a second one. Will buy it again, in the future.
