## Description

The Kuru Toga Engine revolves as the pencil is used, rotating the lead, thus keeping it sharp.

Review: Mitsubishi Engineering, in a pencil. - These are the first mechanical pencils I have bought that aren't cheap disposables, at first I was concerned that they wouldn't be worth the price, but gladly they are worth every penny. The pencil itself feels amazing to write with, I'm sure this has to do with the engine inside that rotates the lead as it comes into contact with paper, but it is also very comfortable to hold and is just the right weight. I went ahead and bought this bundle as I knew I would need replacement lead and erasers, and I use the additional pencil to study at my desk so I can always have one in my bag when I'm out. Each pencil comes with 2 leads inside, one loose and one already locked into the tip of the pencil. They are the same nano diamond leads you get in the extra two packs. Which are amazingly durable and the quality of each lead is fantastic. I'd recommend not putting any more than 3 leads max into the pencil at a time or you risk breaking them. I didn't notice such a sharp edge on the lead as it rotated like shown in the images, however this didn't really matter as the pencil always stayed sharp regardless as the engine worked its magic. So even if it doesn't look to be working, just know it definitely does. (you can even look for the logo rotating inside as it moves) The erasers are a little softer than I would have liked, but for me this only became as issue as the eraser neared it's end and began to flake much more, thankfully this bundle comes with 5 replacements. Pros: - Comfortable to hold - Always sharp - Great build quality - Very well designed - Durable lead - Competitive bundle price - Eraser hidden underneath clicker cover - Come in a variety of colours (see other bundles) Cons: - Erasers can be a little too soft - Arrived in well protected bubble wrapped bag, would have liked retail packaging. (this seems to vary from seller to seller) This is a definite grab at such a good price, two great quality mechanical pencils engineered by Mitsubishi, with replacement leads and erasers for around £10. I don't think I'll need to replace these for a long time.
Review: Best pencils I had - I own now three of those pencils, including more expensive yellow aluminium version, that I bought earlier. Those are good as well. Lead rotating mechanism is a game changer, no matter if you write or draw. I have few other mechanical pencils ( definitely more expensive, as at the time I had to order them from Japan) but haven't use them since I got those. One in my backpack, one in pencil case, one on the night stand. Only pencil I'm recommending to anyone who will ask me what to get.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Do you have to push down on the lead tip hard in order for it to rotate?**
A: No, the tip is lightly suspended inside of the pencil, so when you press down, the tip goes in about 1mm and that automatically rotates the lead inside for you.

**Q: Can i use any 0.5mm leads or does it need special ones pls?**
A: I think you can use any 0.5mms leads. It is a great pencil. Leads do last a long time and do not appear to break often.

**Q: How do you insert new leads? Also, mine don't seem to rotate. Is it something you're aware of as I seem to get a flat spot in the lead whilst writing.**
A: To insert new leads - remove the top button then the rubber bung i.e. the eraser, then just drop the leads into the top of the pencil, replace rubber bung and top button then just click the top button until the new lead appears. don't try putting 0.7 leads in they wont work  use only 0.5leads

**Q: Does it come with the original Uniball retail package?**
A: It comes as it is described. Highly recommend. Use mines all the time.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ No more lead breakage. Japanese engineering & quality
*by M***W on 21 April 2021*

The home market for Japanese stationary is very competitive, innovative products of good quality sell well. The Kura Toga range is very popular for good reason. When writing in Kanji fine leads are preferred as the characters are so intricate compared to Western lettering, but there is a problem all 0.3-0.7mm mechanical pencils have - lead breakage. Regular uses of these pencils will be all too familiar with. I use mechanical pencils a lot for technical drawing, sketching & writing, lead breakage is a real pain. Now those smart folks at Uni (Mitsubishi) were tasked to solve the lead breakage problem, first they looked at altering the lead structure which other companies have done but it really didn't make much of an improvement, so they looked at why leads break. In use the end of the lead develops a chisel shape which digs into the paper causing the lead to snap. So they engineered an automatic lead rotating mechanism. No chisel edge, no snapping , brilliant! I consider the Kuru Toga range top class when it comes to use, design, quality & price.
