Uni Kuru Toga Roulette Model Mechanical Pencil, Silver Body

The Kuru Toga Roulette features a ring design on the grip, providing an ergonomic hold and balanced weight. It boasts the same excellent Kuru Toga lead rotation system found inside, which helps address the common dilemma faced by pencil users.

In standard mechanical pencils, the pencil lead is worn down as you write, creating a slanted surface. This can lead to various annoyances. Firstly, the line width may not be uniform, as the sharp point becomes dull over time, resulting in smudgy and thick lines. Secondly, if you start writing with the angled tip, it may scratch or catch on the paper. Thirdly, the different angles at which the pencil lead contacts the paper can often lead to lead breakage.

The Kuru Toga, on the other hand, has a core rotation mechanism that continuously rotates the pencil lead as you write. The lead is twisted through a spring-loaded clutch, which works by incrementally twisting the lead every time you lift the pencil (e.g., during printing words). This allows for a uniform wearing of the pencil lead, ensuring that it always remains as a pointed tip.

Not only does the Kuru Toga solve the problems mentioned above, but it also provides an amazingly thin line. By using only 50% of the lead area compared to a standard mechanical pencil, a 0.3 mm or 0.5 mm Kuru Toga can write incredibly thin lines and experience less breakage than a standard 0.3 mm or 0.5 mm mechanical pencil.

The Kuru Toga series from Uni-Ball Mitsubishi is designed with this core rotation mechanism that can automatically rotate the pencil lead as you write. The lead is twisted through a spring-loaded clutch, which works by twisting incrementally every time you lift the pencil (e.g., during printing words). This allows for a uniform wearing of the pencil lead, ensuring that it always remains as a pointed tip.

In contrast, with a standard mechanical pencil, the pencil initially has a sharp point, but as you continue to write, the point becomes worn down, resulting in smudgy and thicker line widths. Additionally, the angled tip can sometimes scratch or catch on the paper, and the lead is more prone to breakage due to the different positions and angles of the tip.

However, by using the Kuru Toga pencil, you can avoid all these problems. You will effectively be using only 50% of the lead area that you would have previously used with a standard mechanical pencil. As a result, a 0.3 mm or 0.5 mm Kuru Toga will write incredibly thin lines and experience less breakage than a standard 0.3 mm or 0.5 mm mechanical pencil.

The package weight of the Kuru Toga pencil is 1.0 Lbs.
