About SAKURA SumoGrip Pencil with Comfort Grip
Overall Feedback:
80% positive
73% found the pencil weight balanced
I find the pencil very comfortable to write with due to its lightweight and larger barrel.
73% appreciated the refill mechanism
I liked the fatigue-relieving grip of the pencil when I had it several years ago.
I appreciate the refillability of this mechanical pencil as it does not snap or mush and does not require refilling to use.
This pencil is easy to refill with graphite and eraser at any pace, unlike other mechanical pencils that are difficult to refill.
70% found the lead smooth, but 30% encountered issues
The .9 lead is of good quality and does not snap or mush, so there is no need to refill it.
The lead movement of my mechanical pencil is poorly designed. I tried to put 6 pieces of lead in there to avoid refilling frequently, but they all jammed in a circle around the feed tube.
73% praised the lead durability, yet 27% found it broke easily
I have a pencil with a thicker lead that doesn't snap easily while writing.
I don't have to constantly pump lead out because of the thickness of the 0.9 lead.
Lead pencils run out of lead quickly and are of poor quality.
89% liked the grip comfort
The grip of the pencil is what makes it special. My friend's sumo grip pencil is satisfying to hold with a nice squishy feel. It holds perfectly in your hands, allows you to hold it without having hand cramps, and it is hard to go back to a thin pencil after using it for awhile.
I find the gripper soft, comfortable to hold, and squishy.
I find the pencil very comfortable to hold, which helps me have excellent handwriting and makes me very happy.
The size and shape of my pencil help with my carpal tunnel syndrome and the grip is very comfortable and gets softer with time.

79% liked the barrel design, but 21% found it unattractive
The pencil has a nice design with a twisty eraser on the top instead of the standard ones that fall out.
The pencil has a larger barrel for easier holding and a cushiony rubber grip to relieve callous pain.
The barrel is too thick for my hands.
