About Uni-ball 1858549 KuruToga Mechanical Pencil, 0.7mm, 1 Count
Overall Feedback:
74% positive
75% found the pencil weight balanced, but 25% didn't
Despite its extra girth, the pencil is lighter than I would like.
I did not enjoy the very light weight of the pencil.
74% appreciated the refill mechanism, while 26% found it cumbersome
My standard 0.5 mechanical pencil lead broke every 10 seconds, indicating poor refillability.
I noticed that the last half inch of each lead refill goes to waste because of the high position of the gripper/advancer.
The gripper/advancer's high position causes the last half inch of each lead refill to go to waste.
I am dissatisfied with the erasers of this pencil as they are tiny and wear out quickly. Moreover, the refills are expensive.
74% liked the precision for fine writing
0.7mm is a better option for bubbling in scantrons, showcasing the precision of my mechanical pencil.
I am impressed with the precision of my mechanical pencil, especially the auto rotation/advance feature and the included HB leads. The leads are silky smooth on the paper and produce no smudging dust.
75% found the lead variety useful
The rotating lead feels good to write with and works quite well.
I love the lead, it is diamond infused and the nicest lead I have ever used.
75% found the lead smooth
With every stroke of the Kurutoga, the lead rotates to ensure evenness and prevent thicker strokes.
The pencil has a mechanism that rotates the lead incrementally every time I lift it, which is a good solution to the problem of lead movement.
74% praised the lead durability, yet 26% found it broke easily
I have found that the lead does not break at all and is indestructible.
The 'diamond infused' lead is harder to break and lasts longer, making it easier for me to keep writing.
I have not faced any issue with lead breakage.
I love the lead of this pencil, which is diamond infused and the nicest lead I have ever used.

73% liked the grip comfort, whereas 27% found it uncomfortable
The pencil has a green rubber ring that prevents fingers from sliding down and is passably grippy.
The Kuru Toga Roulette model has a knurled grip that provides a secure hold on the pencil.
After using the pencil for long periods of time, it can become uncomfortable due to the lack of grip.
The grip of the pencil is uncomfortable to hold.

74% appreciated the eraser quality, however 26% didn't
The eraser only sticks out 3/16 in, which is absolutely useless.
82% appreciated the clip strength, but 18% found it weak
For me, the pencil has eliminated clip strength problems.
The pocket clip is made of plastic and is likely to be easily broken, which is a weakness of our product.
83% liked the barrel design, but 17% found it unattractive
I am uncertain about the plastic barrel of the pencil, but the company does not offer the 0.7 size in a metal casing.
I have complained about the design of the pencil's barrel and mechanism, specifically the wobble that makes writing experience unstable and off.
