  • ART SUPPLIES
  • Product Description

    Say goodbye to dull and frequent lead breakage with the engineered design of the uni-ball KuruToga Mechanical Pencil. This mechanical pencil features an exclusive rotating lead mechanism that resists lead breakage and maintains a continuous sharp point. Simply put--as you write, the pencil continuously rotates and sharpens the lead. Unlike regular mechanical pencils that produce thicker, lighter lines after a few uses, the KuruToga stays sharp, so it produces the same thin, dark line that you start out with, making your handwriting clearer and more precise. What’s even better is that the KuruToga contains exclusive diamond-infused lead. It not only improves your writing experience, but also creates dark vivid lines.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Mechanical Excellence!
    Reviewed in the United States on May 10, 2016
    [[ASIN:B0026ICM1E uni-ball KuruToga Mechanical Pencil Starter Set (1751934)]]

    I'll start with a general list of highlights for those who want the short and sweet overview:
    - Very lightweight, ergonomically designed, and aesthetically pleasing
    - "Diamond infused led" (significantly stronger than regular 0.5)
    - Rotating led to prevent breakage
    - Clearer and cleaner writing
    - "Starter Pack" includes two additional erasers and extra led at a great price
    - Left-hand friendly!
    - Eraser cap for sleek look

    Room for Growth:
    - Light pencil grip cushion
    - Wider/larger eraser

    I am a true office supply aficionado; constantly on the hunt for innovations to make my student life more livable. I prefer to take hand-written notes whenever possible because it facilitates improved memory and integration of ideas. One of the areas that I struggle with most however, is identifying products that are error-friendly. In other words, writing tools that are erasable. Pencils are an obvious choice of course, but finding options that are comfortable and efficient can be a challenge.

    The Uni-Ball Kuru Toga Pencil (0.5 mm led) is FANTASTIC! The 0.5 mm diamond-infused led is so much stronger than conventional mechanical pencil led. I often need 0.7 or 0.9 to accommodate my firm writing style. The Kuru Toga allows for a thinner and darker pencil line by preventing the lead from snapping in half. The note on the package also indicates that the led rotates while in use to prevent breakage, and this is absolutely true!

    The two areas for growth include:
    Increased eraser size (both in circumference and length) and a very thin pad for pencil-grip. As described above, I erase, a lot. I can burn through a pencil top eraser pretty quickly, so the bigger the better.
    Also described above, the pencil is incredibly light weight, and a grip pad is non-essential, but I can imagine it would be important for some folks. I actually prefer the aesthetic of the pencil without any kind f grip pad; it's much more sleek and streamlined.

    It can be challenging to get excited about pencils in this day and age, but the Kuru Toga has managed the feat.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Portaminas excelente con una característica única: KuruToga Engine.
    Reviewed in Mexico on August 3, 2017
    He tenido la dicha de probar distintos portaminas de diferentes marcas, la mayoría de ellos de lineas profesionales y de fabricantes reconocidos. Por eso mismo puedo decir que he sentido distintas sensaciones al usar este portaminas en particular. Pues si los otros eran similares por no decir idénticos en cuanto la sensación al escribir o dibujar, este Uni-ball viene a cambiar las cosas de una manera positiva.

    Pero antes de llegar a eso hablaremos de los materiales y contenido. Como tal están bien, es plástico básicamente en toda su totalidad. No esta mal el agarre y los materiales se sienten bien, es buen plástico. Por el precio que cuestan te incluyen minas y repuestos de borrador, que si bien no es mucho o no se ocupan (puesto que si buscas un portaminas profesional posiblemente también compres un borrador y minas al mismo nivel aparte) al menos te sirven para alguna ocasión. Es innegable por que por esos 115 pesos (cuando yo lo compre, y puede estar mas barato aun) aproximadamente que cuesta este portaminas, es posible acceder a un Pentel Graphgear 500 que ya tiene su agarre metálico y construcción en el mismo material, y no es que sea malo, si no que es mas pesado y solamente te entregaran el lápiz sin mas. Con este portaminas si bien hubiera sido algo bueno que usaran materiales mas resistentes, debo decir que a la vez me quedo con el plástico por su ligereza y practicad. a final de cuentas el precio lo vale debido a esa característica especial que ya mencione de la que hablare a continuación.

    KuruToga Engine, la delicia de este portaminas. No vengo a hablar con tecnicismos sobre como se compone este mecanismo o como esta hecho, pero si puedo explicar en palabras simples como funciona. Lo que hace este mecanismo es simple; a medida que usas portaminas, el portaminas se encarga de girar la mina de forma que quede pareja y en forma de cono (esto solo lo notaras cuando lo veas con tus propios ojos de cerca, en las fotos es meramente ilustrativo). Sonara simple, pero al menos para mi se noto la diferencia inmediatamente. Aparte de que el portaminas tiene recubrimiento para la mina, esta jamas se me ha roto, y la forma cónica ayuda a que los trazos que hago se mantengan constantes, es decir, que la intensidad de negro se mantiene igual y las lineas no se deforman por la forma de la punta, al contrario, se mantienen estables. Yo lo uso para dibujar y de vez en cuando escribir y se siente diferente a todos los demás portaminas debido a que este te da una soltura tremenda a la hora de trabajar; no sientes que se trabe el portaminas y la punta se desliza suave y libremente sin problemas, como su fueras mas rápido. Ahí es donde KuruToga Engine entra en acción.

    Para mi este lápiz mecánico es una pasada, no es especialmente caro y es muy practico, no esta hecho de materiales lujosos y a pesar de eso es de mis portaminas favoritos y de los que mas uso por arriba de los Pentel y Sakura. Vale todo lo que cuesta; espero que si lo llegas a comprar puedas notar esa diferencia que yo note, seguramente te va a gustar. ¡Es perfecto! Te lo recomiendo.
