Uni Mechanical Pencil Kurutoga Pipe Slide Model 0.5mm, Blue Body (M54521P.33)

Great mechanical pencil. Not quite sure what else to say. It does a great job. It’s light. Comfortable to hold. Easy to use. I like it!

Easily one of the best value for money mechanical pencils on the market. The 'Pipe Slide' mechanism works beautifully and keeps the sharp side of the lead facing the paper while writing. I initially thought the mechanism would fail after repeated and continual use but Togas I bought years ago are still going strong without missing a beat.Can't mess with Japanese engineering and ingenuity. I only wish they made the in a smaller form factor like the Pentel P200 series.

I have a loathing of plastic pencils and this one is no exception. The pencil works well. In fact Uni Mitsubishi are my favourite pencils. Best of all is the Uni Shift Lock pencil but so expensive. I bought Uni Pipe Slide to find out about the 'new' technology. Will avoid for the future unless Uni M bring out a proper wholesome metal version. My pencils take terrible punishment.

Im not a super mechanical enthusiast. But ive had about 3-4 other brands most of them aluminium and im enjoying this mechanical the most of all the purchases before.I was a bit worried about it being made of a plastic body but its light weight, very sturdy and super comfortable.I use most days to scribble down sketches and write down notes at work.Im also pretty clumsy, dropping and stepping on this thing all the time and its not breaking or cracked. had it for a while now.The lead it from them also seems to stay in once piece as well which is super nice.really recommend this.

A very good mechanical pencil with a B or 2B lead. The end retracts so no sharp perforations in the pocket. An absolute joy to use. Magnificent. Now this has a retractable pipe (silver metal bit at the end) which is pocket safe. Not all kurutogas are like this.

Not much heavier than a standard pencil, comes with pre installed lead so you can use it straight out of the packet. Very sleek and professional looking, this is my first mechanical pencil and can see this easily replacing my regular sketching pencil.

This is a Dream Pencil and perfect for people who have difficulties sustaining a fine gripor have pain writing! Wonderful!

Bought this after reading lots of reviews. A great pencil, but once the cap was lost (it's colourless so easy to misplace) it was very difficult to extend the lead.Recommend the pencil, but colour the eraser cap so yours doesn't get lost too.
