Pros

Beautiful writing tool, one of my favorites. By far my favourite pencil. The pencil is on the heavier side compared to other mechanical pencils, but this also gives the pencil a better presence in one's hand.

Best feature is the retractable tip that protects the lead when the pencil is in your pocket or shop apron. Significant improvement over bic disposable - leads are much more sturdy.

Overall, the cost of the product is easily shadowed by its design quality, thus proving to be a worthwhile investment. The only downside is that there are more beautiful looking options out there.



Cons

The pencil has no packaging whatsoever and was bare *. The lead also gets jammed quite often. For these purpose, these are absolutely impractical to say the least.

Quality


It writes very well, the build quality is amazing, and very comforting to hold.


Quality all-metal construction, good grip, good weight distribution.


I was hoping to make it seem a bit more special as a gift and am very disappointed.


9 for writing mostly and the 0.

Price


I love the fact that the price is reasonable.

Shipping


I assume that shipping likely led to the very mild damage.

Competitiveness


If you don't have the pentel graphgear 1000, you'll never know the meaning of life.


The pentel graphgear 1000 is a pretty nice mechanical pencil.

    Has light lead that doesn’t smudge at all


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    It also doesn’t have a lot of pencil grade indicators although it has more than its 0


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Finally it isn’t as good at maintaining the same point as the kuru toga roulette model nor is it as good at break resistance


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    For that reason the kuru toga is better at detail work and is a lot more versatile in art


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    However the kuru toga does have some problems that make this pencil better in general


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    For instance the graph gear 1000 travels better is better at work or in class while the kuru toga is better in the studio


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I will later update this review as i am trying to find the best mechanical pencil i am waiting for my kuru toga roulette and my rotring 600 to arrive


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    If they were a bit larger i may not experience that so much
