Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons
The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

Pen is light, comfortable to hold, and writes very smooth. Even beats out higher priced pencils. Much more colorful rendition, which i greatly enjoy writing up labs and mathematical proofs.

Kuru toga mechanical pencil is the best i have ever owned. The pencil looks very well made and really does rotate!

Rotating mechanism keeps a really nice point. It isn't like a sharpened pencil point but it also isn't a sloped lead point. I am used to pentel's quicker clicker, so the end lead advancement is a bit annoying.



Cons

After using only 5 months it no longer pushes the lead out when being clicked. This is a significant drawback for a pencil that's marketed as having an auto lead rotating mechanism.
