    Great for using grips!
    I really like that it’s fairly cheap and the packaging it came in was awesome! It felt very nice and gave a very good impression of said product, it opened easily one you cut the outer “latch” it will be a very nice addition to my school bag. Do be aware that it really doesn’t have an eraser as far as I can tell but should that be a deal breaker for you just stick to your cheap 50 packs this product isn’t meant for that it’s very good practice just to have an eraser anyways this is an awesome introduction into nice mechanical pencils for people who are trying to get into that hobby (like me) I hope this review finds you well and that you will have a good experience like I did :) (FYI I didn’t rate it five stars on ergonomics as you’d have to add a grip for that as not everyone will find a plain barrel perfect for them but it comes with a good barrel to grip onto anyways)

      One of the best mechanical pencils I have used. Sturdy, led moves smoothly and I like the rotation. Compared to a similar plastic one this is more than worth the slightly higher price.
    • Reviewed in the United States on March 27, 2015
      Color: Gun MetallicSize: 1 Count (Pack of 1)Verified Purchase
      I guess I'll start off by saying I'm a bit of a pencil connoisseur. I've bought plenty of nice pens and pencils, most with some novelty like Dr Grip or Zebra Delguard, and I bought this pencil as a replacement for an old, cheaper Kuru Toga I had used for about a year. Although I purchased this simply as an addition to my collection, since I received this I have hardly used anything else.
      First let me say that Kuru Toga pencils have the best output. It's very difficult nowadays for me to go back to other pencils which result in broader lead strokes, especially when I'm using it for subjects such as physics and calculus where I'm constantly scribbling out tiny symbols and equations. The rotating tip in these pencils significantly does allow for a finer pencil stroke (and incidentally saves lead and paper space).
      Bearing that in mind, this particular pencil is the perfect version of the Kuru Togas. I love everything about it. This pencil has a bit of weight to it, which most mechanical pencils lack. That's not to say it's uncomfortable though. The mechanism in the tip adds enough weight to perfectly balance the pencil right in the center of where it's gripped, and I have literally written hours upon hours nonstop with it in complete comfort. On top of that, the pencil looks absolutely amazing. The shaft is matted black plastic that looks like metal and looks sleek and cool, while the grip is textured and feels and looks great. Everything about it is cool and has a unique aura of class and sophistication.

      My only little irrelevant complaint is that the window which shows the tip spinning is rather small (most other Kuru Togas have windows which wrap around the pencil so you can perpetually see the logo spinning as you write). However, this just adds to the subtlety which makes this pencil so fashionably great.

      So, this pencil is perfect. It feels great, it looks great, and it performs great. The last Kuru Toga I had has lasted now for more than a year, and the quality of this pencil is so fantastic I expect to be using it for years to come.
      It is absolutely perfect.

      Color: Gun MetallicSize: 1 Count (Pack of 1)Verified Purchase
      I use this mechanical pencils in school for high quality writing that looks neat consistent without the need to constantly sharpen. (which is why I use mechanical pencils over standard wooden pencils) This mechanical pencil fulfills this need, some other lower quality pencils I use just don’t do the job as well as the Uni Kuru Toga Roulette.
      Pros
      - The build quality is great
      - The grip is surprisingly comfortable
      - The spinning lead feature is good
      - The design is very nice

      Cons
      - Writing in cursive doesn’t spin the lead
      - You need to press a little bit harder to spin the lead

      Firstly I will state the obvious the build quality is great, and the design of it is slim and sleek without unnecessary parts protruding out. The grip as well feels comfortable as well which I thought wouldn’t be the case after writing for several hours, however I was wrong. However you don’t by this pencil just for the build quality you buy this pencil with the rotating lead in mind. Which I think is implemented finely, however the system isn’t perfect. For instance for cursive writers the spinning of the lead wouldn’t always actuate, and for people who write normally you do need to apply slightly more pressure than just putting the pencil on paper. (You could probably get used to it overtime) Overall if you’re looking to buy this pencil to have consistent writing I think it is a great buy the spinning lead whilst not perfect definitely does as advertised and the build quality is very nice.
      I would definitely recomend this to people who want a high quality mechanical pencil that lasts long, and people who want an extra layer of consistency to their handwriting. As for people who write a lot cursive I don’t think it is a deal breaker that the lead won’t always spin after every letter (mainly because it would still spin after every word, and the pencil still feels great) however due to the price I would maybe consider other similar quality options.

      TL DR
      High quality, designed well, feels comfortable, writes consistently. No huge cons, but takes a little bit of time to adjust the amount of pressure when pressing on the paper when writing to turn the lead, and cursive writers don’t benefit as much from the design.

      Ordentlicher Druckbleistift. Kommt in einer einfachen und leicht zu öffnenden Plastikverpackung.
      Achtung. Keine extra Minen vorhanden. Liegt gut in der und schreibt ordentlich.
      Für den Vorschub benötigt man leichten Druck. Ist man ein Schreiber/Zeichner, welcher nicht fest aufdrückt, muss man mit etwas Druck nachhelfen, ansonsten funktioniert die Drehung sehr gut und man hat immer eine schöne dünne Linie.
      Für den Preis hätte ich mir den Stift aus Metall gewünscht. Preis kommt aber vom Import aus Asien

Il tratto è sempre uniforme e preciso, la finestrella sull'impugnatura mostra la rotazione del meccanismo.

      Color: Gun MetallicSize: 1 Count (Pack of 1)Verified Purchase
      J’utilise le Kurutoga Each Gun Metal depuis quelques semaines et il tient vraiment ses promesses.

      Avantages :

      Mécanisme Kurutoga qui fait tourner la mine automatiquement, donc l’écriture reste nette et uniforme.

      Design élégant et robuste en gun metal, agréable à tenir.

      Grip confortable, même pour de longues sessions d’écriture.

      Mine rétractable, pratique pour le transport.

      Inconvénients :

      Un peu plus lourd que les porte-mines classiques, peut déranger si on écrit longtemps.

      Prix un peu élevé comparé aux modèles standard, mais justifié par la qualité et la technologie.

      En résumé, c’est un porte-mines très pratique et précis, idéal pour les étudiants ou les professionnels qui écrivent beaucoup.
