## Overview

The uni Kuru Toga Advance 0.5mm mechanical pencil features a cutting-edge W-Speed engine that rotates the lead twice as fast as standard models, ensuring a consistently sharp, conical tip for precise writing and drawing. Its metal sliding sleeve protects the lead from breakage while retracting as you write, allowing uninterrupted flow without manual lead extension. Lightweight and ergonomically designed, this pencil blends durability with sleek aesthetics, making it the ultimate tool for professionals who demand flawless lines and effortless comfort.

## Description

There's a real problem that affects almost all mechanical pencils-bear with us as we explain. As you use a regular mechanical pencil, the lead wears down on one side, forming a slanted wedge-shaped tip. Each time you put the lead to the page you end up using a different lead surface (pointy, flat, wide, thin) depending on how you hold the pencil. This can cause dramatic and unsightly variations in line thickness as you write or draw. The Kuru Toga eliminates this problem with the use of an ingenious lead rotation mechanism that continually rotates the pencil lead as you write. A spring-loaded clutch twists the lead incrementally every time you lift the pencil from the paper. This allows a uniform wearing of the lead to create a conical tip shape that provides a fine, consistent line. This Kuru Toga Advance features an updated "W Speed" mechanism, which rotates the lead twice as fast as standard Kuru Toga pencils so that the lead gets sharpened twice as quickly. Standard Kuru Toga pencils rotate the lead once every 40 strokes, while the Kuru Toga Advance rotates the lead once every 20 strokes. The Advance's mechanism also features metal parts for smoother, more reliable performance. The Advance also features a sliding lead sleeve (guide pipe) that protects the lead as you write. As you write and the lead gets shorter, the sleeve slides into the pencil, getting shorter along with the lead. This means that you can write continuously without clicking to extend more lead, all the way until the sleeve gets too short. The sleeve can be fully retracted when the pencil is not being used, protecting it from getting bent or poking a hole in your pocket or pencil case.

Review: Great mechanical pencil! - It writes surprisingly well. It’s light, comfortable, and smooth. The rotating lead has helped me a lot with my writing and I’m able to write better with it. Only downside is the eraser. It’s short and doesn’t last long. Other then that, I recommend it

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great rotation mechanism
*by H***N on July 31, 2024*

The Kuru Toga Advance pencils have double the rotation speed of the regular Kuru Togas, which is really helpful when taking notes in english. This pencil is still a primarily plastic build, but it's comfortable and looks great!
