I heard about this mechanism and when i searched, i was overwhelmed with the number of models! I chose the one that’s within my budget, and I’m glad it’s a W model! I use 2B leads too, so i guess i was lucky😂

@JetPens Месяц назад

Good choice!

@doraima29 Месяц назад

I loved how Uni Kuru Toga has revolutionized and evolve the mechanical pencil as a whole by offering different models. Some of overengineered with a purpose. But there is something for everyone. Ever since Uni Kuru Toga sold its first mechanical pencil back in 2008. I bought 1 from Maido or somewhere that was available in the US. I use it for exams, and solving problems in math, and when I was going back to school in college especially Accounting and Finance. I just loved it. Then I upgraded to the Uni Alpha Switch and have the Advance at work. These are just awesome pencils. Thank you Jetpens for highlighting Uni's kuru toga.

@mrskimistar Месяц назад

I own one of these pencils, but I didn't know about all these other models. I think I may be in the market for the Dive, self extending lead!!! I love these single product reviews btw. I am a lover of many of the products you sell, but I don't always know why one line may be better for my needs then others. Thanks!

@tardo6555 Месяц назад

I am currently using the Advance Upgrade, but I did order the new Metal version from you last week. It'll be here Monday. Can't wait.

@scorinth Месяц назад

I have the Advance model and use it regularly in the office for sketches and calculations that aren't worth committing to ink. Yes, even in the days of CAD, a lot of engineering work happens with a pencil and paper. 😁 The balance and refined style make it worth showing off occasionally and writing with it is always a pleasure. I only wish the full metal models were available with the faster rotation mechanism. I'd snap one up in a heartbeat!

@OldManPhil Месяц назад

I think the elite also has a faster rotation for English with its metal grip. I just got mine today.

@eyam04 11 дней назад

The pencil mechanism is amazing, yes. But i am more amazed by how you managed to align all the different pencils so neatly for that group shot at 6:45 !! How did you manage that??? 😮

@eric_the_egggremlin Месяц назад

some of y'all in the comments are annoying me, so here's a story about why this mechanism is cool and important. I am neurodivergent. one of my physical symptoms is that I grip my writing tools too tightly and press too hard. (this is why you will see very thick crayons marketed at nd teens+adults, a lot of us have trouble regulating pressure and grip.) I was undiagnosed until 4 years ago, meaning I spent my school years with horrific handwriting, using a pencil with lead that was too thick because at least it didn't break every five letters, having meltdowns when I tried to study because I literally couldn't read my own notes. It is beyond humiliating to realize at 16 years old that *you never learned how to use a pencil correctly.* would this pencil have made me a straight-A student? of course not. would it have been an accessibility aid for me, and thus made school less traumatizing? absolutely. is it also kinda silly for people with excellent motor control to worry so much about Aesthetics that they buy pencils with innovative tech built in for always-precise lines? Yes. anyway, I hope to try one of these some day. ❤️

@hilmyakatsuki1665 Месяц назад

There were Zebra del guard models and Pentel orenz. Del guard can take whatever you give it, while orenz can take slight pressure and take less press for lead advancement. While orenz Nero or advance are relatively new models having auto lead advancement

@CoolSilver 27 дней назад

I love these. I wish they could all be automatic like the Dive. But they are all really nice. Getting me back into writing. I bought a standard but the Advance models are nice with the W Speed engine. I had also picked up an Elite what I assume is the same as the Roulette which gives a nice heavier feel.

@17_raf Месяц назад

@GeneAuyeung 17 дней назад

6:18 The Dive doesn't extend the lead on every stroke, but rather once every so often (like 440 strokes iirc)

@GuagoFruit Месяц назад

Oh damn, I didn't know about the KS mechanisms. I found (in the normal mechanism) that the tip shifts back enough to make the first contact feel just a little bit vague. But for me that was enough to stop wanting to use the pencil. But as promised, it was always sharp so it depends on your priorities.

@JetPens Месяц назад

Yes, that was Videographer-san's complaint too! But the KS version fixed this problem, so she likes that one much more.

@GuagoFruit Месяц назад

@@JetPens yeah! I totally didn't know about it. Imma go look for one today.

@flanthief Месяц назад

@@gauthamtvpm I really like the body of Dr grips. The grip flairs out at the end which helps stop my fingers from sliding down to the tip. Also they have the cutest designs out of most brands I see.

@nobodyinhell6186 20 дней назад

@hilmyakatsuki1665 Месяц назад

Uni tried to sell all of those hence added newer upgrades to the mechanism but with new types of short comings. For example the new ks models doesn't have soft grip or faster rotation. While dive...... Priced way higher and I don't really like the look for outside daily use. Maybe they could've made a new dive model with metal body.
