Product Description

The Kurutoga has a core 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 so that it always remains pointed. This is great for students! It gives you an amazingly thin line. In effect, you use only 50% of the lead area that you were previously using with your old mechanical pencil. In addition, this new Kurutoga is equipped with a pipe slide system.The lead is difficult to break as you write, due to the innovative mechanism. When the core is reduced, the pipe gets shorter at the same time. The guide pipe protects the entire length of the lead. Because there's no lead breakage, your papers remain clean without smudges from broken lead dust.

    How do you load this thing?
    5 Stars
    How do you load this thing?
    I'm trusting the other reviewers who say that this pencil's unique torquing mechanism does wonders for keeping the lead sharp and not elongated at the tip, though I can't say I've seen a huge difference myself yet.But there is one thing you need to know that is not clear on the (Japanese language) packaging: the hole for filling the pencil with lead is under the eraser. Pull the top plastic off. Pull the eraser out. The hole you see there is where you place the lead. Don't try to reverse feed up the tip. It will likely break your lead, rendering the torquing action unworkable. And if you're trying to replace the lead and you click on the top of the pencil but lead doesn't come out, hold the pencil vertically with the eraser at the top. The feed mechanism seems to rely on gravity to move lead through the pencil.
