uni Kuru Toga Advance Mechanical Pencil 0.5mm (Navy, Auto Lead Rotation)

A significant issue plagues nearly all mechanical pencils—let us clarify. When using a conventional mechanical pencil, the lead tends to wear unevenly, resulting in a slanted, wedge-shaped tip. Depending on how you grip the pencil, each time the lead touches the page, you end up using a different surface area—whether pointy, flat, wide, or thin. This inconsistency can lead to noticeable and unattractive variations in line thickness while writing or drawing.

Enter the Kuru Toga, a solution that addresses this dilemma through a brilliantly designed lead rotation mechanism. This mechanism rotates the lead consistently as you write, ensuring uniform wear. A spring-loaded clutch works to twist the lead incrementally each time you lift the pencil from the paper, which results in a conical tip shape that produces fine and consistent lines.

The Kuru Toga Advance enhances this concept further with its upgraded "W Speed" feature, enabling it to rotate the lead twice as fast as standard Kuru Toga models. While regular Kuru Toga pencils rotate the lead once every 40 strokes, the Kuru Toga Advance completes a rotation every 20 strokes. This means the lead undergoes sharpening at double the pace, ensuring it remains sharp for an extended period.

Additionally, the Advance is equipped with metal components that enhance its performance, making it smoother and more reliable. It also introduces a sliding lead sleeve (or guide pipe) designed to safeguard the lead while writing. As you continue to write and the lead shortens, the sleeve gradually retracts into the pencil, ensuring you can write uninterrupted without the need to click for more lead. This continues until the sleeve becomes too short.

When not in use, the sleeve can fully retract, protecting it from bending or poking through your pocket or pencil case. The Kuru Toga Advance's core rotation mechanism continuously keeps the pencil lead pointed. Each lift from the page triggers the spring-loaded clutch to twist the lead slightly, leading to an even wear that keeps it sharp.

The new W-Speed mechanism ensures the lead rotates at twice the speed compared to the original uni Kuru Toga, delivering exceptional sharpening efficiency. With every 20 strokes, the lead rotates to maintain a crisp, precise tip.

Moreover, the tip features a metal pipe that prevents lead breakage while retracting as you write, carefully exposing just the right amount of lead. The Nano Dia lead, infused with millions of nanodiamond particles and silicone oil, offers remarkable strength, producing lines that are both darker and smoother.

In summary, the Kuru Toga Advance stands out as a remarkable innovation in the world of mechanical pencils, resolving long-standing issues with lead wear while providing users with an efficient, smooth writing experience. Whether you are writing notes or creating art, this pencil guarantees precision and consistency, setting a new standard in mechanical writing instruments.
