The .3 pentel was a mistake :( Whats would you add here?
The metal uni and the orenz are amazing!
I'm planning to buy a zebra delguard type er but i couldn't find a place that sells replacement erasers in India. Would be really helpful if someone could provide me with a trustworthy source to buy those. I'll buy the pencil if i get a source to buy refil erasers
I just got this new uni kuru toga advance and can’t wait to use it!
I'm really new to mechanical pencils and just purchased a Staedtler 925 25 Mechanical Pencil with 0.7 lead but I can't find any videos on Youtube or any instructions anywhere showing you how to install new lead. WTH Staedtler!!!
thanks in advance.
The 0.35mm has been great for drawing diagrams and writing equations. I started with the 0.5mm but always wanted a 0.35mm. I didn’t realize one existed until recently. It’s been discontinued so I had to find it from a second source.
First time getting a original p200 design from pentel and first 0.9 lead size!
My collection as senior year computer science student.
Possibly unpopular opinions: Pentel smash: overrated. It was my main driver for months but the coating wears down way too quick and becomes a shiny plastic, had to buy another one after a few months. Also not that comfortable.
Delguard type-GR: my main driver (even over the dive). Just extremely comfortable to hold, grip is elite and weighting is perfect for me. Beats alpha gels grip by miles.
kuru toga advance: can’t hate on a solid metallic pencil for very cheap price. Though the grip is uncomfortable after a while and I can’t use it for long periods
Overall, Uni’s drivers are great and pentels and rotring build quality is good - but I’m a champion for Delguard, their grips are the best out of all the brands I’ve tried (the weighing on them might be my preference only).
Been using this Kokuyo 0.7 on my projects like, wood working and tile cutting... No need to worry about it getting dirty or broken because it's very rugged. Keeps the job done!
I saw someone else post about these “kimono colors” available but sold out on Amazon a while back and meant to go check on the availability every so often but completely forgot until recently.
They arrived!
These may be my favorite colors yet!
(I do like the metallic colors and the clena as well)
I've had this for a long time now and the rubber isn't sticky at all. Need to find an eraser replacement soon though, this one held up over 5 years without drying up.
I love seeing other peoples posts on here, so I decided to finally post something of my own!! Ive been collecting pencils for 2 years and my collection is pretty modest (I’ll post it soon), but these are my favourite pencils so far and are the ones that never leave my pencil case :] Left to right: Faber-Castell Grip 1345 0.5mm, Pilot Dr. Grip CL 0.5mm, Pilot Graphgear 1000 0.5mm and 0.7mm, Rotring 600 0.5mm
