Uni Kuru Toga High Grade Auto Lead Rotation 0.3mm Mechanical Pencil, Blue Body (M3-1012)

Q: Erasure refill Question: What size do I need to buy for this pencil?

i bought this one Uni Mechanical Pencil Eraser Refill C (SKC) and its the same one that's in the pencil

Q: Does this model come with the rotating lead mechanism?

Yes it has the rotating mechanism , I think this model has the highest quality among the Kurutoga series.

Q: What should I do if the lead won't come out? I refilled it and it doesn't seem to want to come out.

There could be a few different reason. One: did you refill with the appropriately sized lead? the 0.5 lead pencil must be refilled with 0.5mm lead and the 0.3 lead pencil must be refilled with 0.3mm. If you refilled the 0.3 pencil with 0.5 lead, the lead will be too large for the mechanism to catch. Two: Could there be a broken piece of lead in the lead sleeve (tip of the pencil). This could be causing a jam. If there is, use another piece of lead to push the broken bit out. Three: It does take a few clicks for the mechanism to catch the new lead and feed it into the tip. If you've been clicking a lot and there's nothing come out it could be the other two reasons. Otherwise, keep clicking and eventually the mechanism will catch the leadFour: Was the pencil dropped? If the tip becomes slightly bent due to a drop, the lead won't be able to come out. The best way to check that is to take a piece of lead and feed it through the tip. If it goes into the tip without much force then the tip is fine and it could be one of the other reasons.Five: Maybe a defect in your particular pencil. I hesitate to put this on here because Uni has done a really good job of quality control with their high-end Kuru toga pencils. Still, mistakes happen and you may have gotten a dud.

Q: What type of lead comes inside? hb, h, 2h?

I don't know the lead type, it is hard though and draws a very fine line. You can order different lead types. The pencil is well made.

Uni Kurutoga Mechanical Pencil Standard, 0.3mm, Black (M34501P.24)

Description

The Kuru Toga Series from Uni-ball Mitsubishi has a core rotation mechanism that can automatically rotate the pencil lead as you write. The lead is twisted through a spring-loaded clutch, it works by twisting incrementally every time you lift the pencil up (i.e. during printing words, etc.). This allows a uniform wearing of the pencil lead so that it always remains as a pointed tip. So you can easily avoid the usual problem of using pencils:
At first the pencil has a sharp point, but after that when you continue to write the point is worn down, and your line widths are smudgy and thicker. Sometimes the tip of the angled point can scratch or catch on the paper. The lead is easy to break due to some positions of the tip and the angles of the tip.
But using Kuru Toga pencil, you will not have to face the above problems. You are effectively using only 50% of the lead area that you were previously using with your old mechanical pencil. Thus, a 0.3/0.5 mm Kuru Toga will write incredibly thin lines and have less breakage than a standard 0.3/0.5 mm mechanical pencil.

Handles very nicely. A bit lighter than my previous pencil (which ...

Took longer than most orders to arrive (from Japan - of course it did!) but the wait was worth it. Handles very nicely. A bit lighter than my previous pencil (which had more metal at the business end) but I quickly became accustomed to it. Oh, and the wee origami crane slipped into the parcel was an amusing little surprise!

Brilliant.

Much better than I expected it to be. The lead turning mechanism really works well, nice to hold and a beautiful electric blue colour. Works well with pentel AIN 2B leads. Not gimmicky, but really practical.
