Awesome
I love this! The tip is slightly longer on this compared to the other models, which I like better. The handle is very comfy

Fantastic Pencil
I swear by this pencil, it is one of the best pencils that I have ever used in my life. I've gotten one of these for one of my friends as well. The one I got has lasted me over two years in a physics degree as well.

Best mechanical pencil I have ever used!
Writes smooth and doesn’t break every two seconds! Buy it!

Very comfortable
I needed the .07 lead. I write a little heavy and the .05’s break too easy on me. Comfortable and solid

I’m in love
This is my go-to pencil these days. The gel is comfortable, the auto rotation is amazing, and it writes so nicely. Only complaint is that the metal tip doesn’t retract, so it’s not great in a pocket, but it’s so amazing otherwise that I can overlook this.

Great pencil
Was worried the rubber would pick up a lot of dust, seems to keep itself clean for the most part. Other KuruTogas feel better, but this is by far the best for longer writing sessions. I don't end up using the lock often but it's a nice extra feature.

Love it
It’s great. I can shut off the lead rotation for sharper lines in my sketches, or have a nice even pencil tip with the rotation mechanism on for softer sketches!

It does not have long duration and is complicated to contact the company for a refund
I purchased this earlier. I use it daily because I have the bad habit of pressing hard my pens, so even if I'm trying to correct that bad habit, I am still having trouble with it. But just after a year of use, it got awful. I tried to contact the company but it was not possible, I do not recommend it unless you are going to use it barely or a few times or you are a university student with heavy majors because if you ask for a refund or any help to repair your mechanical pencil, is troublesome and still complicated that you may not have time due the assignments or because the product is only sold in Japan. As a university student, I expected a good quality pen, but this one did not show my expectations, especially after 3 months of use, the lead of the mechanical pencil started to crack easily while I was writing, yet I forgave the product, but now that I got another pen finally noticed that it does not should have to happen, disappointing product and more when it is from Japan.
