We mostly chose pencils sized 0.5 mm to 0.7 mm, but we also tested some larger sizes for those who like range. We know that different people are looking for different levels of quality (and “keepability”) in a mechanical pencil, so we also tested a range of price points, from around 15 cents to 25 dollars per pencil. We tested brands known for their mechanical pencils (like Pentel) and the big two technical drawing brands, as well as some traditionally cheaper brands like Paper Mate.

Pencil jams can also be causes by using the wrong lead size. If you put 0.5 mm lead in a 0.3 mm pencil, you’ll certainly experience a jam, but not too many people make this mistake. It’s more likely that you might put 0.35 mm lead (like that from the Rotring Tikky) in a 0.3 mm pencil. The Kuru Toga eliminates this problem with the use of an ingenious lead 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 to create a conical tip shape that provides a fine, consistent line. For draftsmen, architects, or designers searching for the best mechanical pencils, there are numerous options on the market.

Look at the clutch (the part at the front of the pencil body that holds the lead), is it moving freely? Are fragments jammed inside? Hold the pencil right-side up and push the button. Your lead will fall out, but so will anything that could jam the pencil.This Advance Upgrade elevates the Kuru Toga Advance to the next level. The Advance Upgrade includes the “W Speed Engine,” sliding lead sleeve, and metal clip from its predecessor. Instead of the plastic grip section on the Advance, this pencil has a metal one that is matte and textured, which makes it easier to hold. This additional metal component gives the pencil more weight while remaining well-balanced in the hand. Those who appreciate the professional look of the High Grade and the lead rotation mechanism of the Advance will find a happy medium in this pencil.

This also helps increase the time for which you can continue using the same lead, effectively helping save money. 5. Anti Clog Design With its modern, refined appearance, the High Grade model is ideal for professional settings. Its matte aluminum grip section has ridges that support your fingers as you write. You can still see the Kuru Toga rotation mechanism hard at work through a discreet circular window located in the grip of the pencil.While there are multiple variants of the Kuru Toga mechanical pencil, they all share a similar design. They have a slim barrel with a certain section that is the designated grip area, ensuring an ergonomic and comfortable grip. The Disney edition of the standard Uni Kuru Toga comes in a cute, bold body with a printed silhouette of a classic Disney character. Cost: Mechanical pencil costs can vary dramatically. But just like we learned testing pens, the most expensive isn’t always the best. You should be able to find a mechanical pencil you love for just a few dollars or less.
