Porte-mine Uni Kuru Toga Roulette, corps argenté 0,5 mm

The pencil is high quality, I am very satisfied with it

Very nice mechanical pencil, tapered so the weight is in the hand. Very fine tip and it rotates the lead so you always have a fine point. Mostly plastic and the pocket clip is not great. The eraser is really good but small.

i used to be convinced that stationary and stationary tools were merely a matter of cosmetics, and they wouldn't affect the writing experience. that changed when i bought the kuru toga roulette.

the pencil itself is pretty light. it has a plastic body, with the only metal externals being the knurled grip, the tip, and the clip (and of course the lead pipe). Everything else is chromed plastic, which actually looks pretty nice.

writing with this pencil is very smooth, easy, and convenient. the lead rotation is nice, but because the rotation speed is meant for short choppy strokes, it's a bit too slow for my liking. still, this is a really nice piece to write with.

my experience with this pencil is extremely positive. i've used it every single day for the past year and it's been spectacular. the lead pipe has super tight tolerances, so you'll notice a pretty big decrease in lead breakage compared to a throwaway mechanical pencil. it's great for writing, sketching, technical drawings, and pretty much whatever you throw at it. the feel of the pencil itself is super smooth. not too heavy, not too light. since i started using the roulette, i've tried other models like the advance upgrade and the standard kuru toga, but i always come back to this one. it's always in my pencil case, and it's always reliable when i whip it out.

if you're looking for an affordable drafting pencil with good construction, or you're looking for a gift for a friend, this pencil will go far.

As far as the pencil quality, it's fine. The outer shell is mostly real metal but you wouldn't think it because of how surprisingly light it is. I've still had it for two months now, and it works great. When it comes in the package, it's in a plastic-cardboard case. Inside are two preloaded sticks of lead. The writing feels smooth, the tip is metal. The rotation does work, but it works best for quick strokes with the pencil and pressing down. Not too hard. Although you would bearly notice it, the inner barrel that holds the lead feels a little loose, but it isn't annoying at all.
