I have never bent the tip on the Kuru toga Uni Roulette! The eraser is not an issue, pros use an eraser pencil, they don’t waste time pulling the end cap off and putting it back on again.

@duck114 Жыл бұрын
I think the heavier drafting mechanical pencils tend to be because after many hours of studying you kind of lose the strenght to write and also because the thinner leads are usually scartchy and the weight kind of helps to soften it. That's just my personal opinion on the matter and also why I like the graph pentels that are heavier. Great video, btw. Another mechanical pencil that is almost as affordable as bic with all the features plus solves the lead break problem is the pentel P203, P205, P207 and P209 (the final digit is the mm of the lead), and the BRW version is even lightweighter!
@TheGreatAmphibian7 ай бұрын
The p203 is a great pencil. But I write all day with more comfort with the Staedtler 925. It’s 17g instead of 10g but the grip is a little wider and much, much more positive- so it actually takes less effort to hold and manipulate. At least for my hand. But the work in writing definitely isn’t holding up a pencil but the sustained effort of gripping.
@Alex-zq2yx3 жыл бұрын
Nice, I can't stand the roulette's wobble. But love the graphgear 1000, I don't find it heavy at all, its actually my lightest pen/pencil (i use all metal pens). The wobble isnt noticeable when I write, the grip is more than fine for me! The rubber makes it comfortable and the knurl doesnt "scratch" dead skin from my hands.. hahaha. I dont have sweaty hands so I guess it plays a role? I like the fact that the graphgear 1000 outside body is all metal, and the retractable mechanism is so satisfying. It looks professional as well, although it could look better.
@greekveteran27152 жыл бұрын
The woble isn't noticable with any wobly pencil, but it's there and it shows in the final product. You can't spot the imprecision easily when using it. Try something like the GraphGear 500 next to it. (The one without the lead indicator on the button) Difference is noticable on any kind of professional use, both technical or free drawing.

I love the Pentel 200 series drafting pencils. They were what all the professional around me used, after trying far more expensive pencils. All of us would put slip on grips of one kind or another on them, and nearly every other type of pencil. We had rolls of silicon tubing that we would snip off for grips. Such grips are not just for kids. Too, a piece of double sided Scotch tape works wonders with a slippery grip. But you're dead wrong about the Graph Gear pencils. In the first place, stop using the erasers that come on pencils, except in an emergency. That's amateur city. Buy a good erases, or an eraser stick, and use that. In the second place, Graph Gear pencils are not too heavy. They're the perfect weight for writing, and for doing real work. It always amuses me when someone complains that a pencil or pen is too heavy. There are hundreds of jobs where the worker has to hold and use a tool that weighs several pounds all day long. I grew up working jobs like that. If you're smart enough to learn how to use a pencil or pen correctly, the weight of the instrument will do most of the work for you. Pentel makes great pencils. So does Pilot. But the Graph Gear pencils are the best out there for most work. For fancier settings, splurge a little and buy a mechanical pencil that actually looks fitting in a business situation. On the cheap end, but a Pilot Dr. Grip. On the expensive end, buy a Montblanc. If you simply hate such pencils, use a Graph Gear. They actually look like they cost a lot of money, even though they're dirt cheap. But, really, stop using the erasers that come on good mechanical pencils, unless you know what they're for. Very thin erases, such as most drafting pencils have, should only be used when a very tiny bit of precision erasing needs to be done. Want to change a short, fine line, use it. Want to erase one letter in a work, use it. Otherwise, buy a good eraser and use it.
@greekveteran27152 жыл бұрын
I get better performance from the Pentel GraphGear 500, than the P205, It's more accurate which means, you can draw a perfect round circle and it will look like you used a compass to create it. Pentel P200 can't do that. They also feel very cheap and the numerous sharp edges on the top of that pencil, cut into my hand all the time, which is very annoing. I use the P205 for taking a note once in a while, and the P203 is great for detailed drawing. However, my main pencil which does 90% of the drawing even writing, is the GraphGear 500. Even the letters I can make when writing, are more rounded and cleaner looking, than any other pencil I've tried.

Yes it has that eraser cap flaw, it is heavy, and it does make the tip wobble due to wear and tear but if you take great care with it and go easy writing on it then you’ll be fine. Also, if you guys want a 0.7 Mechanical pencil, I suggest you guys try Pentel Champ mechanical pencil. It has great grip, removable eraser, quite affordable (costs around $14-8 depending on the Store), and found almost everywhere. The only flaw is the Grip does wear and tear, and the Lead is a bit Weak and can break.

I used to have a big problem with sweaty hands when I was younger, then I was shown the way. I started with 2B lead and moved to 3B all in a 0.5. Softer lead allows you to write dark without much pressure and you have to go easy on the 0.5 or it will break. It takes a little getting used to, but worth it. It makes erasing much cleaner, too. I how switched all the way to 4B, but can't get it in 0.5, so I am running 0.7mm.

thanks for your honest review, so we have not to spend lots of money buying and trying expensive wobbly point mechanical pencils. In instruments made and meant to be precise it is a sin to have such kind of problems. Even if they have some fancy new mechanisms like the kuru toga, or retractable point like the graph gear, as artist we want to feel these are something solid and trusthworthy tools for our delicate creations, I guess they still need to improve certain things. Btw have you ever tried the Pentel Graphgear 300 and Pentel 120? I like both however we always can find something to complain about 😅

Never thought I’d watch a video about mechanical pencils. Yet here I am. Want to get him to review a few electric cars. Is Tesla nope or dope?

Cool, thanks. I wish Blackwing makers of Blackwing 602 would sell their Blackwing graphites as leads again, especially their Blackwing 602 graphite which is the most buttery smooth graphite by in existence by far (best to use with the most butter smooth paper in existence, by far- the Tomoe River brand though it's more for the most buttery smooth fountain pen nib and most buttery sooth fountain pen ink). What brand is your greenish-blue triangle and compass for drafting? God bless, Rev. 21:4

Ive never experienced Bic lead breakage. Try to not make too much pressure. You dont need 4-5 mm exposed graphite lead to write, 2mm is enough.

Is it good for sketching

Heck, even less. I have a 0.7mm Bic just like Jinan's and I only ever expose about 1mm of lead. It never broke on me.

I don’t know why but when I use mechanical pencils to draw it’s easier than a wooden pencil and I use them to shade i know Bc the lines stay the same but when your drawing with wooden pencils eventually the pencil gets dull and you gotta sharpen it
@DinnerForkTongue2 жыл бұрын
Of course pencils get dull and wide-pointed as you use them,it's natural of a cone-shaped wide lead. Same thing for lead holders. What's about it that "you don't know why"?

You can find it on Amazon. I listed a link for that in the description.
