Top Ten Mechanical Pencils

[@loanj0001]

Clutch situation love your vids I actually put a comment on your old video called 2015 pencil collection and you are pretty much the person that made me want to do art and write and all those things and I used to be really sad about my parents being divorced and I want to say that you are the person that showed me pencils that are cool in my opinion i know that sounds kinda nerdy but you are the person that got me into doing something that I love so thank you for that

[@ClutchSituation]

Wow. You're welcome. Sometimes our hobbies are ways for us to process things in safe ways. I'm glad that you found a way to help!

[@loanj0001]

+Clutch Situation hey I mean I probably like mechanical pencils as much as you do XD lol I mean you might have 2x more than I have (which ya I have a lot but ya just about 2x less that you according to your pencil case update) but I buy mine off amazon and I think you should considering I got the rotting 800 for 35 dollars off amazon and I didn't even really know how expensive it is otherwise but hey now I know that I did get an amazing deal but ya I think if you haven't already that you should go check Amazon out

[@loanj0001]

Sorry I'm typing off an iPad which has auto correct but I meant Rotring

[@Truth72500]

I like the rotring 600 and pentel kerry as top pencils

[@voicemint]

Nice top-10 mechanical pencil review. I found your video because I was searching for info about the Rotring 800. Managing to obtain the much elusive ballpoint Rotring 800, I wanted to get the companion MP. Thankfully it is still in plentiful supply out there, with a number of sources. JetPens has the best retail price, but you can get slightly better deals off "that auction site." As a desk pencil, I'd agree that the 600 is the best. Beyond that, the 800 has that superb retractable tip design, which makes it more stylish and perhaps even a conversation piece. It's great to have both. :-)

[@void4812]

The uni Kara toga is AWSOME

[@grantcleveland4506]

How To / And More yes it is amazing

[@asadb1990]

is that an ewok?

[@ClutchSituation]

+Asad the great You bet.

[@RediceRyan]

Wish the rotring 800 or Rapid Pro was available in .3mm. Wish there was even one single drafting pencil with a .2mm lead size.

[@pickledotaku]

I wish it was cheaper

[@loanj0001]

The rotring rapid pro is

[@loanj0001]

You can find it on amazon for about 25 bucks

[@wadebradley7388]

love your choices.I just got a UNI Kuro Toga. have you ever tried one,It has the auto rotating lead.It really works, always a sharp point, the plastic in Knurled to perfection just as if it were machined in a lathe..But heres the super great thing.They are light and under 10 bucks.I cant believe not one Uni pencil made it to your list..But I respect your Excellent choices. If you do try one and like it, holler back at me. friend.. many thx. wade

[@lancecarter9475]

Great video, I'm a fan of the twist erase as well. You should definitely give the Staedtler 925 35 series a try you won't be disappointed, it'll give those Rotring's a run for their money. They're 20 bucks at jet pens and would make a great addition to your collection.

[@beltedharp2326]

I love the rotring plz continue ur vids just subscribed

[@tjoebatjoep]

You've made me watch to a stuffed animal for 2.40 minutes... Never ever thought I would be able to do that.

[@herbaljones]

tjoebatjoep are ewoks considered animals? I guess they would be as much as humans are.

[@tjoebatjoep]

Didn't see it was an ewok. My humblest apologies. (I thought it was a baby gremlin or even a washed-too-much Garfield). But the experience was really a spiritual one of the deepest kind.

[@davidmathews2124]

Just picked up a silver 0.07mm and a black 0.05mm for $18 each via Amazon Prime. Pretty sweet. Also recently got a Staedtler 0.3mm Mechanical Pencil Night Blue Series...looked nice for ten bucks.

[@miyka]

Did they change the design or mechanics for the rapid pro in some way? I just got one and it weighs almost identical to the 600...

[@ClutchSituation]

+Kayeco I'll mass both of mine at school today.

[@miyka]

+Clutch Situation some say the rapid pro is 24.5 grams while the 600 is 22.7 grams...I know jetpen says the pro weighs 1.9 ounces...but i think it should be 0.9 which is roughly 25g...it doesn't feel like a 50g pen though...but I don't own a scale, I could be wrong.

[@ClutchSituation]

+Kayeco I massed it at school, and indeed the RRP is 24.2 g compared to 22 ish for the 600. So Jetpens is wrong, or is measuring package mass, not pencil mass. Even though the difference isn't that big, the weighting on the RRP still bothers me. So, even if it isn't raw weight, it is the balance that I don't like.

[@miyka]

+Clutch Situation Fair enough~ I love them both. Favor RRP a bit more just because 600 hurts my bony hand. ;)

[@ClutchSituation]

+Kayeco Oh, I'm not saying that the RRP isn't a fine pencil. It's my #3 for a host of reasons. This is the reason why I prefer the 600. :)

[@박찬혁-n7p]

I have Lamy Safari, pentel p205, rotring 600,pilot s20

[@Dems411]

Im thinking on getting a Porsche design mechanical pencil, if you get a chance notify me please. thank you!

[@ClutchSituation]

+Gabriel Johnson I cannot afford a Porsche Design mechanical pencil! :D

[@Dems411]

Okay, that`s fine.

[@Socrates...]

+Gabriel Johnson I have a slimline Porsche design pencil, it is the best

[@ishrakgg2183]

Rotring 800 Lead Holder Clutch Knock System ? any review of this pencil ?

[@ClutchSituation]

I have not reviewed it, but I imagine given it is a Rotring 800, the Rotring 800 review will be a fairly accurate reflection.

[@jacquelineduran8148]

I like all your led pencil i like seeing your video

[@Galois1683]

I have a lamy safari mechanical pencil, I thing I don't like about my pencil is while writing the retractable sleeve pushes back by it self and after a while you get your lead naked. why is that? somebody knows ?

[@ClutchSituation]

+Oscar solano guzman Great question. I don't know enough about the engineering to answer you. This happens on pencils with hypodermic pipe retractable sleeves. Rotring Rapid Pro is an example. It's cleary spring loaded and I'm wondering if that is intentional to prevent lead breakage?

[@Galois1683]

This happen to your lamy safari? + Clutch Situation

[@ClutchSituation]

+Oscar solano guzman The Lamy Safari is not a sliding sleeve, as far as I can tell.

[@garrettlosabia3818]

What was the name of the pencil after the Kerry? I cannot find it on Amazon as "Twizbee Precision."

[@ClutchSituation]

+Garrett Losabia TWSBI Precision www.jetpens.com/TWSBI-Precision-Mechanical-Pencils/ct/2534

[@LW39092]

Twsbi Precision.

[@kroxfirex]

what about Faber Castell or Alvin mechanical pencils. do you own any?

[@ClutchSituation]

+kroxfirex Yes. You can view a comprehensive list of all my reviews on my blog: klecser.wordpress.com/mechanical-pencil-reviews/ Also, if you look at my recently posted videos, you will see that I just reviewed the Faber-Castell Grip 2011 on the Channel!

[@axerzes]

Thanks for answering my question

[@topkilla5164]

Hello, Im new to this channel Great video! it really helped I got a Rotring 600! if you don`t mind iv`e been fond of the porch design if you have time could you make a review thx

[@ClutchSituation]

+Topkilla51 I cannot afford a Porsche Design mechanical pencil! :D

[@Сергей-э9ы3б]

Hi. Not seen your video before buying some replica of Pentel 205 (didn't know about it). So I don't know about Pentel's original quality. But replica (kind of Erich Krause "Black pointer") is so shitty that I can't help it not to say. It's lousy all the way long and it's fatal for lead because the tip of the barrel is moving under pressure - I've crashed a lead in 10 minutes trying to get used to it (( It costed one buck and now I want just to throw that *** away (although originally I've bought it for a kid). ...at the same time Pentel PG 515 I have are quite good, but more good for me my cheap replica of Faber-Castell Grip 2011 wich was bought 9 years ago and use it every day with great pleasure (I've feeling it were better pencils before). Now after all these breakages I want to order 4 Delguards. Is it right choice I hope? ...because I want to present a kid also quite not cheap Pentel Color Ain Stein leads.

[@ClutchSituation]

Delguards are good. I recommend the Delguard ER over the original model.

[@ashapatel3571]

try the kuru toga pencils they are $10.00 on amazon and they have a rotating mechanism that make the lead spin every time you lift up look on youtube rewiews r jetpan

[@MrPianoBearTV]

What would you recommed for school use? No need for the pocket safe features

[@ClutchSituation]

+MrPianoBearTV That's a big question. I'm a teacher, so I use all of these "at school". If you mean for a student, it depends upon what you like. Do you like the precision of a drafting pencil? Do you want it to look good? Do you want it to be functional? Do you need it to be affordable or easy to obtain? I don't feel like I can make a recommendation until you tell me a little more about what you need. Otherwise, I'm going to recommend the Rotring 600 to anyone for any purpose. ;)

[@MrPianoBearTV]

+Clutch Situation I mean for a student, I really like the idea of the precision of a drafting pencil and looks don't matter to mean as long as it functions good. Availability: as long as it's available in Cult Pens and for affordability: if it will last me for long it might be worth the investment. :)

[@ClutchSituation]

+MrPianoBearTV This is your pencil. www.cultpens.com/i/q/RT27364/rotring-600-drafting-pencil-black

[@theirongaming8909]

Are you going to do a giveaway on some lead pencils

[@ClutchSituation]

+TheIron Gaming I have no intention to. I am not sponsored or affiliated with any company or website. I am just sharing my hobby.

[@everybody5087]

I thought the graphgear 1000 would be there

[@williamzz5]

What do you think of the Dr Grip pencils?

[@ClutchSituation]

+William Li Have yet to try one. I know it seems obvious that it should be in my collection, but I'm not a thick grip person.

[@williamzz5]

Oh I see. I think you should give it a try and the alpha gel pencil line.

[@ClutchSituation]

+William Li I have alpha gel. Grip too large for me. It basically comes down to not having unlimited funds. I could spend 10 on a pencil with a grip I probably won't like or one with a slim grip that I know I will.

[@jimmytreiman5775]

I just ordered a rotoring 800 is it a good pencil for writing and drafting

[@ClutchSituation]

+Jimmy Treiman Watch my review and let me know how you like it! I'm not a drafter so I can't comment on that. I love writing with my 800. kzbin.info/www/bejne/o5eVpap7jNanbJI

[@jimmytreiman5775]

+Clutch Situation ok I will watch thank you

[@bballwatcher2224]

Have you reviewed either the rOtring 300 or 500?

[@ClutchSituation]

On my blog, yes (300). I have not reviewed the 500 as it doesn't seem worth the price given that I already have a 600.

[@bballwatcher2224]

+Clutch Situation Fair point. I think I commented this yesterday, but I much prefer using the 500 over the 600 (surprise surprise). The 500 is more bottom heavy, which I prefer more. If by value, then yes, the 600 is the winner. But the 500 is something that I don't have to worry as much about.

[@김민석-l5d1p]

Kian Clarence true... 600 is kinda heavy so the tip part is easy to brake or band and it coast s lot to

[@orlandotrip1]

who is in the picture in the background on the left?

[@ClutchSituation]

Boba Fett? BOBA FETT? WHERE?

[@orlandotrip1]

Cool. What is your favorite pick for pencil lead refills?

[@ClutchSituation]

Check out the video I did on Pencil Lead tests!

[@mava10able]

why would you recommend the rotring 600 vs 800?

[@ClutchSituation]

+Martin Verweij Almost entirely value for the money. The 600 is a solid package for half the cost of the 800. Yes, the 800 is pocket safe, which is great, but it isn't double the price pocket safe, in my eyes.

[@mava10able]

+Clutch Situation o well I got the 800 for 25 euros

[@ClutchSituation]

+Martin Verweij I doubt that it is a genuine one if that's what you paid for it. If it is genuine, the retailer ripped themselves off selling it to you for that price.

[@mava10able]

+Martin Verweij it's sold by Amazon itself it was the last unit for that price so I doubt its a fake

[@ClutchSituation]

+Martin Verweij Maybe you got the deal of the century. I don't know. Amazon US shows the 800 at 52 USD or ~46.5 Euros. When Amazon is on low quantity, prices usually go up, not down. Congratulations, because an 800 at that price would be worth it. However, I think your situation is a very rare occurrence, and as such I think the 600 is a better buy. If someone could find an 800 at that price, I'd jump on it.

[@amandas1270]

one picture is worth 1000 words

[@gig1310]

Why isn't the Pentel Graphgear 1000 in the list?

[@ClutchSituation]

It is too heavy for my tastes. I also don't like the grip.

[@gig1310]

Oh

[@herbaljones]

Clutch Situation I like the weight, but I agree about the grip.

[@tylerhader6669]

the papermate clearpoijt please

[@ashapatel3571]

Please review the kuru toga pencils

[@ClutchSituation]

I have. Look through the videos and my blog...

[@axerzes]

Should I get rotring 600 or 800

[@ClutchSituation]

+ramu ramamurthy I would always go 600, unless pocket safety is necessary. 600 is a far better value.

[@abanobroshdy1967]

What about staetdler mars micro 775

[@clementinerind]

sorry to bother you, but can you please just respond with a typed list that I can keep in my notes to look up for later?

[@ClutchSituation]

+Yuyuka I'll pitch you an alternate idea: you watch the video and write down a list that you can look up for later.

[@dogepocalypse3335]

Clutch Situation lol savage

[@axerzes]

I'm Keshav I'm using my dads KZbin account if you're confused

[@oisin-m4z]

Number one baby

[@Bookmarz]

And kaweco?

[@ClutchSituation]

If I could afford Kaweco I would review their pencils! Plus, the style of their grip seems anti-ergonomic to me. I hate thick grips.

[@Bookmarz]

The kaweco special is very thin, and what about Caran d'ache ?

[@ClutchSituation]

The Kaweco special does look great. I'd probably get the 0.7 or higher because that lead sleeve n the 0.5 looks like it's asking to be broken off.

[@sabatheus]

I have all three Rotring 600s The .35, .5 and .7. You can take them from me, when you pry them from my cold dead fingers.

[@friedpickleeater]

you should make a video on the global climate change game.

[@ClutchSituation]

+Nick Era (NE5000) It wouldn't be on this Channel. This is my recreational Channel! ;)

[@friedpickleeater]

Ok

[@Dems411]

+Michael Fryda What is the most premium Mechanical Pencil that you Own?

[@ClutchSituation]

+Gabriel Johnson Tie between the Lamy 2000 and the Rotring 800.

[@andresisthename]

You lost me when you added the Pentel P200 in it. If this would be the 90s I would understand that, but today adding a pencil like that to a top list seems extreme at the very least because the pencil doesn't have any great features, or strong areas we could mention in comparison with most modern Drafing pencils.

[@VMTDesign]

andresisthename It is very nicely durable and simple for the price.

[@Crazytesseract]

andres... it is his favourite pencil. So you cannot do anything about it.

[@Jfresh55]

pentel 1000 non existent?

[@ClutchSituation]

+GoldenRetriever Abbie The Graph Gear 1000? I've reviewed it on the Channel. I'm one of those odd ducks that doesn't like it. Too heavy and grip too smooth for my tastes.

[@mranonymous5259]

Really? Im suprised theres no kuru toga!

[@ClutchSituation]

+Mr anonymous Kuru Toga makes my honorable mentions. For me, the sponginess of the mechanism makes for a less precise writing experience.

[@watermelonslushwatermelons6614]

Hi cute ewook

[@TheSonyGuy1]

for the Pentel Kerry do you need the cap to extend lead or can you extend the lead without the cap?

[@ClutchSituation]

+TheSonyGuy1 You can extend lead without the cap. The click is crisper with the cap on.

[@Truth72500]

TheSonyGuy1 with cap or without will advance lead prefer the cap on .
