Uni Kuru Toga Pencil 0.5mm M5-450 + FREE LEAD REFILLS

NEW!

The new Uni Kuru Toga is truly - and literally - revolutionary.

When using a normal mechanical pencil at a typical writing angle, the lead point quickly becomes chisel-shaped. This leads to broader, less precise lines; and crumbling of the resulting sharp edge. The unique gear mechanism of the Kuru Toga rotates the lead every time it is touched to the paper, resulting in a clean cone-shaped tip which is sharp and resistant to breaking. Simple, yet brilliant. We've been using early samples from Japan on a daily basis since the end of 2008 and they really do work.

This pencil has taken Japan by storm with Uni selling all they can make, resulting in the delayed launch in the UK.

The Kuru Toga M5-450 is a 0.5mm mechanical pencil with a fixed lead sleeve. 14.3mm long, approx 10mm diameter and 10g in weight. The polycarbonate barrel has a gently ridged grip section which is clear in order to show off the 3-gear rotation mechanism. You can see the logo on the centre gear rotating each time the tip is pressed to the writing surface. The lead rotates approximately 9 degrees with each contact - around 40 touches will rotate the lead completely.

There's a replaceable eraser under the push-button. Supplied with 3 HB Uni Nano Dia leads - which are another innovation - being stronger than any previous lead due to some clever nano-technology.

Nano Dia replacement lead is now available here.

Type S eraser refill available here.

Available with black, silver, blue, green, pink or orange barrel.

SPECIAL OFFER: FREE PACK OF 12 Uni Nano Dia lead with every pencil.
