Pictured are 4 of my latest mechanical pencils :
Staedtler Mars micro 0.9mm
Retractable tip , nice quality , writes well , 0.9mm rides paper real well , not graby or rough and LED does not break very easily
Faber Castell Grip Matic 0.7mm
Retractable tip , cheap but nice [ feels cheap ] , writes well , o.7mm rides paper better than the 0.5mm and does not break as easily , not as strong as 0.9mm
Uni a-gel Shaker 0.5mm
Wish it was 0.7mm , the gel grip is nice and comfy but at the loss of some control , not good for fine work or accuracy
Uni Mitsubishi Kuru Toga 0.5mm
Has rotating LED for finer line , feels good , wish it was 0.7mm . Does indeed produce a finer line , good for those who keep breaking there 0.3mm LED's
Well , I like Kuru Toga , but it should be 0.7mm to be a good writing pencil , but its hard to beat the Staedtler Mars micro 0.9mm , it rides over paper so well , has a retractable tip and just feels like a quality product .
The Uni Gel , while really comfortable , suffers from some loss of control because of the gel grip . The Uni Mitsubishi Kuru Toga performed as promised and produced a finer line than the other 0.5mm , it would be brilliant in 0.7mm , I understand Uni is trying to develop a rotating LED pencil in 0.7mm , and just cant wait for it to become available .
