I've noticed that you have raised your game. Very good light, seems like it's a better camera, better voice pick-up, and professional over all.

I bought one of these and very impressed with it: very good quality and clever engineering for the money. It is my first kuru toga though. They say the lead spins twice as fast as the previous one which is better for writing.

I got this pencil after researching the kuru toga line and coming upon this video, so thank you. I don’t know if you noticed, but this does have the sliding pipe mechanism like the Orenz for extra lead breakage prevention. That was a really nice surprise for me, and I found writing without advancing the lead out of the sleeve very pleasant indeed.

I just got my original kurutoga in .3, and wow Love this thing!!! Now I want this, the advanced upgrade in .3. the dive looks awesome as well

I have been writing with 0.3 for a while and I recently got the Kuru Toga Advance Upgrade in 0.5 and couldn't love it more. Because it rotates, it keeps the 0.5 sharp enough that it's just as fine as a 0.3. When the 0.3 gets a slant, it can get thicker than the 0.5 kuru toga. The only minor con about the KT Advance Upgrade is the weight distribution, it's heavy down bottom and very light at the top, but I've gotten used to it quite quickly and it doesn't bother me. I love the retractable sleeve too.

Have my silver Roulette for almost 10 years, it's really a great mechanical pencil. (added a foam grip sleeve for comfort)

You should also try Alpha Gel Kuru Toga if you haven't yet. I like it so much.

[trailladymtb]

Got this and lost it the next day😂 who knows where. But love my roulette.
Update: I found it in back seat of the car!! Won’t let that happen again. But the Roulette and the Gear 1000 For Pro have been sweet use for math class. Will be using my Advance soon.

I so badly want the Teal and black! I have the Kuru Toga *Roulette* version in Teal with silver and gray accents. I was hoping to get this as a heavy use for arts and writing notes.. since 0.5 is more commonly to find in stores rather than my 0.3 lead for my Roulette, which I have bought 800 pieces of 0.3 for $26, so it should last a long time before I buy more lead. This advance model should make it easier to get lead so I won't be needing to use my 0.3s so heavily

[confelic]

after seeing this video i got a black one, and the whole thing was made out of metal
there was a little bit of play with the guide pipe but other than that it was amazing

[vaibhav]

Will the Kuru Toga Advance Upgrade eventually come in 0.7mm? Also, what's the mass of this pencil?

[marshall]

really love this pencil the only downside is the plastic threading, one hard drop would snap in half like mine. But overall it is pretty great

[defgoe]

Thanks for the review! Does this one have sliding sleeve for Orenz-type lead protection? Can you write without advancing the lead?

[dnnay]

The Navy colored one looks the best but dang it always sold out everywhere on Rakuten

[NeyPenido]

So you have circled holes as grip in metal ? My skin is very weak i guess it will hurt . Bought a graphgear 300 and the metal holes and edges friction against my skin is horrible, it hurts my skin .

[DY]

Could this be the Kuru Toga that can actually be used by low grippers? I'll have to get one and see. I have the Roulette, but the lowest point I can comfortably hold it is way too high for me.

Debating between the Advance Upgrade and the Roulette. I’ve heard complaints of side-to-side wobble in the Advance Upgrade that isn’t as present on the Roulette. Is the “squishiness”/side-to-side wobble more present on the Advance Upgrade than the Roulette?

[t-sun-]

I have a question about this kuru toga advance upgrade or also called punching grip of your video i like to know if the lead advanced it self like the orenz nero or it’s not lead advancing from the retractable pipe.

[shogrran]

Knowing my fingers... if i try to use this mechanical pencil... those holes will be FILLED with dead skin cells in one session.

[timeconstrained]

Need more specifics on the dimensions..grip, weight, balance point. These are hard to find. You said the grip was around 13mm which is way too fat for me. Vid, good quality, thank you.
