I have the mono graph, the delguard, and the kuru toga. They all work really nice. The only problem is that you have to be careful to make sure people don't steal them ;)
SAME. I had my pencil case out a few minutes after class started when I went to use the restroom. I came back and my Kuru, Delguard, the eraser I bought as well were taken, among other things.
Ammon Janey I love mechanical pencils super much. I am just not so knowledgeable about them 😅😅😅so when I saw that there are 0.3mm mechanical pencils, I was soooooooooo shocked. I really wanted one..............
Me: *sobbing at 11pm* p-please.. jetpens.. enough.. I have an exam tomorrow I need to sleep.. Jetpens: *smiling* Let’s talk about Japanese craft supplies now!!
Exactly. I realized that I actually use it quite often, switching between superfine sharp lines and flat worn side of the tip, only when I got the Kuru Toga. It's a great idea for writing, but it doesn't fit well with certain drawing habits.
@@Floraskaniner A little late, but the chisel-tip that I get with a 0.7 mm makes smooth shading easier. Some neat line thickness tricks too if you change the part of the tip you use. Also feels a little better to control and write with at a more comfortable angle than if I held it like a ballpoint.
I have the Kuru Toga standart model and would exchange it only for other Kuru Toga. Perhaps the one with the extra large grip or a 0.5 model, since at my country such never came around. I believe an fusion of Zebra and Kuru Toga would be a top-notch model that would hardly be surpressed by any other mechanism.
The standard model doesn't work nearly as well with cursive as the advanced model does. The standard takes 40 lifts off the paper for a full rotation, but the advance on requires twenty. A huge difference when writing in cursive.
The Kuru Toga is such a brilliant piece of invention!!! I wasn't able to purchase the one with the gel grip, however, it's still comfortable to hold for long hours. I use mine for note taking while studying. Also, it's such a lightweight pencil. I thought it'd be a bit heavy.
getting the Zebra DelGuard Type-ER just so when people in school ask to use my eraser, I can just show them the tip of the pencil and say "I used up all of it." Lets hope its believable
So You Won't Have Problem With Sharpening Wooden Pencils And So Your Lead Won't Be Breakable ,Refill To Much And You Can Get Lead Out Without ReGriping Your Mechiancal To Get Your Lead Out!!!
Zebra Delguard Warning: If you dont hold a pencil like how they teach you to in school, the sideways one doesn't keep the lead protected, but it is a great pencil overall.
these videos make me want to not graduate high school and just keep working and studying forever. i really hope i can use all my stationary throughout college!
The first one ( Zebra Del Guard ) I got it for my birthday from my Korean friend... It's the best mechanical pencils, you guys should get one for urself 😊
I have a Zebra DelGuard and a DelGuard-ER. The eraser mechanism is cool and it works, but I don't like the rubber grip and I don't think there's a way to use up the whole eraser since half of it sits inside the casing
the first mechanical pencil I bought was my beloved Mitsubishi uni m5-452 in the blue/black/orange colour way: this pencil is basically perfect! - the rotating lead mechanism just works and makes every other pencil look second rate imho:)
I’ve been buying mechanical pencils for so long now, most recently 2 GraphGear 1000s and 3 Kuru Togas from you people; they are wonderful pencils. But I also like pencils with removable caps such as Pentel (Apple spellcheck corrected that to Pentecostal!) gel pens have, and I have discovered that the lead guides from the Pentel Sharplet 2 series, and the Pentel 120 series will screw onto the Pentel A13T series, and that with the judicious use of hot water at about 80 °C, you can remove the clutch mechanisms from the Sharplet 2s and the 120s and transfer those to the A13Ts as well, and that has allowed me to produce very lightweight pencils with removable caps that I can put on the back as if they were gel pens, while still preserving lead advance clickability, in 0.3 mm, 0.5 mm, 0.7 mm, and 0.9 mm sizes. I love my home brewed pencils, but I wish Pentel had done it themselves and saved me all that work!
I use the Kuru Toga, I didn't like it at first because of the springy feel, but I got used to it, and now I use it so much, I would recommend it, I see a lot of people disliking that pencil, but idk if they are using it for drawing. I just take notes and write with it and Im happy with it.
I have a delguard and kurutoga but honestly I'd prefer delguard for drawing because unbreakable lead makes it easier to apply pressure and draw in different shades for drawing while you can't do it in kurutoga, however kurutoga is better for writing experience.
The Pilot Del Ful Mechanical Shaker Pencil - 0.5 is really good! It comes in three colours: blue, red and green Only in 0.5mm lead I think you guys should all give it a go
Fyi: if you want to use 0.3 mech pencil other than the tombow you can use pilot's mech pencil me and my friends use it, its rlly good for drawing and writing.
i actually got the MonoGraph pencil when i was over in thailand and OH MY GOD IS IT AMAZING i've had it for almost 3 years now and i refuse to use any other pencil i highly recommend it like it's not just that shaking the pencil dispenses the lead that itself is rlly cool but it also feels really nice and makes this really cool sound that sounds almost artificial but im pretty sure it's just the plastic hitting against the sides of the pen it's amazing
One pencil you don't have on your site is the Uni Shalaku - it has its button on the side instead of the top, so you don't need to change your grip to dispense lead.
I want to get a Kuru Toga so badly, Im looking at the roulette model but I hope the metal sleeve is retractable, I've read that it isn't, but despite that I still am all but sold on the kuru toga. I bought the Orenz a while back and as much as I love the 'only click once' system, the model I have is all plastic body and my hand slips and cramps. aaaah So here I am researching pencils and gettting super excited and I HAVE NO OTHER PENCIL NERDS TO TALK TO.
I just use some insanely simple mechanical pencil. You just twist the front and that declares how much lead goes out. Pretty clean design and you cant see any mechanics behind. It also has a rubber at the back although you can't dissemble the pencil to put more lead. It costs £4 for a 12 pack though :P
If only Jetpens had affordable shipping to the UK; it's really expensive and limits me to having to buy from other places ; n ; (I've bought once from you and I loved what I got and how quickly it came BUT SHIPPING HURTS)
If you need to know (as I did) what that notebook with the interesting cross and X grid paper is at 4:31, it appears to be the Kyokuto F.O.B COOP W Ring Notebook, which comes in 4 sizes.
When I went to Japan, I got the Zebra Delguard with a gudetama design on it. My idiot classmate later cracked the plastic after pulling on it, and then it broke later on
at my old middle school, i, as well as a bunch of other people in my science class were missing their expensive led pencils. there was a person going around stealing oxygels and basically any pencil that looked like a transformer.
I use the uni kuru toga, its good for drawing, because i use short strokes. Also, I find it good for long writing projects because, like they said, it keeps the writing crisp and clear.
Never let anyone touch your Kuru Toga. Same for my daughter at school, no one gets to borrow the Kuru Toga. And 0.5 mm, perfectly sharpened, with the diamond lead is just the best.
I have the 0.5 Standard Zebra Delguard in white and I love it so much! It is very aesthetic and classy. However, the eraser is TINY. Zebra needs to include refills!
A couple of the coolest pens on this list are no longer sold on JetPens. At least I couldn’t find them searching or using the links. That a real shame because they seem really unique, which is what I look for when purchasing new pencils and pens.

Death Rho Yup, my pencil case got raided after I left it in one of my classes . My kuru toga was one of the few things that got stolen...

We have it right now tape a iPhone X to a mech pencil and bam pencil with apps and facial recognition

Lol, this comment is so underrated
How did exam go?
Uh.. no hate, this is great and all, until someone steals your pencil.
xOrange_Saucex
I added a stripe of washi tape with my initials on mine to prevent that :)
I NEVER let anyone borrow my mechanical pencils- They can't steal what they can't touch, after all. ( • ̀ω•́ )9
b0mchi yes they can lmao. Stealing is way more complex then u think...
Oh ok, I might try the washi tape thing. People at my school LOVE stealing pencils. That’s why I haven’t even considered buying a fancy pencil.
One of my brother's friends gave his pencil back a year later after continuously forgetting XD

The"dreaded" chisel tip?
Its actually amazing for sketching and making certain effects
Exactly. I realized that I actually use it quite often, switching between superfine sharp lines and flat worn side of the tip, only when I got the Kuru Toga. It's a great idea for writing, but it doesn't fit well with certain drawing habits.

The times when you leave your pencil in class and you realize it’s a kuru toga
Me: WHERES THE PENCIL!!
I like the Kuru Toga, but I actually don't hate the chisel pencil lead tip!

Yes the chisel tip is useful for calligraphers like me to achieve line variation on a pencil :)
Gotta catch them all!!!!

"Can't be bothered to sharpen their pencils"
pretty accurate if you ask me
I've used the Kuru Toga for years now and it still works perfectly, I would highly recommend getting it if you don't lost pencils often
I imported the OLEeNU Shield a few weeks back because of this video, and I don't regret it! It's a really good pencil, and it's comfortable to hold
Someone: Show me our technological advances!
Me: *Mechanical Pencil Innovations*
Kuru Toga is my number 1 favorite! Love it sooo much. I have a lot of them
Look at all the colours of the DelGuard 😍
I have the Tombow Monograph and it is the BEST mechanical pencil I have. Decent price, decent quality.
Jet pens thx 4 the heart!
YESSS from all of them, it is the best for me
There is something satisfying watching cool school supplies
Zebra Delguard Warning: If you dont hold a pencil like how they teach you to in school, the sideways one doesn't keep the lead protected, but it is a great pencil overall.
I've had the MONO Graph for years now and it's my favourite mechanical pencil. I DID NOT KNOW that you could shake it to get more lead out.
Am I the only one who totally doesn't have an issue with having a dull side and a sharp side on my lead?
Maybe it's because you write more vertically.
XD
Gillian Jones for me its annoying because then you cant see what my words or numbers are
I like the chizel tip too
Me too 😂
Im getting my TOMBOW mono graph next week I ordered it a few days ago
I'm so proud to be japanese
And I feel grateful to live and have grow up in japan
me too
I love mono graph a lot and collect a bit of them. Definitely worth buying, it’s just perfect and the variety of designs and colors is massive

Just bought the Zebra delguard one. Its beatiful.
I had bought a standard Kuru toga but it doesn’t work for me as I write in cursive
