What feature did you like best? Do you think they're overengineered? Let us know in the comments and give the video a like to see more overengineered stationery!
Also, I think the lead window is actually not the silliest but most practical feature of all! The others may be hit or miss but knowing when you're about to run out of lead is priceless IMO.
@jetpens I have a Pilot Dr Grip multi pen with the .5 mechanical pencil. I have started using .38 ink refills that I LOVE. Is there a way to change the mechanical pencil portion to be able to use. 38 lead?
Almost makes me wish somebody would start a Japanese style stationary store at the nearby mall. The quality of stuff they get seems rather nice, and you normally don't see all the various options with what's normally available in U.S. stores.
The nicolo would be perfect if it was 0.5 and 0.7 leads (for drawing) because most colored leads are 0.7 and you could switch between graphite 0.5 and colored 0.7
I’m not an artist but I bought the Nicolo thinking that I would be really cool to have different weight, but the pencil itself is very light and rattley which makes it difficult to maintain a consistent dark line. I ended up buying a darker lead grade to make up for lack of weight
As a former kid who used to carry like 6 mechanical pencils around at all times (in school) because I never knew how much lead was left in them, the pencil with a lead warning made me gasp haha! 😅
All you need to do is to hold the pencil horizontally to shake it and feel/hear the lead inside, and keep a pack of lead in the pencil case at all times... Backup mechanical pencil is more to do with if a pencil got stuck and no time to fix...
Yess! I did too! I'm still in high school and my pencil case has all kinds of pencils, mechanical (5 that are 0.5mm and one that's 0.7) and non mechanical, from HB all the way up to 8B😅😅
Is it weird that I found every pencil in this video really cool? And I just tried out my very first Blackwing wooden pencil. Is there a "Stationery Anonymous" group therapy for this? 😁
While I guess it's _possible_ for pencils to be overengineered, I can appreciate all the features here (even though several of them may not be things I need). But I'm *so glad* to know about the Uni Alpha Gel Switch!!! I'd liked the idea of the auto-rotating lead in a pencil, but I hadn't bought one because I thought, "There's times I LIKE having the lead stay a certain way." Being able to turn that feature on and off is amazing - I'll be getting one of those!!
I LOVE overly-engineered pencils, but I will never get a shaker. The benefit seems to be not having to move your pencil hand position to extend the lead (which honestly I kinda hate) but I usually just use my other hand to click the lead forward if I don't want to move it. Also bringing my hands together reminds me to stretch out my arms and/or hands when I've been writing awhile.
if you like a standard pencil feel but slightly heavier for cheap the zebra tec2ways exist it has a shaker lock much like the monograph but is a separate mechanism or kinda like a decocker for the shaker weight so you can adjust your pencil weight if you want it to be tip heavy or clip heavy I absolutely adore the mujified version of it when they were being offered
I don't understand how it's supposed to work. Air is a great insulator, so putting a layer of trapped air between your finger and the pencil seems like a great way to get extra warm fingers.
While I absolutely don't mind having separate pencils for different situations, I can see how some of these would really help with saving space on the go or something But also my hands are constantly burning, I need that pencil xD
I have one of pencils from last video. Got to love those Japanese engineers! They must love a good pencil as much as I do. My original Pentel black plastic standard lasted for nearly 15 years! Now that’s fine work but I do love my new 0.2 mm that I don’t advance the lead
I recently bought the Uni Alpha Gel Switch Mechanical Pencil, the comfort, handling, quality is absolutely amazing! I'm going to go replace all my stuff with Japanese tools.
So happy to know that I’m not crazy 😃 bc I have gone through countless writing tools to find what suits me best! Plus, as I gain more life experience, my grip choices have changed as well. Thank you for providing detailed information to help me find what works best for me so I can donate those that don’t.
i'm actually not too surprised by these features. japanese people use pencils a lot. some professions requires them to use pencils for hours. and these features would really help in each of those specific professions.
Man! I don't know what it is. I have terrible hand-writing and for the last five decades have overwhelmingly used a typewriter, word processor, or computer but I just can't resist pen and pencil videos.
I went through junior high and high school using the simple Bic Mechanical pencils. I'd use a separate eraser so I could easily remove the eraser in the pencil and refill them. Nothing spectacular by any means, but they were cheap and worked just fine, if I lost one or wore one out, I simple grabbed another from my bag. I hated using regular wood pencils because of having to sharpen them usually after braking the lead from being in my bag being jostled around from classroom to classroom. I still don't have any fancy mechanical pencils, I still use those cheap Bic Mechanical pencils.
the zebra sarasa multi clip was great for taking notes in college. loved having the chunky body + pen/pencil switch option, and refill options were super nice :~)
The problem I have is the 0.7 has been forgotten or at least have been ignored. It's the goldilocks between 0.5 and 0.9 but don't have the selection as the 0.5 does.
I think the Japanese are a cut above the rest when it comes to stationery. They think of everything! Even something that would never occur to you. And then when you discover that thing they did, you're like "where has this been all my life?" Looooove!
Used a zebra delguard and a kuru toga advance but I have a tight grip (i broke the kuru toga). Love my new alpha gel switch!! It's the perfect pencil for me as it combines the kuru toga mechanism with the super cushy grip. Now if they just made the alpha gel with the same tip type as the Uni Jetstream edge, I would be in heaven.
@@redemissarium I think it depends on how you hold the pencil. I broke leads with the delguard when I had the lead extended too far and it broke at the angle I held the pencil. The delguard is not a guarantee. I have to remember to hold my pencil more vertically. The kuru toga is more for keeping the lead sharp as opposed to protecting it from breaking. I think it just depends on what you want from your pencil.
i was scrolling through youtube when i saw this video had a mechanical pencil the exact same as my favourite mechanical pencil on the thumbnail ! turns out my favourite is called the pilot mogular mechanical pencil , i really like it because the pencil makes it feel so nice when writing or drawing , also i never knew that you can shake it to increase the length of the lead ! def learned something useful !!
I don’t have the shaker pencil but I have a 0.3 lead uni kuru toga, the lead can’t be too extended or it breaks, so I have to stop and get more lead really often. I see the shaker pencil being really useful for this :)
Zebra has a really cool looking shaker pencil. They have sorta chunky bodies and have a nice rubber-ish grip throughout most of the barrel. If you don't want to use the shaker part, you can simply advance the lead. It's also a nice and weighty pencil
I found similar (and cheaper) mechanical pencil like Pilot S30 mechanical pencil if you want automatic lead advancement and not into drafting pencil, it is Faber Castell Grip Matic; and as I know, it's come only with 0,5mm lead size only. The price is very affordable for all user (under US$5) and the availability should be available everywhere (as Faber Castell is available globally). I'm from Indonesia and it's available everywhere, in a pack that come with a bonus 0,5mm lead refill & eraser. The pencil construction is from plastic, but it's quite durable. The tip pipe had a soft spring, so a little bit push on the tip will extend the lead a little bit. Unfortunately the pipe cannot retract back so it will stay extended outside, but again, i love how the tip help the lead extending automatically. The cons is: 1. it had a little bit rattling sound, and it's quite vibrate on grippy textured paper, but it's very smooth and quite nice on smooth paper. 2. the grip is not as comfy, as it's made from hard plastic rubber. so if you a strong gripper, you should add additional grip rubber with more cushioning (I see some of those sold online). 3. The tip pipe is help protecting the lead, but not so much. If you press down too hard or drop the pencil, the lead still had a chance breaking (usually in the between the clutch & the tip pipes), but still it is way better than Pentel Caplet (that pencil is lead breaker on my hand TwT).
I've used mechanical pencils for years and every time i shop for one i ALWAYS try to find perfection but i usually end up with something that would disappoint me in the long run. that is until i found the zebra delguard, its honestly too good
I want the the wood one, but I say every mechanical pens need the break prevention one. That’s a common problem I have when writing. It is super annoying that I stop writing using .5mm and always go .7mm to lower the rate of breakage.
I have had an S30 for over a year and a half. The wood is delicate on the top section. I also find the lead advance is not that consistent. It's an amazing device though.
I don't think it's enough. Some real mind blowing innovation through the use of micro electronics. Electric drive systems, global gps tip sensors, maybe even self writing autonomous mode. Try to get Casio G-Shock involved. I just got a pack of yellow pencils. Can you suggest a good sharpener? I like the retro look and feel of a #2.
I am looking forward to our family trip in March. Along with seeing the typical tourist attractions, I want to go to a stationary store and just wander and look.
These pencils are really cool…however, I would never have any use for them. I basically stopped using pencils when they stopped making us use them after 6th grade (US.) But, I can see some of the special engineering aspects of these as being great for people who use pencils as a part of their daily careers. (Actually, as a kid I could have used the one that doesn’t let you crush/break the lead as easily as I press hard when I write.)
I really enjoy using high quality wooden pencils for taking notes. I now have a variety of them; the ones I like best are Tombows. Blackwings are wonderful too but the leads in Blackwings have a tendency to break off when the pencil is put in a Kum manual sharpener. The Tombows suffer this too, but far less often. I like pencils better than pens in most cases.
The ottor 3 pencil has a bit of over engineering as well you flip it onto its side you see three different sizes 0.7 0.5 and also 0.3 hold the pencil vertical on that side so you can see the number then press the button for lead then there is another button to reboot the lead and choose a different one
what I find interesting here is the mogulair is listed but not the delguards? autoadvancement would be on the orenz nero, if the standard nero is too expensive the nero AT exists which is cheaper, S30 is weird since its just the "automac" in an S20 body, and I say "automac" because it lost its double knock mechanism which is the best part of the Pilot automac had they just made it on a lighter body... also the automac is never a "drafting" pencil that goes to the S15 line up or S10 if feeling stingy
OK there's so much cool features I can't even decide which I like most. Is there a pen that has it all? lol of course not. However, what would you recommend as a true multi purpose pencil? I mostly use it for writing (nothing special), sketching and sometimes drawing precise stuff (mostly plans). Not sure if there is really ONE pencile that combines good writing and precise drawing while having good lead support and an ergonomic design!? Any recommendations?
The lead advancement feature sounds nice, but not for $40, so to me it's not over engineered just over priced. The rotating switch pencil IS over done though.
Probably the only feature I'd _actually_ pursue is the thing dealing with sweaty hands but then again, my current *_Porsche Design_*_ Tec Flex_ Series ( Mechanical or Ballpoint ) Pens already deal with this via their woven stainless-steel mesh also providing an unmatched comfortable grip 🤔 Just not in a price sensitive way 😉
now I need a pencil that pushes the eraser up because I've thrown away so many good pencils due to tiny eraser syndrome (I had to put the lead from the tip because I couldn't get the eraser out)
I want a auto lead advance system with kuru toga always sharp to write and lead protection mechanism in one mechanical pencil that’s what I want. Oh additional too maybe lead sizes too so I can switch lead through multiple lead sizes.
Just got the Mogulair today at my school’s bookshop here in Singapore. Got it pre-filled with 2 piece of lead for 3 SGD, 2.17 USD. Quite a steal if you would ask me. Definitely the best contender for my Pilot Rexgrip replacement!
It's not overengineering if it fulfills a practical purpose effectively. You can call it fancy, luxury functions, but they're not overengineered. To explain it in a way that you might understand, think of overengineering the same as writers who write 2 full pages to describe just the texture on the wall just to set the scene when the exact same result can be accomplished in 2 simple sentences. It's superfluous.
What feature did you like best? Do you think they're overengineered? Let us know in the comments and give the video a like to see more overengineered stationery!
I personally think it's just a matter of opinion. Some may find them over engineered, others may not. Again, just a matter of opinion. :)
Also, I think the lead window is actually not the silliest but most practical feature of all! The others may be hit or miss but knowing when you're about to run out of lead is priceless IMO.
Over engineered? No. Specific need identified and met, yes! I loved them all!!
@jetpens I have a Pilot Dr Grip multi pen with the .5 mechanical pencil. I have started using .38 ink refills that I LOVE. Is there a way to change the mechanical pencil portion to be able to use. 38 lead?
I would love the .38 and .5 pencil!! And I'd love the Uni Kuru Toga switch. I do love a smooth edge for drawing.
Almost makes me wish somebody would start a Japanese style stationary store at the nearby mall. The quality of stuff they get seems rather nice, and you normally don't see all the various options with what's normally available in U.S. stores.
Does Daiso count?
@Unknown Person yeah ig but there aren't daisos in every us state
there’s a store in sf japan town that i always go to. they have everything
OK i want the guy who did this voice over to do a what’s in my pen case video cause i have some questions
So. Much. Yes.
Yes, just yes
Oh please oh please oh please
Yes!
🤗🤭
The nicolo would be perfect if it was 0.5 and 0.7 leads (for drawing) because most colored leads are 0.7 and you could switch between graphite 0.5 and colored 0.7
Or for drafting, switching between two different line weights (say, .7 and .3 mm) would be useful
That's a really good idea!
THIS!!! And mostly at stores like target (at least for mine) there are only lead refills for 0.7 pencils
I’m not an artist but I bought the Nicolo thinking that I would be really cool to have different weight, but the pencil itself is very light and rattley which makes it difficult to maintain a consistent dark line. I ended up buying a darker lead grade to make up for lack of weight
As a former kid who used to carry like 6 mechanical pencils around at all times (in school) because I never knew how much lead was left in them, the pencil with a lead warning made me gasp haha! 😅
i feel you!! there was always this anxiety haha. get this pencil!
why not just bring those lead refill container? they are more compact
All you need to do is to hold the pencil horizontally to shake it and feel/hear the lead inside, and keep a pack of lead in the pencil case at all times...
Backup mechanical pencil is more to do with if a pencil got stuck and no time to fix...
Yess! I did too! I'm still in high school and my pencil case has all kinds of pencils, mechanical (5 that are 0.5mm and one that's 0.7) and non mechanical, from HB all the way up to 8B😅😅
Can’t you just take off the eraser and check how much lead is left…
Is it weird that I found every pencil in this video really cool? And I just tried out my very first Blackwing wooden pencil. Is there a "Stationery Anonymous" group therapy for this? 😁
not weird broski we all watching the vid
Yep, it’s this comment section 😆
Not weird it’s true

You should! It's so nice!
Rotation lead and lead protection should both be in every pencil! Squishy grip is a bonus
The pilot s30 had me at the real birch body - utterly beautiful. But the auto advance feature is also attractive.

i LOVE the airblanc!! i have all 6 colors, they're so cute and i love that they're 0.3, definitely my most used pencils
Is it really comfortable and cool? I'm just doing research on it.
Does it actually feel cool?
I don't understand how it's supposed to work. Air is a great insulator, so putting a layer of trapped air between your finger and the pencil seems like a great way to get extra warm fingers.
While I absolutely don't mind having separate pencils for different situations, I can see how some of these would really help with saving space on the go or something

at this point, I wouldn't be surprise if one day Japan has mechanical pencil with built-in airbag

I wish there was one master mechanical pencil with all of those tools in it
agreeing with the guy above me, it makes sense. I feel as if a mechanical pencil with all of them would be too bulky and uncomfortable
It would not last long, as it tries to be everything.
One mechanical pencil to rule them all
I recently bought the Uni Alpha Gel Switch Mechanical Pencil, the comfort, handling, quality is absolutely amazing! I'm going to go replace all my stuff with Japanese tools.
Me too! I switched pens, pencils, and notebooks when I started grad school. Wish I had done it ages ago.

デジタル化が進む時代に日本のペンを紹介してくれて嬉しいかぎり。

Why do I love watching videos about mechanical pencils..? 😭
It's like I'm obsessed or something-
But hey, great vid :) I enjoyed it very much
Man! I don't know what it is. I have terrible hand-writing and for the last five decades have overwhelmingly used a typewriter, word processor, or computer but I just can't resist pen and pencil videos.

Maybe you can have one video about the "cheap but comfortable to use mechanical pencil for students" because I need one lol

2:57 確かにDr.grip のいろいろはなシャーペンがあり太くて持ちやすいです。ただ、この動画で紹介しているDr.grip はかなり個人差が激しくこの動画にも出ているS30もかなり個人差が激しいです。
理由はこの動画に出てきたDr.grip はDr.grip ace でこのシャーペンはDr.grip の二重構造のグリップではなく､デルガードよりも先端が引っ込みがしやすいので持ちづらくかきにくくなっています。
S30はオレンズネロやオレンズAT、クルトガダイブなど自動芯出し機構よりも先端が引っ掛かり安く書き味がかなり悪いからです。
1:54 I like the the way these pencil designs really think about the little ways to make things more convenient, like the airblanc for sweaty palms.
I think the Japanese are a cut above the rest when it comes to stationery. They think of everything! Even something that would never occur to you. And then when you discover that thing they did, you're like "where has this been all my life?" Looooove!
Because they actually use it, their degree of computerization is still lower than most countries. That explains a lot.
I need them all
Been using Dr. Grip for the longest time now. Love it!
Of course we think they are ridiculously overengineered. Thats why we love them so much

i can vouch for only using the shake mechanism in opt.s when i refill my lead
Zebra has a really cool looking shaker pencil. They have sorta chunky bodies and have a nice rubber-ish grip throughout most of the barrel. If you don't want to use the shaker part, you can simply advance the lead. It's also a nice and weighty pencil
@@yamigekusu Thanks for the FYI
@@kaferrat you can also click to advance the lead in dr. grip pencils. I have one that i got in 2001, and it's still going strong
If I used a pencil (which I dont) the Pilot S30 sounds interesting. Never have to extend a lead? I might just like using a pencil.
No sharpening needed? No blunting tip?Not even remotely the same.
I found similar (and cheaper) mechanical pencil like Pilot S30 mechanical pencil if you want automatic lead advancement and not into drafting pencil, it is Faber Castell Grip Matic; and as I know, it's come only with 0,5mm lead size only.

The pencil construction is from plastic, but it's quite durable. The tip pipe had a soft spring, so a little bit push on the tip will extend the lead a little bit. Unfortunately the pipe cannot retract back so it will stay extended outside, but again, i love how the tip help the lead extending automatically.
The cons is:
1. it had a little bit rattling sound, and it's quite vibrate on grippy textured paper, but it's very smooth and quite nice on smooth paper.
2. the grip is not as comfy, as it's made from hard plastic rubber. so if you a strong gripper, you should add additional grip rubber with more cushioning (I see some of those sold online).
3. The tip pipe is help protecting the lead, but not so much. If you press down too hard or drop the pencil, the lead still had a chance breaking (usually in the between the clutch & the tip pipes), but still it is way better than Pentel Caplet (that pencil is lead breaker on my hand TwT).

imagine being the cool kid with suspension in your lead pencil
One of my favorite mechanical pencils is made by Tul, and as for a pen the ohto fude ball, its the biggest ball point pen @ 1.5mm!
Rotating lead is a sketch artist pencil. Your lead always stays evenly sharp, without a chisel point !
Again, we need a pencil with all of these
No cap i got recommended the first over engineered mechanical pencils vid and i decided to invest in a kuru toga lol
The automatic lead advancement is so cool!
I don't think it's enough. Some real mind blowing innovation through the use of micro electronics. Electric drive systems, global gps tip sensors, maybe even self writing autonomous mode. Try to get Casio G-Shock involved. I just got a pack of yellow pencils. Can you suggest a good sharpener? I like the retro look and feel of a #2.
In love with these!
As a procrastinator, if I live in Japan, I would spend my time in the stationary stores choosing my pencils instead of doing my homeworks.
Damn, you just described me perfectly as well
I am looking forward to our family trip in March. Along with seeing the typical tourist attractions, I want to go to a stationary store and just wander and look.

Oh man. I miss my Pilot shaker mechanical pencil. Rest in pieces 😭
I still love my Uni Kuru Toga
my jaw dropped when you said that you can turn off the rotating lead on the last one., I love it
I have a pilot Dr grip ace shaker.tht thing is very comfortable
The ohto conception it's just the ohto super promecha done right for what I see
The lead advancement feature sounds nice, but not for $40, so to me it's not over engineered just over priced. The rotating switch pencil IS over done though.
Don't knock it till you try it. :) it's surprisingly nice.
I mean it's made of burch, you're paying for the novelty not practicality
These are cool! But the only thing I use a pencil for is woodworking nowadays
We need a part 3

now I need a pencil that pushes the eraser up because I've thrown away so many good pencils due to tiny eraser syndrome (I had to put the lead from the tip because I couldn't get the eraser out)
Claasmate: "May I borrow your pencil?"
Me: "Are you ready to die if you don't give it back?"
The person who did the voiceover sounds like he should narrate videos for Cruise tours.
What was the clock in the background?
"This next feature, might just be the silliest on this list"
*Proceeds to list the single most useful feature on the list*
I print a great deal so the rotating feature works very well for me - I guess if I needed to turn it off there is now an answer.
These are so cool, came from the first vid
I want a auto lead advance system with kuru toga always sharp to write and lead protection mechanism in one mechanical pencil that’s what I want. Oh additional too maybe lead sizes too so I can switch lead through multiple lead sizes.
I wish I had these in school
Feels like the narrator is trying to convince me to buy these pencils
Can you plz make a video of the classmate octane gel pen
Sería fantástico que además de la gran avance tecnológico pudieran mostrar ejemplos de letra manuscrita que reforzaría la imagen! Gracias

Nothing beats a Kuru Toga. NOTHING!
Just got the Mogulair today at my school’s bookshop here in Singapore. Got it pre-filled with 2 piece of lead for 3 SGD, 2.17 USD. Quite a steal if you would ask me. Definitely the best contender for my Pilot Rexgrip replacement!
Combine all the features into a single pencil
I didnt know i could shake my pencil! I bought it at muji while in japan and i didnt know!!
I just rewatched the previous video yesterday
Wow i would love that suspension pencil but iam so broke
3:52 might buy it :))
It's not overengineering if it fulfills a practical purpose effectively.
You can call it fancy, luxury functions, but they're not overengineered.
To explain it in a way that you might understand, think of overengineering the same as writers who write 2 full pages to describe just the texture on the wall just to set the scene when the exact same result can be accomplished in 2 simple sentences. It's superfluous.
I want them all, and I almost never use pencils 😅
I misheard 'let us know' at the end as 'lead us know'... I guess I'm seeing too many good mechanical pencils in the video 😅
