Uni Kuru Toga Advance Rotating Mechanical Pencil

Uni Kuru Toga Advance Rotating Mechanical Pencil

The Uni Kuru Toga Advance (M5-559) delivers exceptionally sharp, uniform handwriting with Mitsubishi Pencil's double-speed W-Speed lead rotation engine. Designed for precise note-taking, drafting, and mathematics, the internal mechanism turns the 0.5mm core every 20 strokes—twice as fast as the standard Kuru Toga—ensuring a symmetrical conical point that resists chipping and smudging. Coupled with a sliding, fully retractable metal guide pipe, the Advance guards against lead breakage under pressure and tucks away securely for everyday carry.

Key Features

• Double-Speed W-Speed Engine: 20-stroke rotation mechanism rotates twice as fast as original Kuru Toga models, preserving an ultra-fine, precise line width.
• Sliding Lead Protection Pipe: Polished metal guide sleeve glides upward as the lead shortens, allowing continuous writing while preventing core breakage.
• Fully Retractable Guide Pipe: Nose cone allows the metal sleeve to retract entirely into the pencil body to protect shirt pockets and pencil cases.
• Vibrant Modern Casing: Sleek barrel with translucent grip window displays the rotating gear engine in action alongside a durable metal pocket clip.
• Integrated Refillable Eraser: Features a clean-erasing push-button eraser hidden beneath a snug-fitting metallic top cap.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What makes the Kuru Toga Advance different from the standard Kuru Toga?
  The Advance rotates the lead twice as fast (once every 20 strokes versus every 40), maintaining an even sharper, finer point ideal for smaller handwriting and kanji.
• Does the lead sleeve retract for safe carrying?
  Yes, holding the push button while pressing the tip against a firm surface retracts the entire metal pipe into the nose cone.
• Can I write without constantly clicking the pencil?
  Yes, the sliding pipe continues to expose and support the lead as it wears down, allowing you to write longer between clicks.
• What refill lead is recommended for this pencil?
  Standard 0.5mm leads fit perfectly, with Uni NanoDia or Smudge-Proof leads providing optimal rotation and dark, break-resistant lines.
• Is the eraser refillable?
  Yes, the eraser under the cap can be replaced with standard Uni mechanical pencil eraser refills (Size S / SKS).
