Please turn on subtitles! :) You'd barely understand my English without a subtitle (^_^')/ I forgot to mention the weights and position of balancing points of these pencils within this video so here we go: - Staedtler 0.5mm: 17g, balancing points stays slightly down toward the tip. This is nice for holding. - Staedtler 2.0mm: 21.5g, balancing points stays in the middle of the pencil (with a new-long lead inside). Oh, one more thing, if anyone watched the video ua-cam.com/video/uEllNb2bwEc/v-deo.html where I compared the Platinum PRO-USE II and the Staedtler. The fact is that when we tap intentionally on the pencils body, the Staedtler failed that test and rattled. But I have to defend it a bit, cuz when I write with Staedtler, I experience no rattles... I guess I already made a harsh test over it. Undoubtedly, the Platinum PRO-USE II (price: 1500 JPY) possesses greater construction and depletes rattles so well compared to Staedtler 925 25 (price: 1200 JPY). But looking at the price, I can't complaint :)
You can say this design,is 100% all about performance and 0% funcy bsht. From the tip cone,that allows maximum visibility (essential for drawing),to the grip design and the materials,it's all about being proper on everything,to provide the best performance ppsdible. That being said,the way the inside is built,is maybe the most important part,because I own a Tikky 0.5 from the early 90's,that it is as precise if not better,than the best Pentel like Geaphgear 500 etc.
@@savageone8931 I haven't got any Rotring so far unfortunately... I'm still searching for one with a proper price including shipping cost. 😅 But Rotring is a popular brand, of course, sooner or later, I can't resist it
Indeed, I have a love-hate relationship with Koh-I-Noor. I got an eraser-pencil from the brand and like it much more than the Tombow Mono Zero. I put the link here if you're interested in erasers: ua-cam.com/video/EBAwCz98jwc/v-deo.html And one single pencil cannot represent the whole brand which has been there for a century🙂. Maybe I was not picking the right product for my taste from the beginning😆. BTW, so happy that I always get your kind comments 🙂!
😊 My pleasure that you like it! The 2mm definitely looks bizarre yet cool in the pool of mechanical pencils. I just wish it had a sharpener included... I'm greedy sometimes 😊
I really wanted to order this pencil but I was frighten by some negative responds. They say it can unscrew itself and break leads... I don't know. Maybe if I see it alive and hold in hands... so for a gift I've bought pencils I already have... I like that 925 seems to be solid but for only pencil it should be something known and close to perfect.
Oh. By the way. The rubber ring over the tip should help to not unscrew the one. Like kuru toga has. The rubber ring will rotate while the tip itself will stay at the same place.
@@ГеоргийСлавин-р8п I haven’t experienced Any lead breaking due to this pencil. I used to have lead breaking on another nice pencil then I realized it was not the pencil’s fault, it’s my fault putting cheap leads in it. The leads seem thicker and hence jamming the brass clutch from time to time. I’d would say plastic clutch is more tolerant than brass clutch 😅. Because brass clutch is more precise and stronger, it tends to be jammed if it’s fed with a bit thicker lead (a cheap lead may not have a precise diameter as it states on its package). It can be any other reason, i dunno🤷♀️
Graphgear 500 ! Best pencil for drawing and a nice writer too. It will also outlive the StaeStaedtler. A Pentel Graphgear 500 can last you,for decades. 925 or Graphgear 1000, will not last more than 2-3 years of use.
STAEDTLER® worldwide The company’s international character is strikingly underlined by its systematic expansion to 9 manufacturing plants worldwide - including four in Germany - and its presence in 26 countries globally through its affiliated companies. Apparently, Staedtler has become an international company and you can buy this German brand pencils made at some other countries :)
@@fanofpencils-cleo774 Actually, what I'm curious about is that rotring and faber castell also produce in japan. and some of its products are now made in China. The ones made in Japan are of a slightly better quality, but those made in China are of poor quality and short-lived. I am a pen collector. old pens are much better quality and all made in Germany. and I have 40, 50 year old pens.
@@Muhendis_Burak The reason old pens are better doesn't have to do with the country they're manufactured in Writing tools now are of poorer quality because there isn't as much business now for pen and pencil manufacturers, since most people now write on computers of phones, and type their essays on the computer and print them, instead of writing them. Even engineers now or draftsman and architect are increasingly leaving the manual tools behind and starting to use computers. Where back in the 70's, 80's.. mechanical pencils, technical pens, etc. were the actual tools professionals used, just like computers are now. So just like there's been a booming in computer hardware technology in modern society since the late 90's, back then there was a booming in the pen and pencil industry. Same thing. So because there isn't as much business as back then (I consider the 80's the golden age of mechanical pencils and drafting pens), the pen manufacturers decide to cut costs to stay in business Like if you compare a vintage Germany made Rotring 600 to a modern Japan made Rotring 600, you can notice a difference in quality of you compare them, like the vintage one had a metal internal mechanism, while the modern one has a plastic tube (the important part and the mechanism are still brass thankfully) So writing tools now are more of a hobbyist thing, apart from the generic school supplies for middle and high schoolers. Some brands managed to carve a safe niche for themselves by aiming their business at artists, like Sakura did. And concerning the reason they're made in Japan, it's probably because Japan is the country with the biggest industry and culture for writing tools nowadays specially mechanical pencils. Staedtler pencils are still very good quality like these ones in the video, they often partner with japanese stores and have special editions like the gold and green silver series So yeah I suggest you pick up all the vintage pens and pencils you want, because as time goes on they will just become more scarce (specially new old stock) and logically their prices will go up

ASMR, sharpness and elegance at once
Great pencils. I got a 925 .7 blue a few years ago and it’s the reason I got into mechanical pencils. 👍✌️
True, a nice pencil is more than just a writing instrument, it makes the using experience totally different 😊. In my case, it's a Pilot S3🙂.
@@fanofpencils-cleo774 I agree(;
Have you tried Rotring’s ?

@@fanofpencils-cleo774 what state are you in ? if you live in California, you can get quick free shipping with jet pens
Unfortunately I don't live in US... Thank you very much for your kind suggestion! 😊
I just bought this pencil and I'm so excited for it I keep looking for other people with it 😂
I feel like I am one of the few around that likes the Koh-I-Nor, and the Staedtlers are excellent, great video.

@@fanofpencils-cleo774 Always nice to chat with other pencil fanatics, thank you for sharing your passion for pencils.
BTW my favorite lead sharpener for my Staedtler 2mm is the m&r brass lead pointer.
I have a couple Koh I Noor and Creta color lead holders, my favorite are the short ones, they're pretty handy
Never seen a 2mm before, very cool!
😊 My pleasure that you like it! The 2mm definitely looks bizarre yet cool in the pool of mechanical pencils. I just wish it had a sharpener included... I'm greedy sometimes 😊
I was planning to pick up this pencil in 1.3mm. I would be helpful to know if the clutch made of plastic or brass?
It’s a brass clutch. The pencil was disassembled at 7:00 in this video 😊
I really wanted to order this pencil but I was frighten by some negative responds. They say it can unscrew itself and break leads... I don't know. Maybe if I see it alive and hold in hands... so for a gift I've bought pencils I already have...

Pentel Graphgear 500 or Staedtler ?

Staedtler personally. The grip is more evolved and the round upper body is more comfortable.
Which one do you prefer steadtler 925 or pentel Gg1000/500?
It depends on the mood of that day😆
Pentel Graphgear 500,is the most precise and the one,that will last way longer than the Gg1000 or the 925 Staedtler. I,d easily choose the Gg500.
@@greekveteran2715 How is the GG500 more precise ? The 925 has zero tip wobble and a more positive grip.
Hello there. why are these types of german pens produced in japan? and they all have fabeikas in japan? Or do they have it done by other brands?
