@@unsharpen I can't recall you doing the Rotring 600 pencil, but if you haven't that'd be great! (The underrated 500 would be cool too.) Pentel also has some other great pencils out there like the GraphGear 500, and the Graph for Pro (Graph 1000) which I especially like. There's the infamous Alvin Draft-Matic which is also great with a sharp as hell knurling. There are also Kuru Toga's which have the revolutionary spinning tip as well as Zebra with the Delguard (Standard, ER, and LX models) with the lead breakage resistance mechanism. These are some of the pencils I have been interested in for years now, but have never got to buying. Sorry for the long paragraph of a response :p
I love the smash! Can't believe I never knew it was available in a ballpoint. If it used a g2 style refill I would definitely track one down and drop the money to get one.
I wish it would come in 0.7 dang. I wish more mechanicals had a 0.7 option because I prefer 0.7 leds for everything and I recommend legit art erasers for 0.7 or 0.9. I am searching for the ultimate mechanical pencil for myself to help save my wrists for more instrument playing and stuff.
Ordered the " Smash " about 5 years ago via Amazon shipped from Japan. Paid 5.50 for it and free shipping. Up until around 10 months ago it was great until I noticed on the top, the " bellow " push button was developing wear and today the plastic/ rubber bellow button has a tear in it, probably from extreme temperature changes espically in the winter, but it still works great. Oh I forgot to mention it's the 0.5 mechanical pencil. Watch out and try not to drop it. It's not pocket friendly. As for the pen, I've never seen it before. What size cartridge comes with it ?
Thanks, I have some other pens that have that same size tip. Makes me wonder what motivated a .38mm size point versus a .4mm or .35mm point. As a lefty I love the point size, it's just seemingly an unusual number to land upon and say "This is the right size."
This one cost about $8 to $10. There are some with different colors which go up to $18 to $20 and I'm trying to justify if they are worth 2X the price although there's no difference other than the color. Thoughts?
@@unsharpen thanks for that. I feel the same too. The Uni Kuru Toga Roulette which feels more solid and presumably writes better with the rotating mechanism is priced lower than this Pentel. I have a hard time deciding whether to get one even for the basic model.
I've had the Smash mechanical pencil for a while and it's one of my highest ranking one. Wish I had the Smash pen.
Loving these pencil reviews!

"You get the point." when talking about the point size indicator on the ball pen. Lol

I have pentel smash for 7 years still awesome some paint faded but I love it
Hey dude is the front head tiny tube of the pencil breakable?
4:34 interesting... It's more expensive than kuru toga
In your opinion, which one is better for long writing and drawing sessions, pilot s20 or smash?

So a little confused, on the pencil version can you put different size lead in it or what is purpose of changing the indicator?? Thanks for your help!
It’s a hardness indicator so you know the type of lead in the pencil (hard, soft)
Idk why, but I like the way you write your “S”
Do you happen to know if the D1 that you talk about here comes in a point that is 0.5mm or less?
Sure sxr-80 comes in .38mm

They are all the same, some colors are just more rare. Not worth it in my opinion but some people collect the smash and love the different colors

Is the b1000 still available in Japan?
@@unsharpen Alright, time to fork over $100+ for a pen
I'll trade you a classic American button top ballpoint pen from a used car lot in Oklahoma with a four didgit phone number on it for that .
뭐라는거야
Dude. I just spend $42 on g...dam pencils. This is b.s..it.
