Uni Kuru Toga: Advanced vs Pipe Slide vs Standard Mechanical Pencils
Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 жов 2018
- Uni Kuru Toga models explained! Standard ( amzn.to/2Oec8KW ) compared to the Pipe Slide ( amzn.to/2JmJXIK ) compared to the Advanced ( amzn.to/2SqR0oc ).
The price ranges are a little but more than I said in the video, but they are about $5 to up $8. A nice Roulette kit ( amzn.to/2D715ly ) is about $10 if you want to upgrade.
My favorite of the bunch is the Advanced. It looks cool and works well. I like the weight and the price is reasonable. It's auto-rotation of the lead happens at 2x speed which seems just right for me.

The most useful and comprehensive review of Kuru Toga I've ever seen, thanks so much!
Hard to find great videos that are short! Thank you!!!
I used a standard Kuru Toga for about two years as my main mechanical pencil. I liked the pencil. It was very reliable. I switched about a year ago to a standard Zebra DelGuard. I prefer the DelGuard because it feels better when writing. Both pencils are great and I would love writing with both. I have used many mechanical pencils and the Kuru Toga and DelGuard are my favorites. I bought the Kuru Toga at Staples and the DelGuard at Walgreens.
Have you had an issue with a standard version that the tip part of the pencil was breaking.
One outstanding feature of the KURU TOGA(regardless of version), is the tip not breaking, provided you DO NOT extend the lead more than 2mm. Longer than this will render it susceptible to breaking, like any other pencil. This pencil will always have 2mm tip as it also has an auto-feed feature. Good luck.
@@Richard1855 wait the kuru toga has an auto-feed feature??
@@goldfinchui1432 i doubt it highly. I think he got the automatic lead shifting with an automatic lead feed.
The Delgard is good but the issue with it for me is that so many good mechanical pencils have entirely adequate lead protection features. So it’s specialization is essentially over killing an issue that almost no one has.
Thank you for uploading this! I found this very helpful for my online (0-ratings/reviews) purchase. 😃
Excellent review of these mechanical pencils! 👍 Thanks! Also, you have very nice hands. 😊
I was thinking about how the Delguard and the Kuru Toga are competitors in spite of doing very different things... here's what I came up with:
The 0.3mm Delguard combines the inherent thin line of 0.3mm lead with the break-resistance typically found only in thicker lead.
The 0.7mm Kuru Toga combines the inherent toughness of 0.7mm lead with the line-width of a thinner lead.
Two different ways to achieve "best of both worlds".
So as I see it, the 0.5mm Delguard is NOT a competitor to the Kuru Toga, but the 0.3mm Delguard is.
I watched you review spinners ... now I’m in the market for Mechnical pencil ... and I came here ... I was looking at the roulette 😉
Thank you for the review, i'm thinking of getting one of these, but the price here in my country is really expensive
VERY GOOD REVIEW~! Straight to the point, didn't need any tables or a fancy showcase. I've been using the Kuru Toga Roulette model for years, but decided I wanted a grip of a different material. Hopefully, I'll be able to get the advanced model and one with a soft grip that I haven't descided on.
I made a change of the grip. I took a grip from a Papermate mechanical pencil and slipped it onto my KURU TOGA and haven't looked back. Have a good look at the numerous grips made by other manufacturers and I pretty sure you will find one that you like. Happy hunting 🙂
your review s just awesome. thanks bro
Thank you 😊
+1 for rotating ink :)
Can you share how you store your collection. Do you put em in a special box or so ? Curious to see that, Pls share. Thank you
The Alpha Gel body combined with the faster rotation from the Kuru Toga Advance/Pipe Slide would basically be my mechanical pencil heaven for me.😁✏️
Yeah that would be great!
@@edenlee0 - Right? I also couldn’t forget about the sliding lead sleeve. My Uni Alpha Gel Kuru Toga fixed lead sleeve keeps poking my bag, pocket, and leg.😭
I too own all these UNI mechanical pencils beginning from the standard and graduating to the Advance, starting off about the same time you made this video. This is my observation watching your video. Instead of extending the lead that you have which is about 4mm, try extending it to 1-2mm, after all this all that is needed to write with; as we all know that the Kuru Toga system rotate and extend the lead automatically. What I have discovered that by doing this, I can press down very hard, thus making my writing darker; yet NOT break the lead. Here again the Advance has an inbuilt safeguard mechanism to achieve this. I demonstrated this to some work colleagues and got them to try this, much to their amazement. One of them immediately ordered one on-line. Good video by the way.
Thanks! Appreciate the thoughtful comment
How do you change the LED
@@RiaG268 once you have used up all the lead or want to change the type, it is quote a simple process. Remove the top push end cap. Underneath it should an eraser, which also serves a a plug. Remove the eraser plug and tip the pencil upside down and the existing lead should fall out. At this point, you can put in the type of lead that you like(mine is HB), you should be able to put in at least six pieces. Reinstall the eraser plug and top push end cap and it is all done🙂. What I have described is for a uni KURU TOGA mechanical pencil and I'd imagine would be very similar for the other brands.
I figured it out like mins after asking🤗. Thank you
Wait, the kuru toga is auto feed? Wtf? This has everything lmao
Oh no! I just bought an advanced in black! Will it have that clear tube outside too?
Japanese product is just extra, so many Innovative features
But once you go there, you will never back to normalcy
Really loving my Japanese stationary!
I got the roulette but the knurling irritates the skin on the side of my middle finger's nail, so I put a rubber sleeve on it which defeats the purpose of the design I guess. My dream pencil is a delguard lx with the same springiness but the lead rotation of the kuru toga.
What about the Alpha Gel Kuru Toga?
They kind of feel cheap. I like the roulettes.
Should i buy the pipe slide or the advance?
I got really confused since the two's mechanism are just the same.
Same but i found out the advanced just now has metal and the pipe slide dosent do yeah
What's the difference between these models that you reviewed and the Roulette? I noticed that it is a couple bucks more, but it doesn't seem like they have any differences besides the knurled grip
Roulette are metal body and shape differently, but they all have lead rotating feature
Can you retract the needle tip of the kuru toga standard in the barrel to prevent damage?
No, I'm afraid you can't do that.
Can you do a review of the right handed version?
😹
To make it clear which one has the faster lead rotation mechanism??
The fastest one is "Advance" model
Ik It’s a weird question but when you press the top of pencil upside down, does the sleeve fall down when you press the cap, and lead doesn’t come out? (Advance)
And are there seam lines in the clear plastic grip? (Advance)
Good
Where and how did you get the see through version of the kuru toga advance please let me know. Thank you.
Sal I looked there but I will check it out again. Thank you tho. :)
@@JustOnlyOnePiece do u know where to find it
does the advance have a springy feeling than the standard model? the advance goes faster so that should mean it has a springier feeling
Not drastically different
Where did you get the clear advance?
@@unsharpen Hi can i ask you about other models? The alpha gel and roulette version is like standard or advance? Or pipe slide?
There are some on jetpens
funny thing is here in the philippines the pipe slide is cheaper than the standard model 😂😂😂
Ay send link need that pipe slide model
isnt the pipe slide for retracting the lead if you press too hard so that it never breaks?
There is a little give which helps w that but the springy pipe is mainly a feature of the zebra delguard
@@unsharpen I see.
Whats the difference of the pipe slide and advance?
advance looks better and has some metal parts
Where did you get that clear kuru toga advance?
Amazon Japan I believe
Thanks very much
FINALY I FOUND HOW :edit worst not there
Does anyone have extra skeleton advance versions :( I want one
eBae
I bought the third one, Kuru Toga Advance, but it's mush different. I mean your one is fully transparent and mine isn't. Additionally, mine price is round about 3-4 dollars (Since I bought it in local store having a different currency, so the price is not specific)
Hm that sounds like standard not the advance. Did you buy it online? Share a link?
Hi does anyone know a mechanical pencil that has the automatic lead advance mechanism if yes pls message me
Pentel Orenz
@@cuscoothriyas5163 Ty i managed to buy an normal orenz a few months ago I'm going to buy the Nero once I get the money from my dad or something
When I’m idiot I give my Clutch Pencils to friends and they broke the whole time this tells that I’m a huge idiot
Lol... I got a kuru toga with 2 dolars lol
