Ich glaube nicht, dass ich eine Waage habe, die fein genug ist …sonst koennte ich messen wieviel Druck bei meinem Exemplar benoetigt wird. My original Kuru Toga needs much more force to move the ‘engine’, I think three times as much, but I am not 100% sure about the number. Some of the technologies we use are necessary for critical functions like security and site integrity, account authentication, security and privacy preferences, internal site usage and maintenance data, and to make the site work correctly for browsing and transactions. I hold the pencil at a roughly 40 degree angle, and usually rotate it myself every couple of words (something I had to consciously stop when trying the Kuru Toga).

The simplest way to test them is by lightly pressing the pencil against your thumb’s fingernail and observing if the lead mechanism (there’s a plastic doover under the plastic with a mark on it that you can observe) is moving.As you use a regular mechanical pencil, the lead wears down on one side, forming a slanted wedge-shaped tip. Several of my colleagues wandered how does it work, because it has only Japanese language on the package. So the conclusion I’ve drawn is that it’s indeed a matter of pressure and perhaps angle when writing.

I grew up with the simple Faber-Castells and wooden pencils, and tend to spin them whenever I pause, and since this may work against the Kuru Toga, I constantly have to remind myself to not spin. The precision offered by the ADVANCE Upgrade Model allows for intricate details, making it a must-have for anyone passionate about art or precise writing. To reduce the risk of fire, never leave vintage electrical or electronic products plugged in unattended. With a good fountain pen or a high-end gel pen, there’s pretty much no need to apply pressure while writing. The mechanism only works when the pencil is lifted, so if you were to only draw a line around the page then the led wont rotate.Your writing will always remain clean and sharp, and you don’t have to worry as much about lead breakage.

That was my first test and did disappoint me, but hey this is a pencil to be used for writing, not drawing. For example, English language can be written one word without lifting the pencil, while Japanese have to lift the pencil several times for one word.
