mechanical pencils use a top button to
advance the lead forcing you to readjust
your grip every time you click to
prevent this disruption the Uni alpha
gel the tombow mono graph shaker and the
pilot dr. grip feature shaker mechanism
simply shake the pencil to extend the
lead another option is the tumble all no

just slide your thumb and bend the body
of the pencil to advance the lead how
cool is that
ergonomic we waited the kokyo fit curve
and pilot dr. Griffith are ergonomically
weighted with the center of gravity near
the grip section
this makes the rotary writing motion
feel more natural reducing hand fatigue
and preventing wobbly lines the
additional weight also helps tilt the
pencil towards the page reducing the
effort extended by your hand high
quality eraser for those who don't want
to carry a separate eraser look no
further than the end of your mechanical
pencil the tombow mono graph shaker
kokyo fit curve and Pentel twist erase
three all feature high-quality twist up
erasers
