uni M71010.26 Shift Pipe Lock Drafting 0.7mm Pencil, Silver Body with Orange Accent (M71010.26)

Really good quality and size, both functional and pleasing the eye. Comes with a little eraser under the cap and 3 pieces of good quality lead.Positives:+Metal grip is really effective and feels good+Easy to write with as its comfortable to hold+Weight distribution is mostly down towards the lower half (I like this and find it better, but it depends on preference I suppose)+Shift mechanism to hide nib is both oddly satisfying/interesting and useful+Eraser under cap+Looks damn good+Reliable and works perfectlyNegatives-Eraser is pretty small, although it can be completely used as it can be drawn out to practically its full length-Body is made of plastic, even though the grip is metal. May as well have made it all metal imo.I use this mostly when annotating, drawing diagrams or rough maths and working out equations. It works really well for my purposes and is definitely a huge step up from my previous Mars Micro I would carry around. The nib can be hidden thanks to the shift mechanism which I love (no more holes through my pockets!) and it never jams, unlike the Mars. Writing is ever so comfortable, and I appreciate the weight distribution. The grip is also one of the few that accommodates even my very low hold, while feeling nice. The eraser is really quite small, but as I mentioned, it can be drawn out from the holder until it is reduced to practically nothing, so not all too bad. In fact, it is lasting longer than the much larger eraser on the Mars due to this fact. I still recommend replacements though.. It feels and acts like it is well built, even though the body is plastic, which only annoys me since the actual pencil has such an all round premium feel and design that the body could have just been the finishing touch. Speaking of body, the actual size of the pencil seems to be average when compared to others, the mechanism doesn't add bulk.

Quality product, from a quality maker [Tombow]. So great to write with and so classy looking. The seller [ Deputi Japan ] So helpful. Very knowledgeable. Have purchased many pens from them now I have no hesitation saying get the pencil. I love writing with it. Get it from them at a considerable saving!

Delighted. Great to hold handle and use. Looks great too

I bought this for the appearance and didn't expect much. It is quite good. I'm no expert, nor do I care too much about pencil specifics, but it feels nice. The portion you hold to write is wider than the pencil which makes it easier to write with. The slide to lock (and protect) mechanism is awesome when I'm carrying this in my bag. The build quality is stunning and the color choice is great (orange 0.7mm). I write heavy, but I may try the 0.5mm version. I wanted the orange though. I wish the colors were all available for each sized lead. The only downfall is the eraser is TINY and I have no clue where to source replacements. Other than that, I'm very happy with this and will be buying another. I fully recommend it.

My son loves it so much. He went through like 4 other mechanical pencils before this one. The one lasted the longest before this took him like 2 weeks to destroy. And he had this one for 3 weeks now and it is still fully functional.

Brilliant pencil .... unfortunatly after 7 yrs its worked itself loose 7 yrs .....Yes .... How & where can i get it repaired ?

no llego, reembolsaron, lo volvi a pedir y si vale la pena, ligero al escribir

Looks beautiful and solidly built (with metal parts) as with other Uni mechanical pencils.
