Buying questions
What is the difference between Kuru Toga and Hold mode?
Kuru Toga mode rotates the lead as you write to help maintain the point. Hold mode keeps the lead fixed for a more stable feel. The Alpha Gel grip remains cushioned in either mode.
Which lead size does this model use?
This listing is for the 0.5mm mechanical pencil. Choose 0.5mm replacement lead to match the model; the mode switch changes the lead's behavior, not its diameter.
