Today's Daily Pencil

Welcome to the New and Amazing new feature at RN-3, <drumroll...trumpets> "Today's Daily Pencil"! 

If you sign up today...and manage to stay awake the entire season, or even just this episode, YOU could be eligible to win fantastic and unimaginably boring prizes!  So, without further adieu...here's today's edition of...TODAY'S DAILY PENCIL!



Featured today is the OHTO "Super ProMecha" - 0.3mm Mechanical Pencil.  The 'lead' being used in this pencil is Pilot - NEOX in a grade 2B 0.3mm.  This pencil weighs in at a solid 26 gr., and is constructed of all aluminum with solid brass operational internals.  This is an adjustable tip mechanical pencil which is quite unusual in mechanical pencils.  This means the lead sleeve which encases the graphite "lead" is able to be adjusted and/or retracted to varying lengths from 5mm to zero.  The mechanism to execute this action is by rotating the knurled grip area.  The protrusion distance is adjusted by the dual grooved rings just above the knurled grip area.  The reason for this functionality is certain users require different lead sleeve extensions.  Technical Drafting persons, for example, require a longer lead sleeve extension than graphic artists require.  Although not visible in the photograph (dang it!), the eraser cap of the pencil also has an adjustable lead grade indicator so the user can view the lead type in the pencil when he is using multiple pencils of the  same model but containing different lead grades.

That's it for this edition of Today's Daily Pencil.  Stay tuned for more thoroughly exciting episodes in the future.  Thanks for watching, and see you next time!
