Let's just recognize.. there is a healthy pool of mechanical pencils to "draw" from. :) I appreciate you putting this poll up and was excited to participate. Glad to see us coming together to celebrate our shared interest!!
correction about the kurutoga mechanism 🤓: the advance (or w-speed or double speed) engine is featured in the- kurutoga pipe slide, kt advance, kt advance upgrade the dive, KS, alpha gel switch, (new) metal, all have the kurutoga KS mechanism, in which the rotating piece is towards the butt of the pencil, to reduce tip wobble. i believe all other kurutogas have the basic rotating mechanism (including the roulette)
I own 5 pencils and they were all on the list. Had them all a few years and all going strong. Rotring 600, 2 x Staedtler 925 (1full metal&1plastic), Graphgear 1000 and the base Uni Kuru Toga. After watching this I'm going to buy another😁
so glad the Rotring 600 did so well: this is a lovely mp, not my favourite but it’s still a good pencil - glad Uni kuru-toga did so well too, this was my first mp and still my favourite!:)
lets go my pentel gg 500 is on the list its been 6 year and its still going strong but my all time fav is tombow mono zero(not one or shaker) its dirt cheap and ergo is so good and thicc long eraser unfortunately its been discontinued but there is a newer pencil comes close monograph fine but its quite more than 3 usd for the zero
I really liked this video and hope you'll continue this trend of contrasting your list with viewers list. To me, it feels like the price of the pencil played the biggest role for the ordering. And then we also have the "superstar" pencil Rotring 600 which breaks this bias, making it the true "best value" mechanical pencil. I have one question for people who participated in the voting as I missed it. Did you get to choose only one pencil out of the options or was it like you had to make your own top 10 list? I think the later approach would be even more interesting to see.
First great to see the viewers selection. More interesting to know everyone collective "mindset". And yup ..I knew it ... nothing beats the Rotring 600 (except the 800 :) ) ... it is simply the feeling of super quality and outstanding "Feel". It is strange every time I pick another pencil I think to myself ... how does this compare to the 600? And every single time ... the 600 "feel" wins ... It is what it is.
@@Alex-mc4fh I also think the Orenz Nero is much more sophisticated. The operation System is fantastic. Specially on the 0.3mm it is indeed Superb. Yet even being a much simpler "design" the feel of the 600 while writing is amazing. Oh, and I voted for the 600 first, then the Orenz Nero, Kerry ... Great pencils.
As a true American, I want to state my opinion without actually voting: My favorite is the Pentel Quicker Clicker, in .5 mm. Lately, I have been using Alvin's Draftmatic in 0.9 mm lately for work notes though (and would like to say how disappointed I am that they messed with the color and knurling of that fine pencil).

Rotring 600 is my #1 favorite
I like the weight of it and makes writing comfortable.

Honestly nothing beats sharp p20x for me. Balance between cost and solid build quality
My no1 for writing is Pentel Kerry 0.5mm and for sketching the Pentel Graphgear 500 0.5mm. My most used pencils ever.
Ive just watched your 2023 review, just awesome! Keep going dude.
Pilot dr grip g spec is my fav
Great video! I had a lot of fun voting, and representing the Graph Gear 1000 and Graph 1000 For Pro :) Two of the best pencils out there, IMO.
I have always believed that your vote counts. Hence, the opportunity. :)
Jetpens also have the Dive and the new kuru toga metal variant.
Presently sold out on Dive.
No one from my top three is in!
Mitsubishi Uni M9-552
Faber-Castell TK-Fine Vario L
Pentel Graph1000 For Pro
lets go my pentel gg 500 is on the list
its been 6 year and its still going strong
but my all time fav is tombow mono zero(not one or shaker) its dirt cheap and ergo is so good and thicc long eraser
unfortunately its been discontinued but there is a newer pencil comes close monograph fine but its quite more than 3 usd for the zero

Everyone got to vote for up to ten.

It is what it is.
Pentel orenz Nero, feels more refined

The Pentel Quicker Clicker received a shocking ZERO votes in the poll, and I almost quit the Channel.
@@ClutchSituation I like the 90s version over the new ones to be honest.
Now we need to establish which is the best 2b .5 lead, my guess is uni or pentel ain
Good idea. I will engineer more viewer polls.
NOOOOO Justice for the Clear-point!! Come on guys, you could have made him say it!
MU HU HA HA HA. It got three votes.
New here, sorry being salty, but aren't half of your 2023 list more expensive than the KT Dive?
Kindly try Platinum pro use 241
Also if it has zero shin tech that allows to use most of the lead upto 1mm
Rotring 600 with 69 votes is NICE.
Good reason
FIRST
NOOOO!!! im second…
