Pentel is a leading Japanese stationery company, and the maker actually introduced its flagship model of mechanical pencils in February 2017.
Pentel Orenz Nero
The company’s flagship product is named “Orenz Nero” whose line consists of auto-advance mechanical pencils.
In other words, when you click the top button of the pen only once, thereafter the lead advances automatically until finished, without further clicking.
Therefore, if you click the pen’s cap just once, you can keep writing letters without taking any further actions to advance the lead.
Vs. Pilot Automac
Although Pilot, another major Japanese stationery maker, has already put the same type of auto-feed mechanical pencil on the market, their product, “Automac” is only available in 0.5 mm tips.
