■ Release of “PRO-USE 171,” the next generation mechanical pencil!

Drastic improvements have been made to the PRO-USE series, which has been well received as a mechanical pencil for professional drafting. We are now releasing “PRO-USE 171,” a new mechanical pencil that allows you to select a specific writing feel.

In recent years, more people have begun to use mechanical drafting pencils for daily use.  Mechanical drafting pencils are specially designed with a low center gravity and non-slippery grip to assist in drawing a stable line while also providing a comfortable writing feel. On the other hand, a weak point is that the lead breaks easily when too much writing pressure is applied.

To ensure continuous writing quality, PRO-USE 171 applies the “Safety Slide Mechanism,” a built-in mechanism used in lead-free mechanical pencils such as the “PRESS MAN” and “OLEeNU” series.

0.3mm lead  #9 Silver

0.5mm lead  #56 Blue

0.7mm lead  #1 Black

0.9mm lead  #3 White

■Snork System is applied to let you select the writing feel of your choice!

The application of the Safety Slide Mechanism does not fully provide the writing feel that a mechanical drafting pencil can offer. Therefore the Snork System was developed. With our PRO-USE 171, the users can enjoy two types of writing feel: the delicate feel of the lead on the paper, or a stable feel, with unbreakable lead even when applying strong pressure. Also, as the length of the lead is changed by rotating the tip of the pencil, you can adjust the height against a ruler, or paper, to obtain the writing feel of your choice.

■ Instructions on how to use the Snork System

1. Adjust the length of the lead pipe

By rotating the taper, you can adjust the length of the lead pipe.

2. ON/OFF function for the lead cushion

By rotating the body while holding the gripper, the cushion (Safety Slide Mechanism) can be switched ON/OFF.
