Disclosure: The nice folks at Jet Pens sent me some free stuff right before Christmas.
Full Disclosure: I’m already a repeat customer with Jet Pens, so my opinion is not influenced by free swag. I like the products I get at Jet Pens — I shop there because they offer items my local businesses don’t provide and I can get all the brands I enjoy in one place.
Short point of this post: The Kuru Toga is the best mechanical pencil I’ve ever used. I’ve seen others praise this device, but never picked one up as I had plenty of nice pencils already. But I was happy when Brad from Jet Pens sent one over.
There aren’t a lot of activities I enjoy more at work than sketching the basic building blocks of a new design. The Kuru Toga has taken over as my go to sketching tool. Lovely weight and a quality build make it a pleasure to use.
“The key to generating many ideas is to withhold judgment of them as good or bad until your sketching session is complete. First capture the ideas, letting them flow without worrying if they’re any good. Wait until you’re finished to judge and filter.”
