The Super Promecha is the top of the excellent Promecha range. A serious mechanical pencil suitable for a range of uses apart from its core target of professional drafting.
Built from virtually 100% metal - largely aluminium, with matt silver finish over some brass components. The only plastic we can find is the lead reservoir.
The grip area is 10.5mm diameter and finished in a fine diamond-cut knurled pattern. The upper barrel is hexagonal 8.3mm diameter, set unusually with four rubber o-rings. Total weight approx 19g.
OK, let's get to the feature list:
The all-metal top button contains a lead grade indicator running in 7 steps from B to 4H. Removes to reveal the replaceable eraser and clearing pin.
The clip removes by unscrewing the top of the barrel.
The lead sleeve is fully retractable by turning the grip. It extends up to 5mm for classic drafting uses, or can be set partially extended between 0 and 5mm for writing purposess - it's best to always extend it at least a little, to protect the lead. This feature makes the Super Promecha reasonably pocket-safe.
Finally, the unique killer feature. The rotary control inset just above the grip adjusts how much lead is dispensed with each click of the push-button - between 0.2mm and 2mm according to preference. Very clever.
For eraser refills, we recommend the Pilot GMSK eraser refill.

OHTO's history is this history of modern Japanese pens. They were the first company to make a ballpoint pen in Japan, and they invented the liquid-ink rollerball pen we now know and love. Other innovations have included the first ballpoint pen with a rubber grip, and the first gel pen with a ceramic tip. They make pens and refills for many other brands, so it's quite likely you've used their products before, even if you didn't know it!
Cult Pens is the premier importer of OHTO for the UK, and we have the widest range of OHTO products in Europe, with full manufacturer support.
