OHTO Super Promecha 1500S (video review)

General Mechanical Pencil Discussion

My latest video is ready

Thank You:
@ulfesharpe Vasco - I removed the bit where I’m fidgeting with the tip regulator.
@drifand Kelvin - I made both corrections - Thank you for the help on the clutch. I BROKE my first MS01 while filming, so I was super paranoid - Especially with my PM-1503S.
@cytherian Gary - I’m going to compare all of my pencils that retract when I do the MS01 video (or sooner). Although the channel will focus on discontinued models, I like the idea of showing comps to modern ones. I did that in this one (showed the Dive for a sec) but TBH was under a time crunch (very busy work week).
Thank you for taking the time to watch, and especially for the feedback.

Here is the corrected version:

If you don’t mind me saying so, maybe there’s excessive fingering to and fro starting min 2:00 to 2:45… What the pencil does should be visible via more compact examples. Granted, it does a lot of things.

Great stuff ntl — keep it up, hombre!

Great video from you Patrick, as always. :trophy:

I wonder… do you have any Platinum drafting pencils, like the Pro Use 171? Perhaps it would be useful to have a short comparison. Yes, the 171 does not feature a lead regulator, only the pipe regulator function. It’s certainly a competitor to the MS01. And on discount sites, it’s about the same price.

Thanks, Gary. I do have some, and they would make a good video. I’ve added them to the queue.

@Pdunc67 - at the 1:19 mark, you said that the PM1500S was available in 0.3/5/7/9… leaving out the 0.4mm. The 0.4 is shown later at 10:04 when you detail the end-cap construction.

At 11:39, it is possible to unscrew the chromed tip to reveal the actual clutch. OK, that’s all I have.

Managed to watch the video only a few moments ago; the fact that you got Dave’s own pencil, and made it the star of one of your videos, is the icing on the cake.

Great job as always, @Pdunc67 !

Thank you :blush:
I told Dave when I bought the pencil from him, I felt like I was buying Muhammad Ali’s boxing gloves. I think this pencil has the best backstory in my collection

I was really happy to get it. I don’t think I’ve ever seen one for sale on Mercari or yahoo auction.
