Description
The standard length of a pencil lead is typically around 60 mm. In a conventional pencil, the pencil is only able to clutch the lead core until the last 10 cm. The remaining lead then typically becomes unstable and unusable. This wastes almost 17% of your lead! The Platinum OLEeNU, on the other hand, can clutch a lead core until the very last 0.5 mm! That's an incredibly short piece of lead.

An ordinary pencil's clutch mechanism has an interspace that causes the lead to become weak and unstable.

The OLEeNU clutch mechanism eliminates that gap.

The OLEeNU addresses the issue of lead breakage through the implementation of four major features.

1. OLEeNU Guard
In ordinary mechanical pencils, a gap exists between the mechanism that grasps the lead and the pencil tip, resulting in an unprotected lead piece that is easily broken from pressure or movement. The OLEeNU contains two additional clutch parts (blue and yellow pictured below) that hold the lead to avoid breakage.

2. Internal spring
An internal spring absorbs shock during writing to decrease lead breakage.

3. Sliding metal tip
The tip features a sliding metal sleeve that moves with the lead to give it extra support

4. "Zero Shin"
Since the clutch of an ordinary mechanical pencil is located a slight distance from the tip, typically around 10-12 mm of lead is left unusable at the end (i.e. lead is too short for the pencil and must be thrown away). The two additional clutch pieces of the OLEeNU allow you to use lead up to 0.5 mm in length.

This review is from Platinum OLEeNu Lead Breakage Prevention Mechanical Pencil - 0.5 mm - Black Body
This is my new favorite pencil for class! It really does help with lead breakage, which is a problem because nobody likes it when you have to click the pencil over and over to advance the new piece of lead and then have to repeat the annoyance ten minutes later(yes, I take a lot of notes).
Another really great thing about this pencil is that the eraser cap fits on the clip while writing so I don't lose it - I really like that.
Overall, this is a sturdy but light pencil that does what it says it does and I'm glad I ignored other reviews and got it. The only thing I have changed is putting a super cushy grip over the pencil because I hold it so close to the tip that grips that come with the pencil never work for me, however this pencil is slim enough to accommodate that - yay!

This review is from Platinum OLEeNu Lead Breakage Prevention Mechanical Pencil - 0.5 mm - Black Body
Despite what platinum itself says about its oleenu pencil...I don't like this pencil for writing. In fact, it's clever features would prove to be a deal breaker to the heavy handed writers out there...no, this is intended for something equally, if not, greater, than writing...MECHANICAL PENCIL ART!!!!!
Why? Because it minimizes lead breakage, a plus, but most importantly, allows the user to press on the paper much harder for burnishing and hard outlines, for imprints and so much more. This pencil makes the mechanical pencil less of a 'use when necessary' tool, and much more of a 'use because it rocks' tool. It really is a game changer, and for the money, not a bank robber by any means.

I think the breakage prevention works well. I really need this because I like a 3 or 4B lead for my class notes and they break easier.
This pencil also advances lead a lot more quietly than others I've tried, also a must for class!

This review is from Platinum OLEeNu Lead Breakage Prevention Mechanical Pencil - 0.5 mm - Black Body
This is a very comfortable pencil to write with. Everything about it is as advertised. However, the clip fell off almost immediately. I don't really care, it was a horrible clip to begin with. I have not ever broken a lead with this pencil and it is completely reliable. The sliding sleeve allows me to write so long that I'm often surprised when I have to push the button. A previous reviewer thought that the lead breakage claim was over-stated. My daughter often bangs my pencils and pens unconsciously on the desk top when she's thinking. These 0.5 mm leads cannot survive that, but that can't be blamed on the pencil. This is a very good deal and works very well.

This review is from Platinum OLEeNu Lead Breakage Prevention Mechanical Pencil - 0.5 mm - Black Body
This pencil is the WORST pencil I now own (out of about 2 dozen) as far as "loose lead" near the end. At about 20 mm the lead is ready to fall out, sometimes does. I can't IMAGINE where they get "use the lead down to 1 mm". The secondary holding clutch has absolutely zero grip. Maybe I got a bad one.
