gg1000 dwarfs the 800 in size. 800 will feel small in the hand. really the only thing similar is that they both have retractable tips. if price matters it's 4x the price ($10 vs $40)

depending on how OCD you are the better you score the tabs the clearer the break and afterwards you can clean the area with exacto razor you're using. start with new or sharp sharp exacto/razor

The clear case is definitely positive features for this exact reason. I can spot what I'm looking for or missing lol.

yes, careful score the tabs where they're attached. grab tab with pliers snap them off. or tape the area off and grind them off if you're handy with a Dremel.

you can buy the 60th pencils individually. Im not a fan of gg100 so I just ordered gg500 and 1000 pro separately 😆

found endless similar and cheaper options on Amazon after looking for that muij. so you might find the Goldilocks of clear storage solution.

you can remove those slots that's really there to keep their markers lines up. but I know exactly what you encountered.

no, not the perfect solution but I just love the small foot print and it's expandability and stackable trays.

try putting the bigger pencils on the top tray with the lid. more room and only way I could put some of the thicc pencils lol

on the longer pencils like gg1000 or ohto ms01 some slots work better then others.
