Pros & Cons
Pros
The uni korutoga is near perfection, but the auto-rotating lead is inconsistent. The eraser end is silver and red. The barrel is a matte, cross-hatched black. A sharpie fine point cap fits perfectly well. I just use a seperate eraser so that is not an... Read More
This is the cheapest rotring mechanical pencil. The twist mechanism will protect the pointy metal part that the lead comes out of. Took me about an hour and a half total to fish hook it out using bent paper clips.
This is perfection and i love it. To me personally the click feels much more superior. Almost as if it was sent down to me from the heaven's itself.
Cons

When you work your pencils are prone to fall from your desk. This time there was no bending it back. One drop and the tip bends.

Highlights
Quality
Second superb quality looks great feels just right in the hand
High quality construction has good hand feel
If you want to be all fancy you can cough up that extra 20 for the rotring 800 and twist the guide to safety
If this is a huge issue for you i would shell out the extra few dollars and purchase the rotring 800 as it has a collapsible tip
Packaging/appearance
Pen arrived in bent but original packaging
Competitiveness
I have had rotring mechanical pencils for maybe 20 years now
7mm for shop use with woodpeckers products
Let’s start off to say i only purchase rotring pens
Unlike the other rotring pencils ive purchased the red ring up by the cap on this model is loose

Be careful not to drop it on the silver stem as it can easily bend and render the pencil unusable

Im not an artist so this is purely coming from someone who is a mechanical engineering student so mostly arithmetic diagrams and basic notes

Be careful with her… it might not be so clear from my photo but the tip is bent

She’s done for after one drop on a hard floor meaning she only lasted me a few months i’m afraid
