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

It breaks easily. Tried contacting rotring twice about getting a replacement tip if available, and got no response. Amazon says, “limited guaranteed for 2 years from original purchase date against defects in materials or workmanship”, but i can't seem...  Read More

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.

The design of this pencil is terrible, which revolves around the eraser. The eraser is not retractable so once you use the ~1/4 inch of the initially exposed part, you have to discard the whole thing.

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

    Was able to bend it back but a bit wonky now

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


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

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

    Be careful with this one… would make a great gift for an artist
