Pros & Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Only issue is that if you have a money bump as some artists like to refer to it as, the texture on the grip can agitate it a little bit. The only thing i have against it is the fact that tip doesn't retract in.

The barrel doesn't feel like those cheap bic mechanical pencils. The rotting 600 is better quality but i use the 600 for drafting and the 500 for writing.

Cons

The lead no longer feeds through the pen. It's more like a drafting pencil, meant to sit at the drafting board at all times. No packaging from the manufacturer and absolute overkill shipping packaging from fba.
