Rapid Pro Mechanical Pencil | HB 0.5 mm Lead Propelling Pencil | Reduced Lead Breakage | Matte Black Full-Metal Barrel

Splendid purchase. The weight is balanced for a product that is all metal bodied. The knurled grip just makes the difference because there's no slipping or sliding down the body as one continues to write. The look is very smooth and sexy for a pencil. It does not roll away when laid down. The quality of the entire product is phenomenal. The size of the body is perfect as I have tried quite a few other metal bodied metallic mechanical pencils before taking the leap to purchase this. My old rotring tikky pencil is still intact after 9 years of constant use but because the grip is melting I decided on this models grip design and as mentioned before fantastic knurled grip and support area. It looks so sharp, slick and sexy that I am very happy with my purchase. As I have only got it today, I might review this review in a few years time or sooner if things go awry but don't expect to see me anytime soon if my last rotring is anything to go by. Definitely recommend this product.

Great, very reliable, feels nice, precise and quite bulletproof. Nice weighty and solid feel but may be a bit slim for big fingers.

I really like using it, very good construction, quite heavy. Also use it for wood working, would buy again. Very happy

After 3 years of us, I'm delighted to say that my experience with the rOtring Rapid Pro Mechanical Pencil has been nothing short of exceptional. From the moment I started using it, I could feel the quality and precision that rOtring is renowned for. The pencil's solid metal construction exudes durability and a professional feel. The weight is just right, providing a comfortable grip without being too heavy. The only negative is that I sometimes break the lead as I am heavy handed, but this has been my experience with every pencil I have ever used. If you're in search of a reliable, high-performance mechanical pencil, this one is definitely worth the investment. Highly recommended!

Take your time to get used to it cause it's a nice choice. It feels a little big and heave compared to others (I have 7 mechy pencils) but I still reach for this as much as any of the others. Going for silver breaks up the black and grey if the others I have.

I bought this for myself as a treat after already buying the equivalent in 0.7. I first used Rotring when I was in my first job as a graphic designer for a printing company in the late 80s. They are a premium price but well worth it. I prefer to use these than a normal pencil as it gives me more control when drawing. It’s very easy to fill / replace then graphite. I also bought 4b in addition to additional HB. The cap can be used to sharpen the pencil to a very fine point.

Very nice pen to use every day. Good weight, and comfortable to use.

Disappointed with the pencil. It feels well crafted and has a nice weight to it but there is too much play in the thread which results in the top part being able to move slightly when writing, so it actually ends up feeling pretty flimsy despite the weight. Disappointed as I thought this was going to be worth the money I spent but I wouldn't recommend

En mycket skön kvalitetspenna med härligt grepp!

Rotring is probably my favourite lead holder brand and this latest clutch is a welcomed addition to my growing collection. Nice weight, sturdy and I love the action for lead advancement. I use it mainly for sketching/drawing with some note taking on the side.

I have used lots of pentel and staedler pencils before but ROTRING RAPID PRO/ROTRING 600 IS THE BEST and this statement is gonna remain universal untill the end of time. [ Proud to exaggerate ] ------------------------------------------------------------ FINAL VERDICT ✅The best mechanical pencil (tried pentel, lamy, staedtler and many others). ✅SUPER STURDY and you can pass this one to next generation after your last breath. ✅Very expensive but considering it will last lifetime i would rate 4/5 in VALUE FOR MONEY. 🙏🙏Please press the helpful button if so and follow my Amazon profile🙏🙏 ------------------------------------------------------------ DESIGN AND BUILD 👍Although the Rotring brand is now owned by some japanese brand still the german aesthetics are no less in this ALL BRASS METAL SUPER STURDY BUILD. 👍The metal KNURLING is THE BEST on the market.🥰 👍The retractable lead sleeve is awesome⭐ 👍Very satisfying click and about 10 clicks come out 6mm of lead. 👍The Hexagonal brass body is very comfortable to hold. 👍Very sturdy pocket clip. 👍Matt black colour is dope and utilitarian (more classy than silver version and three colour is durable too, it won't go out in long time. ------------------------------------------------------------ WRITING PERFORMANCE 👍👍A+++ the heavy nature of the pen helps in enhancing writing experience since you don't need to press the lead much harder since the pencil itself is sharing the job with its own weight. IT WILL MAKE YOU QUIT YOUR PARKER PEN AND ADOPT THE PENCIL WAY OF WRITING. ☺ ------------------------------------------------------------ CONS The single con of this pencil is the screws joint behind the red ring (refer my attached images) that is made of plastic, metal would have been nice but considering you don't need to unscrew it very often it would still go strong for lifetime.

The weight and feel of this pencil are perfect, making it an essential part of my design work. I mainly use it for note-taking and sketches and I buy the .7mm because it is less apt to snapping the lead. I WISH they made this pencil in .9mm for my red lead (red is even more fragile). I had a bonding moment with a client recently who pulled out a leather case with several Rotrings, in a variety of lead weights and we geeked out for a few minutes over how much we love these mechanical pencils.
