Customer Reviews

I bought this pencil and after using it I fell in love with it. It is a very solid and reliable pencil. When I dropped it at work and bent the tip I nearly cried. This pencil is thin, well designed and built, slightly heavy (not so heavy that it makes your hand tired) and very official both looking and feeling. Compared to other mechanical pencils I have purchased, The Rotring line is not a pathetic attempt of a company to make as much money as they can from their products. They may cost a little more then other mechanical pencils, but they are worth it.

I would HIGHLY recommend considering the Rotring 800 (although I do not have one at the moment) because the tip on the 600 is breakable and you don't want to break it without a replacement. I would also recommend a thinner lead like 0.5 or less because the thicker lead doesn't write as clearly as the thinner lead does. I would also recommend if you buy the 600, buy one or two spare tips because if you miss your pocket and drop it tip first... Also, I would recommend buying the lead on JetPens because the lead doesn't smear.

If you want or need a very strongly built mechanical pencil, THIS IS YOUR PENCIL!
