Rapid Pro Mechanical Pencil, 0.7mm, Black

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.

Upon grasping the pencil in my hand, I was pleasantly surprised by the weight which, in my opinion, feels just right. It has a good balance to it. I almost cannot tell if it is bottom-heavy or top-heavy. The knurling on the grip is neither too fine nor too coarse for my taste. It is grippy enough without feeling like a file against your fingers. Although, if you are prone to having sweaty palms(or feel that the knurling is not coarse enough for you), you might like the knurling on the rOtring 600 which has the only downside of having a non-retractable tip that renders it less pocket-friendly and more prone to breakage on the sleeve when dropped. The lead advance is quite granular i.e., 10 clicks of the push button gives you about 0.6 cm of lead on an average which, in my opinion, is perfect. The clicking mechanism is satisfactorily sure-sounding. All in all, considering that the Rapid Pro has a retractable tip and is an all metal construction (inner working components being brass, if I am not mistaken), this is a great mechanical pencil for everyday use. Also, the pencil looks stately in the matte-black colour.

I have been using this pencil for over two years now, it looks great, feels great, writes great. It is a bit on the heavier side but will not offset you, so do not let the weight dissuade you. Read no further go for it and you will not regert buying it.

A fine drawing instrument. There could be many brands that manufacture mechanical drafting pencils that look similar to the Rotring mechanical pencils, believe me, I have them too. But on the first touch, you can tell why Rotring has such a reputation.

It's amazing. But at the same time expensive.

We cannot compare this with the other products. Very good grip and finish. Only thing is high pricing.

Ive been searching for a pencil that I can use and flaunt at the same time. This is it. It has a sharper at the tip. Very sturdy. Very Comfortable to write with.

A mesmerising writer . Very happy indeed.

En mycket skön kvalitetspenna med härligt grepp!

Öncelikle, kalemi almadan önce Rotring in her türlü modelini fiyatları göz önünde bulundurarak araştırdım, karşılaştırdım. 800/800+ modelleri gereksiz pahalıydı ayrıca mekaniğinde kronik sorunlar olabiliyormuş. Rotring 500 ün ise fiyatı gerçekten çok avantajlıydı fakat benim gibi kalem hastaları kalemi eline alınca kaliteyi, ağırlığı hissetmeli, diye düşündüm. Rotring in Tikky vs modellerine değinmiyorum. Geriye kaldı iki model: Rotring Rapid PRO ve Rotring 600. Ama ben Rapid PRO yu satın aldım. Çünkü, 1. 600 ün uç iğnesi içe gizlenemezken Rapid PRO da gizlenebiliyor. Uç iğnesinin içe girmemesinin çizim için avantajları falan olsa da ben kalemi daha çok günlük kullanım ve yazma için aldığımdan dolayı ucunun kolayca yamulup zarar görmemesi için Rapid PRO yu tercih ettim. 2. 600 ün boyası Rapid PRO ya göre daha erken atma yapacağından (ben kalemin görüntüsüne çok önem veren biriyim) Rapid PRO yu tercih ettim. * Rotring 600, Rotring Rapid PRO dan daha önce piyasaya sürülüp Rotring 800 ün hemen alt modeli olmasıdan dolayı Rapid PRO ya göre daha çok abartılıp ön plana çıkıyor. Ülkemiz piyasasında ikisinin de fiyatları birbirine yakın. Öyle ki yurt dışında fiyatlar Rotring 600 20$ bandındayken Rapid PRO ''30$'' bandında. Rotring 600 ün fiyatına, az önce yazdığım nedenlerden ötürü daha popüler olup çok satmasından dolayı daha çok vergi ücreti + daha çok kar payı biniyor. Böylece ülkemizde satıldığı fiyatlar neredeyse eşitlenmiş oluyor. Yani aslında Rotring Rapid PRO, Rotring 600 e göre daha iyi bir kalem diyebilirim. Rapid PRO nun kendisini değerlendirirsem gerçekten o kalite ve hissi anlatamam. Çok iyi, harika, mükemmel bir kalem. Kalemi almadan yorumlarını çok okudum. Genelde kalemin üst silgi kapağının kolay çıktığını ve kalemin tutma yerinin eli acıttığını yazmışlar. Ben kalemi kullanıyorum, çok rahatsızlık vermiyor (her halde alışığım). Kapağı ise benim kalemimde öyle kolay çıkmıyor; bana öyle iyi mi denk geldi yoksa o sorun genel olarak giderilmiş mi, bilemiyorum. Ayrıca inşallah boyası atmadan böyle kusursuz kalır:) Herkese kesinlikle tavsiye ederim...

I’m an engineer by trade, but am currently taking business courses. I find myself using a pencil a lot especially when making calculations. I own a couple of Mont Blanc pens, and wanted something a step above a normal mechanical pencil to use on a daily basis. I liked the price point of the Rapid Pro and after using it for a couple of days I have to say that I’m very happy with it. I considered the Rotring 600 (but wanted a retractable tip which the 600 doesn’t have) or the Rotring 800 (which has a retractable tip, but is more expensive and has some negative reviews about its retract mechanism). Overall the Rotring Rapid Pro is probably the best mechanical pencil I’ve ever used. Love the fine knurling and the feel of it. A few small cons 1. Red ring is plastic, I wish the red section was metal 2. I would have preferred if the cushioning behind the lead protection mechanism was a bit stiffer. 3. No lead type indication (not a problem for me, Since I basically always use standard HB lead, but it could be a problem for others). Some reviews said that the Rapid Pro was too heavy, I think it’s weight is perfect. I also read that the eraser cap could be loose, mine is secure. Awesome mechanical pencil and exactly what I hoped it would be.

I have a LOT of mechanical pencils and lead holders of various brands and sizes, and this is one of my favorite brands. Yes, they are expensive, but they make nice pencils. this lead holder has a very nice, heavy feel, works smoothly, and it a joy to use. I will say that if you are used to a clutch pencil, this may not be what you expect - this lead holder advances the lead incrementally, like any click-advance mechanical pencil of a smaller lead size. If you want an open feed so the lead can be fed out in large lengths quickly this will not be the best choice. That said, I don't find the slower advance a problem, even when sharpening. To point the lead, you can do one of two things: advance the lead by clicking a number of times, point the lead, then hold the advance down while slipping the lead back into the barrel to the desired length, or you can hold the advance in while slipping the lead out of the barrel, point it, and then slip it back in. If you try to point the lead using a pointer without advancing the lead a few inches it won't point - the lead won't be able to reach the blade or cutter threads. For me, this is no problem - I'm very happy to trade the open clutch for a much nicer tool to draw with. There is a pointer in the cap as well, which does not require as much lead length as a 'trash can' style pointer and I find it works quite well. There is a small plastic insert in the cap that prevents the 'lead' shavings from going into the barrel body, so be sure to gently tap out the shavings after pointing or you may have fine dust occasionally falling from the cap. The convenience of having a pointer built-in like that is quite nice if you travel or work in the field. Pros: Solid construction, good hand feel, sturdy clip, built-in pointer, controllable advance, appearance. Cons: Cost (this costs a lot more than many of the plastic-body alternatives)

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.
