Rotring is known for quality mech pencils and eye watering price

[@lazar2175]

It is not that bad considering most drafts need to be done in technical pens, like rapidographs. Now those are around 15 euros a piece and also you need more than three of them atleast plus the ink. Or order a set for 150 euros. I swear, i have more pen thingys than a artist would, and i'm supposed to be a engineer.

[@epistte]

@@lazar2175 I bought my Rotring 600 in .5 in 1990 when they were new. It was a status symbol for engineers. I've worn the paint off of the knurled grip section in 20+ years of constant use. They were $20.00+ in 1990 so the current price is cheaper when adjusted for inflation.

[@inevitablecraftslab]

come on, thats completely not true. this is a pen made for and used for technical drawings, they where never overly expensive. only if you drop, lose or damage your pens every year and rebuy everything it gets expensive. even if they where 100 bucks a piece it wouldnt be expensive if they last a lifetime.

[@jesusjesus2577]

I've got a rotring rehau (couldn't find any picture of it on google), I got it from my mom, it must be 30 years old, still works!

[@R_802]

How do you not lose it? Serious question.

[@aiden4997]

*IMPORTANT!!!!!!* THE 800 HAS A WOBBLY TIP. I found that the tip wobbles around half of a millimeter inside its housing when deployed. Although it seems negligible, it actually makes a giant difference. For a pen that was designed mainly for artists and engineers (and costs more than my dinner), any level of wobble is unacceptable. The writer should not try to compensate for the pencil's wobble of all things when they are immersed in a hobby or creating a detailed drawing. I own a Rapid Pro with a simpler retracting tip mechanism, and it doesn't disturb my writing or drawing because it doesn't wobble at all. LESS IMPORTANT BUT STILL LEFT OUT FROM MANY VIDEOS: The Rapid Pro has a larger grip section than the rest of the pencil's body. That is to take note of, since the 600 and 800 have smaller grip sections compared to their bodies. This small difference in proportion translates to a giant difference in practice, especially for someone who is observant or writes for extended periods of time.

[@IAmNumber4000]

I am OBSESSED. I cannot stop buying these. HELP

[@colinmartin9797]

I've used all the fancy japanese pencils out there, from the zebra delguard (which works amazingly if you have heavy hands and break lead a lot) to the kuru toga, which is amazing for keeping a sharp point on any lead, particularly 4b. But no matter what, I just keep going back to my rotring 600. The mechanisms in the japanese pencils are nicer, but the brass body rotrings (skip the 300 and 500) just feel like goddamn surgical instruments. I just wish the twist eraser wasn't still on patent by pentel. They have the best eraser design in history but the worst pencils on the market. Give me a rotring 600/800 with the kuru toga rotation mechanism and a skinny twist eraser and I'd have a pencil for the rest of my life.

[@pilotreg]

make one yourself !

[@icarus2k]

Don't think that eraser thing is true. I have a Uni and a couple Kokuyo pencils with twist erasers.

[@colinmartin9797]

@@icarus2k huh, maybe the patent wore off or other companies came up with a different mechanism.

@@colinmartin9797 Most likely. As someone who mainly takes math classes but isn't actually good at math, those twist erasers are a blessing.

I got my first Rotring pencil in 6th grade. I believe it was a 600 3.5mm black one. It was my absolute favorite pencil that I owned. I adored taking notes with it. I'm now a sophomore in highschool and just got a Rotring 600 0.5 black mechanical pencil. Genuinely THE best pencil I have ever owned and I wouldn't prefer to use any other mechanical pencil.

[@anon69669]

These are literally the best pencils money can buy. If you’re in college or any professional setting that requires lots of writing and you prefer pencil, go ahead and buy yourself a Rotring 600. For $20 you will have the most enjoyable writing experience for the rest of your life. The 800 is nice but more for show and not as practical (although the retractable tip is nice) as the 600

[@S15Fox]

If you need to do a lot of non-stop writing (or drawing or whatever you use your pencils for) on a daily basis and you use something as heavy as 600 for it, there's a high chance you might be in for arthritis and/or RSI. Heavy brass pencils are best suited for short use sessions that won't strain your hand much. For long sessions, something lighter and with a wide, cushy grip would be a healthier choice.

Secondly, the Chubb feature is the nib protection feature that is present in the Zebra pencil called Dell Guard to protect the lead from broken .The strange thing is that no one ever talked about these amazing features.

all pencils except the 600 are cheap plastic. the pro is metal with plastic threads. also i cant understand why people complain about rotring prices. the 600 is around 20 bucks on amazon, how can 20 bucks for a mechanical pencil be expensive? how many and how often do you buy those, they are built to last a lifetime.

[@S15Fox]

I've used a lot of cheap bargain bin mechanical pencils made of cheap plastic in the past. Compared to them, my 300 feels rock solid, even though it's also a plastic pencil. Plastics are different, and not all of them are brittle crap.

Hi! I am very interested in these drafting pencils. I have looked through information for all of the pencils for a couple months now, made a chart and slowly cut down to which pencil I wanted. Now I am stuck between the rOtring 600 and the rOtring 800. I understand that the only difference is that the 600 doesn't have an option where you can push back the tip , but it has a label. For me personally, I don't need the label because I always use HB led. I also understand that the 800 does have an ability to push back the tip, but it doesn't have a label. Right now I really am convinced on buying the 800, then again I want to start out small...
