Review: The tip wobble really isn't that bad - No doubt if you are looking into a 45 quid pencil you'll be doing your research. And some of that will lead you to a lot of people saying that the retractable Rotring has a slight tip wobble (because it's moving parts). I've been using this daily for over a year now and it's still going strong. I'm a massive fidgetter so I'm constantly popping the nib in and out and taking the rubber protector on and off and it's still not gotten to a point where it's worn or damaged. This is my favourite pencil. It weighs a really nice amount for me and feels like a good bit of kit. The improvements I think it could do with are minor. The first is the little tab thing that you slide it onto shirt pockets and what not. I think this should not be painted. This area is the one that gets the most wear and naturally the paint chips. It'd made more sense to plain finish it. The second is the availability of the rubbers. The rubbers last ages but they are a little difficult to pickup, in the end I opted to go for the ones direct from their site because they are a special size and didn't want to get the wrong ones. Besides that though I really like the pencil. I'd definitely recommend it if you are looking to upgrade to a something proper.
Review: Worth the price 100% - I’ve had this pencil as my EDC along with my fountain pen and ball point for over 6 months and it has been a phenomenal writing instrument for me. It is compact with a great mechanism that provides not only satisfaction if you’re a fidgeter like me but also great function by hiding away the lead sleeve when not in use so that it doesn’t damage the point. It is a very easy carry in the pocket or in any pen case you could think of. The pencil oozes class and quality. I wanted a pencil that would serve me for many years and I’m confident it will do just that! Highly recommend this pencil for anybody who needs a pencil on the go or in the studio or office environment or just about anywhere else!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this come with any leads?**
A: It came with a couple of leads, but I purchased another pack just in case. If it's been bounced around a bit in transit the leads may be broken Although saying that, my pen was really well packaged with plenty of padding. I know if I drop any of my mechanical pencils, the leads can break.

**Q: The twist mechanism barrel can be very slightly be pushed down. Is this meant to happen?**
A: I think that if there wasn't a slight amount of play (on mine, it's a lot less than a millimetre) then the twist mechanism would grind a bit when  it's twisted.

**Q: does this item also work as a stylus?**
A: the stylus version of this pencil is the 800+

**Q: Are these the newer ones made in Japan ?**
A: I have a bunch of Japanese rotring pencils, and think they are better than the German ones.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Most beautiful and well designed tool on my desk.
*by H***L on 18 August 2016*

Without doubt, the best mechanical pencil I have ever bought. In fact I would go as far as to say it is the best writing tool I have ever purchased. The build quality is flawless. Solid metallic components everywhere. Really solid mechanism for revealing and retracting the tip. Loading can be a little fiddly and frustrating but this has been the case for every mechanical pencil I have ever had. I previously had one of these but the tip was bent by someone whilst I was away from my desk. Either that or the product failed. Replacement works just as well. Recommend the 0.7 over the 0.5 as 0.5mm Lead is very fragile and I found it breaks frequently. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
