@@ChrisWhoLikesGrapes 600 by far is their best model all other models have some very bad flaws. I would never recommend anyone get anything besides the 600
*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.
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.
@@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.
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.
I used a rotring for 20 years of my life, took me through all my education, from elementary to Phd... ... It was a Rotring which my Mother used for all her studies, passed down to me. I think it was with it.
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.
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.
Did you know that there is a mechanical pencil from Rotring Company called Rapid Pro 0.5? It has 2 legendary characteristics, which were She was ahead of her time. 1_ Auto Extendding Lead 2- guard lead from broken like dul guard at zebra pencil The nib comes out mechanically, or the pen lengthens the nib without pressing the pen from the back - just pressing the pen while writing, the nib comes out automatically.

Man, I remember watching this and being so envious. Now I've got a Rapid Pro, and 3 rOtring 600s. (2 in 0.5, one's sliver and the other black, and another silver in 0.7)
Is it worth buying rotring rapid pro in comparison to 600?what about build quality of the pen?any issues problems while using the pen?is this fully metal or some plastic inside the pen?
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
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.
Somebody explain to me why they don't make the tip of these high-end pencils using titanium. The whole thing becomes garbage when the barrel is bent inwards from a simple fall onto the concrete and the lead begins coming out damaged.
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.

rotring 600 is my favorite pencil, period. Last year I bought a rotring 500, 600, pentel smash, graphgear 500, kerry sharp, staedtler 925 05, tombow monograph, zebra delguard, dr. grip, kuru toga advanced, pipe slide, and roulette about a year ago. I happened to pick the rotring 600 to write with first, and all the other pencils have gone untouched
Rotring 800 and rapid PRO is the best! Because 300, 500, 600 is not include sleeve protection. Rotring's sleeve is quite weak. Furthermore, rotring mechanical pencils are quite heavy. So, if you drop accidently, sleeve is damaged frequently... :(
I don’t have a rotring but what weirded me out for a second was what all the design choices of drafting pencils were for. For like 3 years I’ve been using a .3 mm pentel graftgear 500 and I never really paid much attention to it. Don’t even really remember why I bought it haha. But now that I look at it a lot of design choices in it had meaning and not just to look neat. I guess you learn something new everyday, huh
if rotring were to release the 1000 ver. with the lead indicator and tip retractor, that would be the best pencil period, even better with kuru toga's mechanism it would be the apex of pencils
I prefer the 500. Best mechanical pencil ever. I slightly shave down the edges of the plastic barrel with an exact-o knife to make it even more comfortable.
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...
im thinking of buying the tip for rotring 600 in black color but the fedex cost is even higher than the complete pencil. any solutions for indonesian customers ? thanks
I absolutely love these drafting pencils. I had one until someone decided to steal it from my drafting desk:( Though they are expensive they are worth the money. They are beautifully balanced in weight and have great precision.

+kamio kabegami That's a hard choice! If you like a more rugged look, choose black. If you like a more industrial look, choose silver. But you can't go wrong with either. ;)
Thanks a lot!I might buy black one.But I'll chose it later because I can't find Rapid Pro yet.
How would be the led replacement for these? Same way as a regular mech pencils?
Yes, you take the eraser cap and eraser out and stick the lead in.
I love my 600. but an 800 would be cool. the lead sleeve got bent the 3rd day i had it, and it took me almost 2 months too bend it back
Daniel Eastman I bent mine as well but I've found that a BIC pen cap fits perfectly on it
cccstudios521 thanks for the "tip"
Daniel Eastman boii
Is the Rotring 800 good for writing (in school)? I constantly break mechanical pencils, and I loved my Rotring tikky, but unfortunately it broke in my packpack.
Yes, it's good for writing in school -- you might also want to check out the Kuru Toga Roulette: www.jetpens.com/Uni-Kuru-Toga-Roulette-Mechanical-Pencils/ct/1129
I like rotring 800 the most with silver
I was. The 700th likes and it's my birthday. That day is special.
Happy birthday!!
Noice
Happy late birthday
I have a question i have the 600 and I was wondering were I can buy the replaceable tip
+ToPo #1 We have the replacement tips here: www.jetpens.com/Rotring-600-Drafting-Pencils/ct/1109
+JetPens PenPal thanks
It would be nice if there's a rotring 600 clutch type 2mm lead holder
what happened to the 700 series?
Matthew Heal it’s a mechanical pencil/fountain pen, not a drafting pencil
Where can I find replacement tips and erasers for my rOtring 600?
You can find erasers here: www.jetpens.com/Rotring-Drafting-Pencil-Eraser-Refill-500-or-600-Pack-of-5/pd/6769 and tips here: www.jetpens.com/search?q=prefix%3A600+AND+prefix%3Areplacement&v=1

+PhantomDrawing Thank you for the suggestion! We'll put it on our list of ideas.
My favorite rotrıng 800+
Love the silver rapid PRO
Thanks a lot this video was very helpful
Hi! Was wondering if you could do a video about the GraphGear 1000 and/or 500- my two favorites. Also, what is the song in this video?! Love pieces like this.
+Ryan Stone Thank you for the suggestion! We'll put it on our list of ideas. The song is from audio jungle.
Am I only able to replace the tips for the rotring 600 only?
Yes, we only carry the replacement tips for the Rotring 600.
Does silver 600 have a matte texture like how the black looks?
hung chau Hi there! It does have a matte finish compared with other silver pens, but is more reflective than the black due to its color. Hope this helps!
are there other color of leads like red or blue that can be used with these pencils?
+Jairo Ayala Yes, as long as the tip size matches, you can use any lead with the pencils. :)
+JetPens PenPal Thank you for the reply. I was looking around for reviews on leads for these kinda mechanical pencils and I cant find any decent ones. Would you consider reviewing leads?
+Jairo Ayala Thank you for your suggestion! We'll forward your request to our content team. :)
One minute it's "Rot Ring", the next it's "Row Tring"........make up your mind! 😆
i have the 600 in black but my friend lost the tip where the rubber is do u guys have any replacements

If you can check with your friend and they can provide an order number we'd be happy to assist!
How is the best ?
no mention of the 2mm lead holders?
Weird question. What is the best lead (company/brand/thickness) for the rotring 600?
+curly0117 There's not one specific lead that's ideal for the Rotring 600--we have a variety of leads that work well with it! Some popular lines include the Pentel Ain, Uni NanoDia, and the Pilot Neox. www.jetpens.com/Pentel-Ain-Lead/ct/2584 www.jetpens.com/Uni-NanoDia-Lead/ct/2608 www.jetpens.com/Pilot-Neox-Graphite-Lead/ct/2635
+curly0117 The most popular among all, is the Koweco 5B Graphite Leads 2.0 (mm) it is rather premium though but it is very nice, It is Japanese or something but its worth the price.
+Gabriel Johnson Kaweco is actually a German brand!
+JetPens PenPal oh by the way I'm planning on buying a mechanical pencil from your site but i can't seem to find one that suits me Its going to be for high school and i was wondering which one would be the best or any recommendations thx!
+Gabriel Johnson Have you seen our Guide to Mechanical Pencils? www.jetpens.com/blog/guide-to-mechanical-pencils/pt/809 The Kokuyo FitCurve is a personal favorite! www.jetpens.com/Kokuyo-FitCurve-Mechanical-Pencils/ct/887
Do I find it an upgraded and stronger version of a mechanic pencil?
Yes!
What makes these pencils so special beside the small tip and metal body? Like is it worth the price?
did u even watch the video mane
