There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
And I can confirm some of the reviews here: it comes with no packaging, just a plastic bag. I was fortunate to receive the pencil without any damage despite the poor packaging.
SYNOPSIS: The Rotring 500 is a very nice mechanical pencil and good for everything/anything that requires a pen.
While when I received this pencil a small part of the grip paint seemed scraped off, that didn't' bother me. (It's bound to happen after heavy usage).
This pencil is sturdy, cool (in temperature), and pretty lightweight.
Some people may not like it because its grip might be considered like a 'cheese-grater' but it's pretty good. So, if your hands sweat a lot then this pencil is good for you since it helps you keep your grip. However, if you have sensitive skin, then it may be a bit irritating and like small punctures.
This pencil is extremely precise and as for the eraser, it may seem small but you can lift the eraser up more and more as needed.
I definitly recommend this product.
The only thing that could be improved upon, in my opinion, is the graphite hardness window's legibility.
Buy this pencil if you're willing to fork over 2x what the Graphgear offers, in price, with future wrist problems. The lead that comes with the pencil is top notch, saving this review from a 2 star review.
When using this 13 dollar pencil, you will hear rattling inside the pencil. For god knows what reason, it rattles. I've removed the lead and yet it continues. I figured its just the built qaulity of the pencil, as other very low grade mechanical pencils are.
The place you grip the pencil is way too far toward the tip. From my experience with pencils similar to this one, it causes you to write smaller and strain your hand more. This also impedes drawing fluid circular shapes. However, going back to the pentel, which is nowhere compred to this price bracket, has a further back pencil grip of the same gritty material.
2 things to improve in this pencil would be to offset the grip higher and increase the weight to the tip.
Keeping the plastic barrel is fine, that should't be an issue. I can imagine the paint will wear off eventually due to the black nature of the pencil and it being on metal. Be weary if you plan on making this your final and only stufy pencil.

Einzig die Lieferung zögerte sich etwas hinaus.
Celui là, si je ne l'avais pas égaré, serait resté avec moi encore très longtemps, parfait selon moi pour le dessin au carnet (@na_coli sur instagram ♥)
La mécanique est toujours aussi fiable, il est léger, beau, agréable... Génial !!!

The weight is just right and the pencil itself is a bit grippier. And it’s a third of the cost of a 600
