Review: Let me explain... or sum up - I purchased this mechanical pencil after reading up on it, it's generally loose cap (which I fixed immediately upon receiving by squeezing the cap slightly near the bottom), and overall solid build. I also checked out all of the models up and down of this to make sure I was getting what I wanted. And it was. It has a very solid build overall. That said after a few hours of notes, sketching something, or actually getting into gritty detail for a drawing... that solid build can dig into the fingers. But after hours upon hours of classwork, I know this happens regardless of the pen in question. I do enjoy the metal grip, as I have rather clammy hands usually and anything less usually slips out of my grip leaving me annoyed and distracted from the task at hand while I adjust--yet again. After owning this thing for a few months, dropping it at least 5 solid times or so, it's still doing splendidly. The only wear it has from our journey is where the metal cap landed at an angle on a stone floor from a chest height, and it now has a ding. It should also be noted that I've had to McGuyver a few erasers to fit it from other erasers (generally just shaving off a bit of the other eraser so it fits)... I still prefer it to everything else. And if that was to long... let me sum up: Solid build, good metal grip, has character after several drops, but still works exactly as intended. Review: Amazing Pencil - This pencil is my favorite. Although I go back and forth between the 600 and Rapid Pro, I really enjoy the fact that I can retract the tip. The 600 feels a lot more solid though. It does not jiggle at all. There are times where the insides of the Rapid Pro move ever so slightly but the 600 is just so solid it doesn't budge even a bit. Both are 5 stars to me though. I initially lost my first Rapid Pro and was so bummed I got a replacnet right away. ## Features - Full-metal black body providing ideal balance of weight - Non-slip metal knurled grip - Sliding sleeve and cushion lead mechanism for high level of break resistance and comfort - Clip at top - Eraser under push-button cap ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00K73535C | | Best Sellers Rank | #383,550 in Office Products ( See Top 100 in Office Products ) #2,169 in Mechanical Pencils | | Brand | Rotring | | Closure | Retractable | | Color | black | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (687) | | Date First Available | June 12, 2007 | | Grip Type | non-slip | | Ink Color | Black | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item Weight | 0.847 ounces | | Item model number | 1904258 | | Line Size | 0.5 Millimeters | | Manufacturer | Rotring | | Manufacturer Part Number | 1904258 | | Material Type | Metal | | Number of Items | 1 | | Pencil Lead Degree (Hardness) | HB | | Point Type | Ball | | Product Dimensions | 9 x 5 x 2 inches | | Size | 1 Count (Pack of 1) | | Tip Type | metal | ## Product Details - **Age Range (Description):** Adult - **Brand:** Rotring - **Color:** black - **Ink Color:** Black - **Writing Instrument Form:** Mechanical Graphite Pencil ## Images ![Rapid Pro Mechanical Pencil, 0.5mm, Black - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51xRE7X887L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color, Size, Style** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Let me explain... or sum up *by S***K on March 6, 2016* I purchased this mechanical pencil after reading up on it, it's generally loose cap (which I fixed immediately upon receiving by squeezing the cap slightly near the bottom), and overall solid build.
