    Customers like the sturdiness of the writing instrument. They say it's solidly built, the metal tip is very durable, and the protective eraser sleeve is solid.

Some mention that the pencil has no flaws when they got it and the clip is firm.

    "...It also requires less force to write with, so you can use it for longer without fatigue...." Read more

    "...a bit of heft to it, but the changing hardnesses at the end, the ergonomic feel..." Read more

    "...$60, but believe me even at that price I'd say this pencil is absolutely worth it!..." Read more

    "...Well worth the buy" Read more

    198 customers mention27 positive171 negative

    Customers are dissatisfied with the durability of the writing instrument. They mention that the tip will bend if they drop it, and the metal point holding the lead tip is delicate. The tip is very thin and has nothing to protect it.

    "...The other potential issue I found is that the tip of the pencil is a hollow tube. When you click the top, lead comes out of the thin tube...." Read more

    "...Somehow, that little sleeve got bent slightly. It wasn't enough for me to notice at first, but the lead would keep breaking...." Read more

    "...for drafting or drawing sacred geo, but be careful as the tip can bend if dropped." Read more

    "...What I don't like however, is how easily the tip bends. Just don't drop it is all." Read more

    Decades of proven quality!
    Back in the 1970ies I did my studies on engineering at the Swiss Federal Railroads! rOtring always was as a set in my pockets! I’m glad, having it again with me! Don’t know any better!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Me quedo a deber algo de calidad
    Reviewed in Mexico on June 26, 2023
    Rotring 600 Color aluminio es una pieza muy vistosa para usar ademas que desde mi punto de vista es muy bonita, este en mi 3ro que adquiero de la marca y me decepciono un poco, ya que los otros 2 que tengo el Azul y el Rosa la calidad de terminados es perfecto, este color aluminio natural no quede muy satisfecho con la calidad, los detalles que encontré fueron:
    En la textura del agarre que se ve a contra luz con algunas imperfecciones

    El clip esta mal doblado y el grabado de la marca pareciera que la plancha que usaron estaba muy deteriorada
    Otra cosa en la parte hexagonal una de las aristas se siente algo rugosa.
    Tal vez sean detalles que otra persona no detectaría, pero por el precio que pague, creo que me dejaron a deber, porque comparación con el Azul es simplemente perfecto, por eso me anime a comprar la plata.
    En cuanto a usabilidad el producto es pesado, muy pesado a mi parecer, para hacer algunas anotaciones para el trabajo, no le veo problema. Pero si eres estudiante o dibujante que pasas horas usando un lápiz mecánico, creo que hay otras mejores opciones de Pentel como el Graph 1000 For PRO para esas largas jornadas.
    Realmente si te gusta coleccionar lápices mecánicos. Definitivamente estas piezas no pueden faltar en la colección.
    Para cerrar, trae el indicador de dureza de la mina y un borrador algo pequeño que es de la misma media que los Pentel, asi que será sencillo y barato el repuesto del borrador.
