RotringTikky Mechanical Pencil, 0.5 mm, Black (1904695)

rOtring stands for quality and this is not exception. Moderately priced but high quality value packed writing in a click. Easy to use and refill too.

I’ve fallen in love with this pen since my childhood, personally love the old version of this more. But the quality is always there. BEWARE when you dropped it though, if you’re unlucky enough to drop it by the tip on a hard floor, the pencil will be totally ruined cause the metal tip will be smashed and bending in makes it impossible for the carbon to come out.

This is a good solid pencil. Aesthetically it's not the most "pleasing to the eye" but from a functionality and comfort standpoint it is a good solid pencil. It has just enough weight to feel solid in your hand and doesn't feel like one of those "cheap, plastic models". At the same time, it is light enough that you aren't overly aware of its weight and presence in your hand. While it does have "grips" on the barrel they are not overly large and you don't get that feeling you're gripping a koozie like you do with most padded pencils. Also, the grips are made of a hard, solid rubber material as opposed to the cheap foam you usually find on gripped pencils. It's put together well, doesn't appear to have any "loose" parts. The only hiccup I have seen with mine is that that the lead advancement will "hang" sometimes when you click the top to advance the lead. By this I mean the top will hang and you have to release it and press again to get a full advancement of the lead. Minor, I can live with that.

I don't like to spend a lot on mechanical pencils as I fear I will lose them, so I am glad Rotring came out with this affordable pencil that is pretty slick. The best thing is the weight of the unit; it just sits in my hand perfectly, and has some substance to it which I like. Think I will get another one, and save my pennies for the one that costs $25 or so...that one I believe is all metal, and will just hope I don't lose it.

I have one of them that worked for me for 22 years. Still, it’s very good, but as you push it down the amount of tip that comes out is not short enough to prevent it from breaking. So, I decided to order a new one. It’s the same color that I had previously. I enjoy writing with it because I use a 2B lead that makes it works smoother.

my elder mom needed to start using darker lead to see....this did the trick

I am a geologist and frequently need a sharp pencil handy to annotate maps, etc. In addition to looking nice, I like the pencil's non-slip grip for my fingers. The reason I have not normally used mechanical pencils in the past is the frustrating tendency for their lead to be constantly breaking when used. I don't know if it is the way this pencil is engineered or because I ordered the thicker 1.0 mm lead, but the lead has not broken once yet. I am now a believer and will be ordering backup pencils soon.

worth it, try it!

el producto esta bien llego muy rapido, pero lo que no me agrado por ser la marca y el producto no tiene estuche, llego en una bolsa transparente, es el unico defecto que le encontre
