## Overview

The Rotring 600 Mechanical Pencil features a precise 0.5mm fixed lead sleeve and a rugged all-metal body with a knurled grip for superior control. Its hexagonal barrel prevents rolling, while the built-in lead grade indicator and hidden eraser add smart convenience. Designed for professionals in drafting, engineering, and architecture, this refillable pencil delivers long-lasting performance and fatigue-free writing.

## Description

The rOtring 600 is a sleek, metal mechanical pencil built with precision and convenience in mind. Designed with the rOtring brass mechanism for precision lead advancement, and a fixed lead guidance sleeve to prevent break and offer an unimpeded view of the page for precise ruler—based drawing. The hexagonal barrel ensures fatigue-free writing and drawing, and prevents the pencil from sliding when laid on surfaces. The non-slip metal knurled grip makes sure that the pencil remains safely in hand so there are no accidental slips. There is a built in erase under the push-button cap for quick erasing, to ensure mistakes aren’t permanent.

Review: This pencil is not mid. - Excellent mechanical pencil. It's heavy and feels substantial in hand, which I find helps with writing / note taking. Be careful of drops, since that weight could be a disadvantage if dropped directly on the point. I have others - Pentels (several models), and Uni Togas and those are fine - but they are very light in comparison to this model. This one lets me write longer with less fatigue - in short it makes the writing more enjoyable. Well worth the price to me. The leads are quality too - though I will probably refill with Pentel Ain .5 2B. Cons - well, dropping it could be a problem. The leads are held in by the eraser, which is pretty common. A little pricey for a pencil so if you tend to lose them, maybe consider that.
Review: Precision Perfection - This is absolutely the best mechanical pencil I have ever written with. I have many, many, mechanical pencils, as this is a hobby of mine. This is my favorite to use in most situations. The barrel is made of high quality, enameled brass, and is a high quality, professional grade instrument. PROs: - Superior quality. It is so pleasurable to write with. It feels amazing in-hand. - Precision and line co trol are unmatched, with longer lead sleeve and fantastic, knurled grip. - The click action is rock-solid with no play or slip. Perfection. CONS: - The lead sleeve is NOT retractable, and would bend/snap if dropped on its tip. Not likely repairable. - This lack of a retracting point and subsequent risk of breakage if dropped makes it less ideal for every day/pocket carry. I tend to leave it at my desk. OVERALL: I love this pencil and would buy another one if this one were lost or broken. It's just that good. Drop the $20, buy some 2B or 3B leads and never look back.

*by A***Y on December 6, 2025*

Amazing pencil. It’s a true pleasure using it. I have another one in .35 which I’ve had for over 10 years, that looks and works as new (cleaned it one time as I had the lead stuck in the barrel) rotring makes some high quality long lasting and beautiful writing instruments.
