## Description

From the manufacturer

Review: Superb material and Quality. Excellent purchase - Splendid purchase. The weight is balanced for a product that is all metal bodied. The knurled grip just makes the difference because there's no slipping or sliding down the body as one continues to write. The look is very smooth and sexy for a pencil. It does not roll away when laid down. The quality of the entire product is phenomenal. The size of the body is perfect as I have tried quite a few other metal bodied metallic mechanical pencils before taking the leap to purchase this. My old rotring tikky pencil is still intact after 9 years of constant use but because the grip is melting I decided on this models grip design and as mentioned before fantastic knurled grip and support area. It looks so sharp, slick and sexy that I am very happy with my purchase. As I have only got it today, I might review this review in a few years time or sooner if things go awry but don't expect to see me anytime soon if my last rotring is anything to go by. Definitely recommend this product.
Review: 3 Years later - Exceptional experience with rOtring Rapid Pro Mechanical Pencil - After 3 years of us, I'm delighted to say that my experience with the rOtring Rapid Pro Mechanical Pencil has been nothing short of exceptional. From the moment I started using it, I could feel the quality and precision that rOtring is renowned for. The pencil's solid metal construction exudes durability and a professional feel. The weight is just right, providing a comfortable grip without being too heavy. The only negative is that I sometimes break the lead as I am heavy handed, but this has been my experience with every pencil I have ever used. If you're in search of a reliable, high-performance mechanical pencil, this one is definitely worth the investment. Highly recommended!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Where is it made? Germany, France, China.**
A: Japan apparently, either way, i got the black version and its very good quality, been using it for about 3 months and dont have any gripes

**Q: how much bigger is the grip compared to the 600, which i find to thin? thanks**
A: I would say it's about a millimeter wider, a couple or 3mm longer and slightly smoother. The whole pencil is considerably heavier too; weighted towards the top end. It's a great pencil but I prefer the 600 for drawing. Hope this helps.

**Q: What is the weight of this pencil? Is it heavier than the other version?**
A: I am not sure what is meant by them other version’ as there are several similar types of Rotring mechanical pencil. If compared with the Rapid Pro 0.7 or 0.5, the 2mm is very slightly heavier. If compared with the Rotring 800 with a 0.7 lead, the Raid Pro 2.0 mm is a little lighter. I hope that helps. They are all wonderful pencils.

**Q: what metal or alloy is this pencil made of?**
A: I think the inner workings are made principally of brass but the outer casing seems to be of aluminium.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The best mechanical pencil Rotring has to offer.
*by M***R on 7 May 2015*

Simply put, this is the best mechanical pencil that Rotring make. I have both 'Rotring 600' and '800'. They certainly have their strengths; in many ways the former is superior to the latter despite costing half as much. However, the 'Rapid Pro' is a masterful synthesis of their best parts while adding several of its own. The lead sleeve is retractable. The construction is all but 100% metal. It has a very pleasing weight, solidity and balance. The grip is simply amazing, holding your fingers like sandpaper but not filing away your skin. However, what makes the 'Rapid Pro' truly stand out in my opinion is the 'cushion tip'. This was a feature that seemed to have been lost from the field of mechanical pencils for a long time, indeed since the demise of the 'Scripto' range and specifically their 'Cassette Pencil P1150C'. In the current day I have only found it present in the 'Faber-Castel Vario Fine' and the 'Rapid Pro'. However the excellent features of the first are totally sabotaged by such a terrible grip section it makes the entire pencil next to useless. In contrast the 'Rapid Pro' takes this feature and combines it with the best parts of the whole Rotring range to give a perfect whole. In summary; unless you are a collector striving for completion or so rich you can afford to waste your money ignore the '600' and '800'. Instead buy the 'Rapid Pro' which carries all of their strengths and none of their weaknesses.
