rOtring300 Mechanical Pencil | 2.0 mm | Refillable with Sharpener Under Cap | Black | 1Count

This pencil will take 1.8mm and 2mm leads. It also has a lead sharpener built in to the system.Very pleased with it - no longer bother with a standard pencil!

firstly, this is a plastic rotring, so not comparable to the pro series of rotring lead pencils; this is a budget entry offering comparable to the Staedler Mars Technico.I was originally going to buy the Mars Technico however at time of purchase the rotring was cheaper.This pencil has a comfortable grip, and the lead stays in place even with abit of exerted pressure beyond the scope of writing/drawing.If you are expecting the high quality metal body trim that people have come to expect from a rotring pen, you will not get it with this; however those pens are three times the price of this entry level example; this is good value for money.

Bought this as a spare for the identical looking but heavier other model. Its a good pen, no problems there, but I think I prefer the weight of the metal bodied unit.

Very Good Quality

I purchased this some time ago for a night class I was taking, I bought spare lead refills for about 12 pounds in total and for that I've got a solid pencil with good weight to it, with a neat little sharper at the top that lasts forever must of used it for nearly a year and haven't had to replace the lead it came with yet. This pencil will last me a long time like years of use.

Excellent pencil. Feels very nice in the hand. Only issues, as others mention, is that the little device for indicated what lead is in the pencil moves around too easily.

When working as a PA in an architect's practice, I noticed that only Rotring pens and pencils were used for their work. Having one of my own now I can perfectly understand the reason. This is an excellent pencil, a good weight to hold and with which to sketch/write.

Bought this out if curiosity. Didn't really know what a clutch pencil was but now I do and probably wont be buying another one.I like the 2mm lead it's strong and mark's clearly but the feed mechanism is flawed. For my purposes. I like mechanical pencils and the click to feed utility but a clutch pencil releases the lead completely meaning that when you want more lead you have to drop what you are doing, use your finger as a stop, release the lead, fiddle around with the length you want then close the clutch.It's a fiddly, awkward system that artists and graphic designers may like or need but for the rest of us, not good. One really good feature is the sharpener in the cap.
