Review: Nicely balanced - A really nice propelling pencil that I am using with my organiser. Works well and has a nice balance and weight. Review: A few points about Rotring 600 followed by a comparison with Rotring 800 - I love German Design aesthetic, German Engineering and Rotring pencils. I definitely recommend Rotring (Redring) 600 to everyone. After reading the reviews and watching Rotring design engineers videos; I chose Rotring 600 over Rotring 800 & 800+ The pencil is so solidly built, it makes my hands feel powerful. It produces amazingly neat lines and I would even say it improves my handwriting. The pencil click is seamless, the pencil leads don't break, even with substantial pressure (an issue with 800 & 800+; one of my key reason to choose 600 over 800 & 800+: more in the comparison below) As fellow reviewers have pointed out; the Hexagonal barrel prevents the pencil from rolling off of surfaces easily. As you can judge by now, I am in love with Rotring 600... Comparison of Rotring 600 with Rotring 800 offered by a fellow reviewer on desertcart.com: In general, Rotring essentially offers the best drafting pencils and the Rotring 600 is simply superb. It pains me to have to leave a negative review for Rotring 800. It is simply a poorly designed product that is overpriced. Rotring touts the 800 as their cream of the crop mechanical pencil and it has a nifty twist mechanism, which makes the pencil pocket-friendly by removing the sharp point, which works; however, when you try to write with the pencil you will notice a play in the metal tip, which defeats the purpose of a mechanical drafting pencil: they are supposed to be precise. Having a loose tip defeats the whole purpose of precise writing. The pencil does look quite attractive, however; that is why it gets two stars. It is only good in the pocket not on the paper. For high-quality drafting pencil go for Rotring 600 or even Rotring Rapid Pro, which is also pocket-safe. If you are not worried about the sharp point then buy the legendary Rotring 600. ## Features - Full metal body delivers an ideal balance of weight and feeling - Brass mechanism allows for guided lead advancement - Hexagonal barrel prevents the pencil from sliding so it stays where you need it to - Non-slip metal knurled grip is comfortable for frequent writing and drawing - Lead hardness grade indicator is located on the barrel to identify and adjust lead grades as you work ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0DSJNBT54 | | Age Range Description | All Ages | | Age range (description) | All Ages | | Best Sellers Rank | 854 in Stationery & Office Supplies ( See Top 100 in Stationery & Office Supplies ) 4 in Mechanical Pencils | | Body Shape | Hexagonal | | Brand | rOtring | | Brand Name | rOtring | | Closure Type | Retractable | | Colour | Darkstone | | Country Of Origin | Germany | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 13,677 Reviews | | Drill Point | Chisel | | Global Trade Identification Number | 04895151561953 | | Grip Type | Knurled | | Hardness | HB | | Included Components | Eraser | | Ink Base | Water | | Ink Colour | Black | | Ink colour | Black | | Is the Product Left or Right Handed? | Ambidextrous | | Item Diameter | 0.8 Centimetres | | Item Dimensions | 8 x 142 x 8 millimetres | | Item Weight | 22 Grams | | Line Size | 0.5 Millimeters | | Manufacturer | Newell Brands | | Material | Metal | | Material Type | Metal | | Model Number | SAP_2204409 | | Recommended Uses For Product | Drafting | | Special Features | Lightweight | | Style | Mechanical Pencil | | Unit Count | 1.0 count | | Writing Instrument Form | Mechanical Graphite Pencil | | Writing Technique | pencil lead | | Writing instrument form | Mechanical Graphite Pencil | ## Product Details - **Age range (description):** All Ages - **Brand:** rOtring - **Colour:** Darkstone - **Ink colour:** Black - **Item dimensions L x W x H:** 8 x 142 x 8 millimetres - **Material:** Metal - **Point type:** Chisel - **Special feature:** Lightweight - **Unit count:** 1.0 count - **Writing instrument form:** Mechanical Graphite Pencil ## Images ![– 600 Mechanical Pencil HB Lead0.5 mm All-Metal Body Propelling Pencil Dark Stone Non-Slip Knurled Grip & Hexagonal Barrel - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61gN34A3UBL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color, Size, Style** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nicely balanced *by E***N on 20 September 2026* A really nice propelling pencil that I am using with my organiser.

I’ve used many mechanical pencils over the years, but the rOtring 600 is in a league of its own. The first thing you notice is the weight; it’s heavy and feels incredibly high-quality in the hand. Despite the weight, it fits into the hand nicely and easily, making long writing or sketching sessions comfortable. It glides across the paper with zero friction. I have no faults to mention regarding its performance. The durability is top-notch—this is a professional tool, and that is exactly what you are paying for. My only advice is to wait for a deal, as it is absolutely worth the investment when the price drops. ## Frequently Bought Together - Rotring 600 Mechanical Pencil, 0.7 mm, Silver - rOtring Mechanical Refill Erasers for 600 and 500 Pencils, 5-Pieces (502720) - Rotring 600 Mechanical Pencil 0.5 mm, Blue Full-Metal Pencil Body, Hexagonal Drafting Pencil, Stocking Stuffer, Holiday Gifts for College Students, Christmas Gifts for Teachers --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/700442725-600-mechanical-pencil-hb-lead0-5-mm-all-metal-body](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/700442725-600-mechanical-pencil-hb-lead0-5-mm-all-metal-body) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-09-26*
