Rotring Mechanical Pencil Tikky, Black, 0.5mm (S0770550)

I’ve used sooooo many of theseThey’re absolutely amazing, perfectly sturdy but come with a few flaws1. The rubber grips wears off with use ( the only reason I’ve gone through 7 of these)2. The inner part is made of plastic and breaks VERY easily3. The extended tip for protection of the lead bends when you accidentally drop the pencil and it cannot be fixedSo overall it’s a great pencil and needs to be used carefully and even if you don’t drop it the grip will wear off but in my opinion it’s worth it because thr experience of using it is amazing

I just received the pencil today. I really doubt if the pencil is a used one. Because as you could see the image there was mild abrasion towards the tip. I don’t know if it’s the seller’s mistake. Please consider before buying. Otherwise the pencil is good.

At Rs 245, this is a bit overpriced. But it looks good. The plastic is light weight. I cannot say the build quality is fantastic but above average.

Good quality, has the right amount of weight, same color as ordered and good packaging. Also heard that this pencil lasts for years.

Finishing not good. Cant compare german made rotring pencil.

Famous stationery brand but nothing new in it as the rate is too high nothing special for the price zebra delguard is more durable and loooks is superb at its rate

The product delivered as described. The item was wrapped directly by bubble sheet and expected to have cartboard for its price. The pencil is heavy and grippy. Worth for money.

Good pridyct

I'm normally used to using something a bit thicker (0.5) but since I switched to a 0.35 I am able to hold my pencil with a firmer grip. Once I got used to the size difference I then decided to improve upon the quality of lead in my pencil, this meant I was able to cut down on premature clicking, some times I would click too fast that the lead would shoot out of my pencil and go all over!!BE CAREFUL splattered lead-marks can make a lot of mess, it used to stain my work but luckily this pencil has an eraser so just turn it upside-down, pull back the tip and then you'll be able to quickly rub one out. If you're feeling brave enough, try rubbing out a second but anything bigger then you'll have your hands-full. Always make sure you have a nice thick eraser just in case.Overall: Very satisfied

I took delivery of both the 0.5mm and 0.35mm versions of this pencil this morning, and will probably be purchasing the 0.7mm version, alongside my next Amazon order.I do have to say that both of the one star ratings for this product to date, are misleading and unfairly damning of the product.Both pencils were EXACTLY as shown in the vendors illustration, so I have no quibbles on that score.With regards to the one that you received was Ok but you worry about the other eleven? Did you think you were ordering a box of twelve pencils for that price?These pencils would be an asset for both draughtsmen and artists alike, who require the accuracy of line width that you expect from these types of pencils.As a draughtsman who still periodically produces pencil line drawings, I found these pencils to be well designed and comfortable to hold, and quite inexpensive.

This 0.35 pencil has proved very useful. I use it for initial sketching of the face, for example. Its weakness is also its strength - It breaks very easily. This forces me to work very freely. As soon as I apply any pressure the lead breaks. This is very helpful but be sure to get plenty of spare leads!I also like the colour-coding on the black barrel, although I haven't looked up what the other colours represent.It's worth having in your 'toolkit'.

Incredible pencil. I love the feeling of writing with this thing, I love my writing, it's so beautiful when I'm using this, from now on, I will never buy any other type of pencil ever, and when I lose this one, Heaven forbid, or something happens to it, I will reorder the exact same one. Honestly, I recommend this pencil. I'm going to remember this brand.

I use this Rotting 1904696 Tikky mechanical pencil all the time. It does come with a lead and although I purchased spares they last a long time. The pencil has a nice feel and is well balanced, it has a rubber under the end button which is a bit fiddly as when you push the cover back on you also eject more lead but not a problem.It is a nice looking pencil and does come in different sizes.
