800 Mechanical Pencil | 0.5 mm | Black Metal Barrel

I use this pencil for office work and it’s easily the best mechanical pencil I’ve owned. It feels solid and premium because of the metal body, and it’s comfortable to write with for long periods. The weight makes it feel stable and controlled rather than flimsy. The standout feature for me is the retractable tip. It makes a real difference if you carry stationery around because I can put it in my pocket or bag without worrying the tip will bend or snap. That single feature makes it far more practical day to day than standard mechanical pencils, especially for commuting or moving between meeting rooms. Everything about it feels precise and well made, from the mechanism to the overall finish. It is more expensive than a basic pencil, but if you use it for work regularly it feels worth it because it’s reliable, satisfying to use, and built like something you’ll keep for years.

No doubt if you are looking into a 45 quid pencil you'll be doing your research. And some of that will lead you to a lot of people saying that the retractable Rotring has a slight tip wobble (because it's moving parts). I've been using this daily for over a year now and it's still going strong. I'm a massive fidgetter so I'm constantly popping the nib in and out and taking the rubber protector on and off and it's still not gotten to a point where it's worn or damaged. This is my favourite pencil. It weighs a really nice amount for me and feels like a good bit of kit. The improvements I think it could do with are minor. The first is the little tab thing that you slide it onto shirt pockets and what not. I think this should not be painted. This area is the one that gets the most wear and naturally the paint chips. It'd made more sense to plain finish it. The second is the availability of the rubbers. The rubbers last ages but they are a little difficult to pickup, in the end I opted to go for the ones direct from their site because they are a special size and didn't want to get the wrong ones. Besides that though I really like the pencil. I'd definitely recommend it if you are looking to upgrade to a something proper.

Without doubt, the best mechanical pencil I have ever bought. In fact I would go as far as to say it is the best writing tool I have ever purchased. The build quality is flawless. Solid metallic components everywhere. Really solid mechanism for revealing and retracting the tip. Loading can be a little fiddly and frustrating but this has been the case for every mechanical pencil I have ever had. I previously had one of these but the tip was bent by someone whilst I was away from my desk. Either that or the product failed. Replacement works just as well. Recommend the 0.7 over the 0.5 as 0.5mm Lead is very fragile and I found it breaks frequently. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

I’ve had this pencil as my EDC along with my fountain pen and ball point for over 6 months and it has been a phenomenal writing instrument for me. It is compact with a great mechanism that provides not only satisfaction if you’re a fidgeter like me but also great function by hiding away the lead sleeve when not in use so that it doesn’t damage the point. It is a very easy carry in the pocket or in any pen case you could think of. The pencil oozes class and quality. I wanted a pencil that would serve me for many years and I’m confident it will do just that! Highly recommend this pencil for anybody who needs a pencil on the go or in the studio or office environment or just about anywhere else!

I have a large collection of mech pencils and I love this pencil! The design is amazing in every way. However, there is a slight rattle in the nib when you write, which when you notice you notice and it does bug me, hence 4 stars. Out of all the pencils I own, I find the Staedler 925 my every day go to pencil. The build quality is overall excellent. I liked the gold and the fact that you can hide the nib, but there's better writing pencils for your money, the 600 being one.

I’ve tried many mechanical pencils, and I’ve settled on this one. It’s extremely well made, and well weighted. The knurled grip is defined enough to provide control, but not too deep to be uncomfortable over extended use. The retractable nib, which differentiates this model from the 600, allows for safe pocket carry, and to be honest it’s an extremely satisfying sound and feeling when engaging/disengaging. You don’t need to be an engineer to appreciate this pencil, but using one will make you appreciate tolerance and design in ways you never knew!

Good, but too expensive.

Molt bé.

Nice weight, superb construction quality, easy to handle, really enjoy it

I often find myself with a mechanical pencil in my pocket and with the retractable tip you get a great mechanical pencil to write with and the tip won't get damaged or make holes in your pockets. Love this. I leave my 600 and rapid Pro at my desk and take the 800 with me in my pocket.

The best of the best. Tad expensive!

Tak jak w tytule, kupiony na prezent, obdarowany miał nie tęgą minę, dostał przedmiot używany, w środku pudełko oceniłbym tak 3/5. Jeden rysik prawie wypisany (1 z 3), do tego na ołówku widać rdzę! Serio? Niezły "nowy" ołówek, pogadam z obdarowanym czy nie będzie chciał go zwrócić, bo to są jakieś nie zdrowe żarty. Żałuje tylko że zdjęcia nie zrobiłem. Najadłem się wstydu tylko, nieźle amazon.
