Designed with a unique ‘twist and click’ retractable mechanism of the entire sleeve and lead, gives the 800 more durability. Also with the rOtring brass mechanism for precision lead advancement, and a fixed lead guidance sleeve to prevent break and offer an unimpeded view of the page for precise ruler—based drawing.

There is a built in erase under the push-button cap for quick erasing, to ensure mistakes aren’t permanent.

Review: It's a rOtring. Enough said. - It's a rOtring. That in and of itself should tell you it's super high quality. Buttery smooth retraction with a satisfying snap. Hefty, solid feeling pencil that somehow feels weightless. Extremely good writer. Great for technical drawings, drafting, lettering, just about anything that requires putting pencil to paper. Makes a great gift, a true "buy it for life" pencil.
Review: my review of the rOtring 800 - i bought two of the rOtring 800 pencils and personally i think that they’re solid writing tools. they are made with solid brass and you can tell the first time you pick it up, especially with the knurling where you’re supposed to hold it. the writing is just like any other mechanical pencil but i like the knurling a lot because of the grip and it’s a little weird writing with at first because of how slender the pencil is compared to normal ones. it’s easy to tell that this is really a tool rather than just a mechanical pencil. for example, pressing the lead advance button or retracting the tip just feels like it is well-made and it’s quite fidgetable if that is something of value to you. now there are cons, albeit one that is just minor design issues. there is a little bit of a “gap” when you press down on the lead advance button, and it’s not really a dealbreaker to me but i feel like that could’ve been improved, and in general how sensitive the tip is but it’s at least retractable (still have to be careful with that). now the biggest con is the very high price, but i find it pays itself off since you wont be using any of those cheap almost disposable mechanical pencils that i myself used to use. and i hear a lot about how some engineering students and such have kept it for years. in short, this is a solid choice for a reliable, tough and nearly unbreakable pen (emphasis on nearly, but the retractability checks itself out) and if you’re willing to get by the high price, i think that this is a good choice for anyone that needs a rugged and reliable mechanical pencil.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this pencil made in Germany?**
A: I believe that Rotring is now made in Japan.  See ref.http://edjelley.com/2014/02/22/rotring-800-0-5mm-pencil-review/http://www.fountainpennetwork.com/forum/index.php/topic/200461-rotring-600-made-in/

**Q: Does this come with the metal internals or is it the plastic ones that were from old stock**
A: The Rotring 800 Mechanical Pencil is a full body metal pencil. The internal parts of the pencil are also metal.

**Q: Does this 800 have the lead hardness grade indicator ?**
A: Nope

**Q: 2 Tips and Key.  Instructions state that ‘2 tips and 1 key are included’ however did not find any in the box.  Anyone else missing these items?**
A: Hmm. I bet that part of the instructions only refers to the 800 plus and is about the stylus tips, not part of the standard 800.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Classic Quality in a Precision Writing Instrument
*by J***D on February 22, 2023*

I bought 2 Rotring 800, 0.5mm mechanical pencils for drawing and note taking. I use these, as well as a number of the less expensive 500's with multiple colors of leads and keep them at hand in a 3D holder I designed and printed. The retractable barrel is brilliant as you can easily keep it in your pocket without retracting the lead (or poking holes in your shirt). The barrel extends with the lead exactly where you left it, which sounds like a small thing until you do it a few hundred times. The retraction mechanism is also easily managed with your writing hand (one-handed), and spring-loaded. The build quality is excellent, and I imagine that these are made to last a lifetime. The pencil is much heavier than the hybrid metal/plastic models, but I find the weight to be a major advantage for throwing steady lines and arcs, owing to the additional inertia. The "micro" knurling around the grip area is small enough to be comfortable, yet sharp enough to create a positive no-slip hold. The visibility around the point is perfect for precision drawing and also allows for accurate alignment when used with drawing tools (triangles, t-squares, circle and elipse templates, etc.). In terms of finish, I have read some criticism of the durability, and I have a couple of nicks here and there, but I would attribute this to my handling of the instrument and not a failing of the design. To me, it is minor and only adds to the character. If you want to keep this pencil pristine, then you should keep it in a holder and not loose in among other pencils or objects that will chip or mar the finish. That's part of why I designed and printed the holder - so that I could protect the pencil and have it close at hand. If someone knows of a better mechanical pencil. Please post a link to it!
