Rotring do make some very good quality mechanical pencils, but they do come with a premium price. These ones, whilst still expensive at around £5 each, are a budget price for Rotring. The plastic body is comfortable to hold. The plastic is smooth to touch, but the rippling helps grip. The mechanics work smooth and a single press is enough to extend just the right amount of lead. It comes with 2 leads, one loaded and one in the barrel which will feed in as the other runs out. The leads are 6cms in length and they have a slight gold shimmer to them. The leads are good quality that produces a clean and even line. To refill, you just pull off the cap to expose the eraser, pull this out and drop in a new lead. These are great pencils and a pleasure to write with. I can’t see a box of this size being bought for personal use, but a business would certainly keep their employees happy if these were to be given out. They are a pleasure to write with and ideal for technical drawing. Read more

Rotring have been a top brand for technical pens for many years - I remember using them 40 years ago, and the set of ink pens came with a mechanical pencil. It was a lightweight mechanical pencil that was easy to use and made very smooth marks on paper. It wasn't called a Tikky, just a 'Rotring T' but I always understood the T stood for Tikky. Roll forward to 2024 and the Rotring Tikky is branded as a Retro design, which doesn't make me feel old at all! Put it this way, I still have my old T so was able to compare them side by side (see photo). My T is a 0.5 lead but - excluding the original signature brown colour of the brand - the body design is almost identical. The new version has a slightly longer button on the end but that's the only difference. Underneath the button is a small eraser but it's for emergencies only. Pull the eraser out to reveal the aperture to insert replacement leads. It is a classic design and it works well - the lead is very smooth and, being 2B, has that mix of dark mark and smooth writing without wearing down too quickly. Note that this is a pack of 12 pencils so is really suitable for offices or schools as one pencil will last you a long time - I've had my original one for decades and it still works perfectly. A couple of minor issues - 1. There is only one lead supplied with each pencil so you will need to order refills; I'm sure you used to get a couple at least in the body 2. The pens have a white sticky label which I find irritating; I removed one and thought it might be an easy-peel label but the next one I tried left a sticky residue. Read more

Confezione da 12 matite meccaniche Rotring per disegno tecnico o artistico o anche solo per prendere appunti. Questa versione è con mine 0.7 mm 2B. Il pulsante ha un cappuccio con la gommina interna per cancellare. Si preme il pulsante e esce la mina. Lo scatto è preciso e sicuro, non manca un colpo, non come succede spesso in portamine economici che cominciano a perdere colpi. Sono molto maneggevoli e la presa è sicura. Da tecnico ne uso molte di portamine, e nonostante i tempi odierni abbiano sostituito questi oggetti con la scrittura elettronica, molti come me ancora rimangono ancorati alla tradizione. Per la mia esperienza sono ottime matite meccaniche, curate in ogni dettaglio e dai colori vividi. Il prezzo non è basso ma la confezione da 12 permette un risparmio notevole, inoltre è tutto in linea con la qualità. Su questa non si può dire nulla se non parlarne bene. Sono rimasto soddisfatto dell'utilizzo. Read more

Ich kenne diese Druckbleistifte grundsätzlich seit meiner Schulzeit, also über 40 Jahre. Sie haben mich in meiner Schulzeit davor bewahrt, ständig mit (im "Schlampermäppchen") abgebrochenen Bleistiften dar zu stehen. Heute wie damals finde ich die Form des Stiftes, und die Griffausführung sehr angenehm, griffig und gut zu führen. Aus Schulzeiten (keine Ahnung ob es noch der erste ist, aber sicherlich auch 30 Jahre alt) habe ich noch ein anderes Exemplar dieser Stifte, und ich kann offen gestanden auf Anhieb keinen Unterschied feststellen, auch nicht im Gewicht, oder Material! Die Stifte kamen hier mit jeweils 2 Minen an, wobei allerdings wohl durch den Transport die jeweils im Schaft steckende Mine nach ca. 1 cm abgebrochen war. Das Päckchen hatte allerdings auch eine eingedellte Ecke, hier wird jemand mit Fußball gespielt haben, oder ähnliches. Dennoch blieben in den Stiften, und ja ich habe mir die Mühe gemacht nach meiner Entdeckung alle 12 zu prüfen, der längere Teil der abgebrochenen Mine, sowie die jeweils zweite Mine unbeschädigt, was in meinen Augen auch ein gute Zeichen für die Qualität und Verarbeitung ist. Ich nutze diese Stifte nach wie vor sehr gerne, habe an den aktuell gelieferten überhaupt nichts auszusetzen, und vergebe daher hier die vollen 5 Sterne! Read more
