Mechanical pencil all metal, with original black finish and useful for example to identify which mine hardness is what pen. Quality is in the tradition Rotring (although Rotring has diversified its range with ordinary ... and cheaper products). Important detail: the mine guide bush completely into the pen, the end does well in this position 3-4 mm in diameter. In addition to saving the pockets or bags, it avoids breaking the tip by accident. The metallic claw completely surrounds the barrel: absolute strength. You often find claws inserted in a plastic body, which can withstand a few months when we really serves the claw.
Metal building Consequence: it's heavy. A gate current mine is 15g. This model is rather around 25g.
A price which is reasonable for a nice tool almost indestructible. Very pleased with this purchase.
