M.A.S #7 | REVIEW: ICON vs FASHION - Rotring 600 vs 800 - Mechanical Pencils

As an engineer you will have the pleasure to go through calculations and scheme diagramas in every day life... Let's analyse it as such!

Finally we can find the better one...or can we?

Fantastic video! As an engineering student, loved the analysis

I still got my Tikky II from highschool. Im now 38.

One of the more informative videos on the Rotring 600 v 800 models. Very well presented indeed.

[toequantumspace]

You deserve much more subs! Excellent review!

[ei..]

Just ordered a rotring 800. Have never used anything other than cheap almost disposable mechanical pencils, so can't wait to try something proper! I study graphic design, and commute every day, so the retractable tip seemed like a must for me

Listen to that thud when the 800 drops. Such a satisfying sounding.

[Humbleyoself]

To be honest both are in my collection and love them both, of course the 600 I use for my sketches and the 800 I use for writing and honestly the 800 does wobble a tiny bit but I barely notice it while writing since that's what I really use it for and 600 for my more precise needs

[MybeautifulandamazingPrincess]

I think the 800 is a great product, it started as the 600 retractable, as a way to make it pocket safe and fit for portability, without worrying about damaging the tip.

I really like both of them

[Asunder]

Great video! thank you for the much-needed insight!

[govindanchandran]

I like Really liked the 2 Rotring Mechanical pencils:600, 800 Analysis A lot...
Thank you.

[mauriciolacruz]

Great review! 👍🏻

I'd have liked you to include the Rapid Pro in this in-deep comparison as well.

By the way, I find a lower (towards the tip) center of gravity (balance point) to give a better handling and writing experience in general, so what for you is a "cons" in the 600, for me is a "pro".

[rajivravio]

Nice analysis, please do one on the rotring 600 3 in 1 next!

[SKYDragon]

Great review, awesome! By the way, do you know where I can get parts for Rotring mechanical pencils?

[stanleyandi]

The most comfortable position to hold the pencil are at it's balance point and at the half of the balance point (measured from the tip of the lead to the balance point).... I personally prefer a pencil with the balance point located closer to the tip, although i can adapt well by holding them on it's balance point or at it's half of the balance point

[tentinquarantino]

hey! great video -- what lead grade were you using with the pencils? thanks!

[SevenDeMagnus]

Cool, which is your favorite of the two?

God bless.

sabes como desensamblar el jotter by parker?

[mauriciolacruz]

What I don't like on the 600 is the eraser cap being hollow (having a hole) on the top instead of being solid.

Also the clutch housing / inner thread should have been made out of metal as well, like the rest of parts.

Other than that, this is my top #1 and I love it.
