The Rotring 500 is a premium mechanical pencil that combines legendary Rotring performance with exceptional value. Featuring a lightweight hexagonal plastic body paired with a professional knurled metal grip, the 500 delivers fatigue-free writing and sketching with superior control. Each pencil incorporates a precision brass mechanism for reliable lead advancement and a fixed 4mm lead guidance sleeve that prevents breakage while offering clear visibility for ruler-based drawing. The hexagonal barrel prevents rolling on inclined tables, while the metal knurled grip provides slip resistance. The 500 features a metal-cased lead hardness indicator for quick identification when working with multiple grades. Available in 0.5mm lead size and offered in bold colors including Black, Red, Green, and Blue, the Rotring 500 shares nearly identical features with the legendary 600 at a more accessible price, making it ideal for students, artists, architects, and professionals who demand professional performance with tip-heavy balance for enhanced precision.
