Kohinoor RAPIDOMATIC Mechanical Pencil 0.7 mm, (5637)

Excelente lapiseira!!

This is not the same pencil as the original Rapidomatic. See the image - top pencil is the "new" 0.7mm model, bottom is an original 0.5mm. The original has all-metal components in the internal mechanism - the new one does not. The knurling on the barrel is also a little finer than the original, and the threading on the plastic where the metal barrel joins on doesn't match well. Also, it came in no packaging at all - it was literally just flying around in the Amazon envelope alongside another item in the same shipment.

Nice pencil. The pencil feels good in my hand and balanced good. The brand kohinoor is always durable and never has function issues. This is a replacement to the original I had since 1987 and still worked fine with daily use until I lost it or someone accidently picked it up. The pencil feels pretty much like the original , but seems slightly lighter. For as long as the pencil last its an exceptional value and never has jammed at all and are very durable.

Excellent mechanical pencil. I bought this exact same item almost 50 years ago when I was in art school. Lead is held firmly in place and extends by pushing down on the top tip. Quality doesn’t go out of style and changing a design is not always necessary. I would recommend this and buy it over and over again.
