## Description

An iconic tool meant for a lifetime of use, the rOtring 800 ballpoint pen blends the classic form of the 800 mechanical pencil with a smooth-writing ballpoint pen. Durable yet practical, the full-metal body provides ideal weight balance for fatigue-free writing and drawing. This premium pen is refillable and comes loaded with a high-quality metal refill. It also has a hexagonal shape so it doesn’t slide off your working table or writing space. Advanced "Twist and Click" mechanism retracts the tip and sleeve for durability and pocket-safety. Excellent for frequent writing, drawing and sketching.

Review: There is a play in the mechanism. - Ok, so firstly I love the quality of Rotring and all, but if you are a bit pedantic - you will hate the fact that refill is not perfectly still in the barrel of the pen - it MOVES slightly :) Yes - this is a fact barrel is slightly too big and so as you write you will hear some clicks and squeals and squeaks caused by movement of the refill inside. Its easy to sort out if you don't mind - ( i don't ) - by giving a refill a single wrap in sellotape or simple writing paper stripe. It absolutely sorts out the problem and fixes the pen rendering it dead silent, not affecting retracting mechanism. Overall pen is amazing quality and it feels like it will last centuries :) Probably also most comfortable pen on the market - "whatever weather" Its great to write on your desk , or on the bench in the park in the rain - will not slip off your hands. Hand feels relaxed after hours of writing ( i do write crazy A LOT ) and retracting mechanism is absolute genius. So if you can overlook the initial "fix" you will never buy any other pen I guarantee you that lol
Review: Great pen! - 100% original, made in Japan. Just as it should be. Weight, material, texture, dimensions, packaging, everything is correct. I previously came across a silver good fake, but I sent it back, exchanging it for this model. This is the second one. And it is just as it should be, even cheaper than the silver one. Nothing will turn on in your pocket, the end is rounded so it won't make a hole, it is narrow and metal so it is perfect for a pocket notebook. I recommend it. It's a class of its own, nothing to add or subtract. I only changed the refill to 0.5 gel Parker because I like it. Great pen.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is the pocket clip permanently attached?**
A: The clip of this pen is attached permanently. It cannot be removed.

**Q: Is the 800 body thicker than the 600 or is the body the same thickness (diameter)?**
A: Same body thickness

**Q: Is the twist mechanism inside pen made of plastic or metal?**
A: Hi RS, this is Ivana from rOtring Consumer Care. Thank you for contacting us regarding our rOtring 800 Retractable Ballpoint Pen. Please be advised that the pen has a rOtring brass mechanism.

**Q: would this pen hold up to drops from my constant pen spinning at the office?**
A: The rOtring 800 Retractable Ballpoint Pen can withstand typical office use thanks to its robust construction and high-quality materials. However, it depends on what exactly you mean by the act of constantly rotating the pen.

If this refers to the act of rotating the pen by hand, i.e., flipping or twirling, it could affect the pen's durability. These actions increase the impact on the pen and increase the risk of dropping or other forms of physical damage.

On the other hand, if the pen is simply rotated on the desk, the rOtring 800 will withstand such use. However, careful handling at all times will extend the life of the pen.

Ultimately, it is up to the user to decide how much durability is needed and how much risk he or she is willing to accept.
