in the spirit of my last post here, I have added a few new mech pencils to my collection and thought I would share my observations on them. All of my pencils are 0.7 lead size. I have the following: Rotting 800 (currently and still, my favorite) Ohto Super Promecha PM-1507P Pentel Graphgear 1000 *new* TWSBI Precision *new* Hex-o-magic Retro 1951 I will focus on the two new ones here as my last post compared the others. The TWSBI is heavier than the Graphgear but lighter than the Promecha and the Rotring. The eraser is a whopping 1.5 inches in length (it came with three eraser refills too!) the grip is less aggressive than the Rotring but more ‘sticky’ than the rest of the bunch. Overall this is a good pencil, but I would still grab the rotring first and then the graphgear. I’d recommend the TWSBI if you really like the look and want a solidly constructed mech pencil. It doesn’t feel loose at all but is a little boring seeming in this group to me. The Hex-O-Matic also falls between the graph gear and the Promecha in weight feel (note: no hard measuring here). The grip is as aggressive as the rotring which I like but some may not. It is very clean looking with no printing only some stamping around the clip barrel-ring. One slightly frustrating thing I have noticed is it doesn’t retract as well as the TWSBI (the only other pencil that works the same way in my collection). I have found that I need to be pretty deliberate or else I end up with a bit of lead collar peeking through (pictured). Overall, apart from this last item, this is also a solid pencil with a tight lead deployment feel and is a decent weight. It too is not enough to upset my top two go-to pencils.

I have the regular Promecha 1000P pencil and it's great. I was afraid of getting the Super Promecha after watching and reading reviews.

If this is cheaper than amazon, these pencils are fantastic. I have a 0.9 and 0.3 amd they're great

For anyone really interested in mechanical pencils, pay a trip to r/mechanicalpencils

This is the exact same price as Amazon, plus or minus 1$, you might as well get it from amazon with much quicker shipping

After buying a Rotring, I just can't get used to any thing else....

I just now ordered a silver 800 (not the plus) from amazon and should arrive on Sat. Can't wait!

Yeah I have a GG1000, a 925-25 03, and a Kuru Toga roulette and I got to say they don't feel nearly as solid as my friends Rotring 800. Still solid pencils, but I would just invest money into a Rotring

This wasn't quite the deal I expected as I have had to pay £14 customs fees before delivery (UK). Shame Massdrop don't mention that when I select the shipping country.

JustStui take it you've not ordered something from outside the EU before, then. that's not massdrop's responsibility, and in fact when you join drops they explicitly say they're not responsible for any customs fees you may or may not encounter.

As I have a set of mech pencils that include one of these, I thought I might add a comment on what I have found. I have the following: OHTO Super Pro-Mecha PM-1507P (.07mm) GraphGear 1000 in .07mm Rotring 800 also in .07 (can you tell I have a preferred lead size?) All three have performed great for me (I have had the GraphGear the longest) but more often than not I grab the GG or the Rotring over the OHTO. The rotring is heavier and satisfyingly spring loaded when deploying the lead collar. The GraphGear is the simplest to deploy at one push (lead collar and lead deploy at the same time). The OHTO is a lot to fidget with (which also has its advantages in mech pencil). Overall, the Rotring feels like the most solid of the bunch and is the most compact. I have posted some pics for size comparison (including my recently purchased Lamy Swift - THANKS MASSDROP!)

Glad it was helpful. I think you’ll love owning both.

for me, I will wait for GraphGear 1000 , beside they look very nice. I think the writing experience will be more enjoyable.

I was wondering if you could join this drop twice to get all 5?
