Review: The best pencil to have as a designer - This is a high end product and worth every penny
Review: Rapid is better than 600. - I got the rapid pro model. The difference is the 600 has a fixed tip, but the metal tip of the pro extends from .5mm unto the full 2mm, just depending on how hard down the click. The first click pushes out the metal tip accordingly, the second click dispenses the lead. I saw reviews in which people claim callous fingers, yes but I realized holding the pencil differently while writing does not cause that problem. Why? Japanese use chopsticks while eating instead of spoons and forks. So just hold the pencil at the grippy section with the balls of 3 fingers i.e.thumb, index and middle finger.
