Rotring Rapid Pro Giveaway
Woo-hoo and Welcome to the inaugural Daves Mechanical Pencils giveaway.
Yep,
Cult Pens have taken pity on you, you poor neglected readers and sent me a Rotring Rapid Pro mechanical pencil to give away to you.
So, the pencil to be given away is this very one - a Rotring Rapid Pro 0.5mm in its nice little box.
Here’s how the giveaway works. If you want to enter the competition, you leave a comment on this article. Just a simple "Yep, count me in" sort of comment. That’s it. Nothing more required....except if you don’t have a sign in and are commenting anonymously then you will have to leave some unique identifier in your actual comment, like “JK from the USA” or “Marieta84” so I can tell you all apart. Comments will stay open for 5 days from the time of publication. After that I will use my random number generator to choose a comment as the winner, amend this article to name the winner and they will have a couple of days to get in touch with me and claim their prize. So make sure you check back when the five days are up, or you might miss out.
Just to clarify - this give away is open to any reader anywhere in the world - I will post it to you no matter where you are.
Rotring Rapid Pro…it’s pretty darn impressive.
But wait, there’s more. Here’s the bit where I say “There’s no such thing as a free lunch”. So, I expect something back from the winner. After they’ve used their nice new Rapid Pro for a few weeks I’d like some form of article back. A full review, a mini review or even just a few sentences of “I liked this and this, but am not so keen on that bit.” It doesn’t have to be anything fancy, just something, big or small.
Check out the
2mm version of the Rapid Pro. The
Staedtler 925 25 now has another competitor…another range of mechanical pencils where the 2mm pencil is a genuine full member of the set.
And hey, remember, it’s all thanks to the folks at
Cult Pens.
THIS GIVE AWAY IS NOW CLOSED.
The winners were Spuddybuddy and Rhonda Eudaly. See
here for results.
I don't need it lol I'll post here anyway what is a Rapid Pro looks like a 600 series.

ReplyDeleteDwscamel from USA.
Interesting!
ReplyDeleteFirst when I read about this pen in an announcement on that special japanese site which name I forgot, I thought it could/would be a fake.
But it isn't:
http://www.rotring.com/en/produkte/technisches_schreiben/rapid_pro.php
It's price is about 32.50 EUR in Germany.

Incredible! Count me in.
ReplyDeleteWhoohoo, count me in.
ReplyDeleteWhy is e.g. the Rotring 600 in 2mm not a true member of its family? Does it have a different mechanism than the thinner lead versions?
Good luck for all! This is a great prize!!
ReplyDeleteMarco Bona from Brasil
2nd - good question. I don't have one but I thought the 2mm was a clutch pencil. A quick check on Bundoki website images clearly show it as a clutch pencil. Anyway, you raise a good point in that my wording implied I knew everything and there were no others so I have changed that.
ReplyDeleteHey...what if this comment number is the one picked as the winner :-)
OMG... this one is so nice. Count me in please! Kilometric review for it :D.
ReplyDeleteThat 2mm version of the Rapid Pro looks awfully tempting indeed. Count me in too please.
ReplyDeleteI like 0.5mm pencils!
ReplyDeleteI'm in...

ReplyDeleteAndrew Wellington New Zealand
Sweet, I'm on board!
ReplyDeleteWow, before I found this site, I thought I was the only one in the world nutty about pencils.
ReplyDeleteI'm all for it!
ReplyDelete"Yep, count me in" or if I'll win, what shell I do with my scribble?
ReplyDelete@ 2nd_astronaut
ReplyDeletefrom the rotring-site:
"The 2.0 mm pencil offers an innovative push mechanism for controlled lead transportation that provides unlimited drawing precision and features a sharpener integrated in the push cap.
Mechanical pencils in 0.5 and 0.7 mm are equipped with a cushion point mechanism with sliding pipe to support a convenient and highly comfortable long writing distance."

Me Too! I've heard nothing but good things about these :)
