Review on πŸ–‹οΈ Koh-I-Noor Rapidograph Stainless Steel Replacement Point, 0.60mm, Single Unit (72D.2) by Nicole Mcleod

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great tip, but... Be careful when cleaning!

The worst thing you can do is let the ink in these types of pens dry. So be a good pen owner and keep it clean (or use ink that won't dry on plastic/metal parts). I highly recommend NOT disassembling this pen or any of the smaller ones if you can help. If you can maintain it regularly, just put it in detergent to soak it up a bit and use a ball syringe to clean it. When you take it apart completely, be VERY CAREFUL not to bend the tiny wire that goes into the pin! Too late? Then do your best to straighten it, carefully place it back into the assembly (facing down), and wiggle until it falls into the pin. It will work, but maybe not as well as when it was new. I'm glad there is a place where you can only buy feathers! These are still my favorite drawing pencils! I've given 4 stars because I'm not sure the quality is as good as it used to be and I'm a little disappointed that there hasn't been any innovation in the design. these pens in the last 30 years.
