Honghuan is the first German mechanical pencil, but the development of German mechanical pencil has stagnated and has long been surpassed by Japanese pencils. Red Ring has long been acquired by the American Sanford Group, and the industrial chain has been transferred to Japan, and it continues to be active in the market only by relying on its original reputation, and the price remains high.
Red Ring manufactures professional drawing mechanical pencils, and after being acquired, it launched a writing mechanical pencil to expand its market share. The movement parts of Honghuan's whole line of mechanical pencils are made of brass, which has very good lead conveying performance, and the core nibs are fixed metal needles and tubes except for the high-end series, which can be used well with the drawing ruler.
The price ladder distribution of red ring mechanical pencils is very obvious, the cheapest Tikky series is almost 50 yuan, the basic 300 and 500 are below 200 yuan, and the price of other all-metal mechanical pencils is directly raised to more than 200, and the price of red ring 800 is even more than 600 yuan, and the cost performance is very low.
The red ring tends to give the impression that capitalism is making money. Compare all the mechanical pencils of the red ring, you will find that the red ring only adds some new tricks to the functions of different products, in order to raise the price, but the use experience is very average, such as the capacitive touch screen function of the 800 model, which can be used as an ordinary touch, but the drawing touch is completely insufficient. The more recommended models are the 500, 600 and Rapid PRO, which are not much different in terms of movement craftsmanship, grip and product quality, and can be purchased according to their preferences and price acceptance.
It should be noted that the cheap red ring mechanical pencil on the market is basically a Chinese cottage brand, although the Chinese name is called red ring, but the English name of the cottage brand is redcircle, and the German rOtring is completely different, even if the product looks exactly the same, but the quality can not be compared.
