C.H. HANSON Sharpdraw-HD Carpenter Pencil w/Refill

Great for marking precise measurements. Needs a locking mechanism to stop the lead retracting. Not great for writing letters or numbers

This is basically a pencil that works like a click box cutter. Always sharp, you’ll never need to sharpen a pencil again! And it has the same wide lead shape as a carpenter pencil, so it marks the same as one. The lead is tough and durable, I have not had it break. Well made considering that it is a simple pencil, retractable, has a pocket clip that’s removable, grips just like a box cutter, and is thin enough to tuck into your hat and not be a nuisance. It’s a great replacement for those 67 cent box store wooden pencils.

Junk. The lead breaks easily. As soon as the lumber is wet, it won't make marks. They kind of wash away. I saw a video of a guy showing it off and thought, I'll try it. Well, I tried it and I put it back in the truck after about an hour of trying to use it. It's now in the garbage since the last time I cleaned out the truck. Absolutely not worth the time.

Awesome pencil. Will be using it for a long time on all my projects.

Flimsy ink Good idea
