Review: Best pencils I’ve owned for carpentry. - I love these pencils. I have bought several for myself and a set for my dad too. The plastic holder is one of my favorite features. It clips well in a work apron or tool belt and keeps the pencil right at hand. The sharpener at the bottom is excellent when needing to put a sharp point back on the lead. It’s so convenient. The pencil itself works so good. Its thin neck gets into tight areas easily, such as when tracing a stencil or duplicating another piece. I used to use # 2 wooden pencils for marking and they didn’t perform nearly as well. Also, the lead advance button on top moves the lead ahead just the right amount. I rarely get a broken lead because I’ve advanced the lead too long. I have no negatives to say about these pencils. Buy these original mechanical carpentry pencils, not the Chinese knock-offs.
Review: Best Pencil I have Ever Owned - A must have!! This is worth the price. This is the second pencil I have purchased for myself and simply love these. I've given a few to friends and colleagues too. The durability is amazing. First, the sleeve clips and holds amazingly well to your pocket, toolbelt, or whatever you clip it too. At first, I thought the clip would break since it grabs tight with small loops to stay put and needs a little manipulation to unclip and use the sharpener, but the plastic is strong and well designed. Second, the pencil stays put in the sleeve without having to fully seat it in the sleeve. I have yet to have it fall out on me. Having a sharpener on you is invaluable. How many times have you dulled or broken your pencil and needed a quick sharpening? Give yourself 30 seconds and you’re back in business. I’m not allowed to carry a knife or blade on job sites, so having a safe sharpening solution on hand is key. Third, the extended shaft lets you mark down deep “holes”, and it fits in a ¼” hole. I’ve used all the leads, and my favorites are the white and blue water jet resistant leads. They’re not wax and stand up to a wet saw and do eventually wear off in dry situations. All the leads, including the black graphite are perfect for wood, metal, painted surfaces,….. endless possibilities. They are not too soft, and a ten pack will last a long time.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is the refill easy to break?**
A: If you have it out too far it can break but we use this quite a bit and don’t have a problem. We use this on darker lumber in our wood shop with the white refill. Love it.

**Q: I need to mark up dark wood. Is there a white pencil lead for this?**
A: There are multi-color refills for the Pica-Dry Long-life Pencile.  I use the white refills on dark wood such as Brazilian cherry, and the black refills on lighter wood such as maple and oak.

**Q: Why does it say the brand is Picard Hammer?**
A: It’s the same thing. It’s pica brand.

**Q: Does it come with the neon green sheath with sharperer?**
A: Yes it does. Best pencil you can buy!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great for the shop
*by K***N on November 1, 2025*

This is the best marking pencil I've seen. The thick lead doesn't easily break, and because it is a mechanical pencil, I don't need to worry about sharpening most of the time, but the built in sharpener on the case makes it easy to get back to a fine tip of I need a precision point.
