What Customers Are Saying

Customers overwhelmingly praise these carpenter pencils for their bright red lead and flat design, which stands out dramatically on dark surfaces like walnut, pressure-treated wood, and concrete. The flat shape prevents rolling on job sites and workbenches, while the pencils sharpen easily and hold their point reliably. Many appreciate the value and durability for both professional and DIY use. A few note the lead is softer than expected or breaks more easily, but the vast majority consider them an excellent choice for marking and cutting tasks.

Inconsistent, some good, some affull

Would Not Recommend

I had bought one of these some time ago, and was pleasantly surprised it was better than other examples from elsewhere. So I always wanted to stop in again and pick up another one. I did pickup 2, and the lead just kept breaking off. Just switched to a sharpie and moved on. I know these are like 48 cents, but I rather just buy one of those expensive mechanical thingies and loose the hassle. I noticed that the wood was harder than usual for any type of carpenter pencil so maybe it was a fluke,...

Good for marking landscape fabric.

Would Recommend

Bought to mark landscaping fabric for cuts, works well and shows up easily. Yellow would probably be easier to see but red works.

You don't have to chase this one!

Would Recommend

The carpenter pencil design helps on jobsites as it stays where you put it! Marks well, water doesn't scrub it off-- good stuff!
