OX Tuff Carbon - Marking Pencil

Product Information

Both brands start off brilliant and the minute they get damp (impossible to avoid for me) they turn to mush and whatever you do to clean them out and dry them they never work properly again. If your hands tend to get sweaty, or you work outdoors in all weather, look for pencils with non-slip, rubber, or silicone grips. The logo, color, typos, and other pencil characteristics are not guaranteed, so you can get the same logo and color 24 times or a full set of random matches.

I’ve actually had 5 and one of my dogs chewed one so I’m not counting that as a failure on their part.

The 24-Pack Misprint Carpenter Pencil Setis a discounted set of professional carpenter pencils with printing problems.Their design also provides a more comfortable grip due to the increased surface area, even when hands are wet. The Striker pencil has a thicker, much tougher ‘lead’ that is great for marking rough sawn timber, concrete, slabs, etc. Each pencil has a pocket clip so you can connect it to a pocket or tool belt, while its shape prevents it from rolling away. Short of the obvious ‘just use a pencil’ answers anyone suggest another brand that will work for more than 5 minutes.

Its tool belt holster and the cap's lead sharpener ensure smooth operation and clean lines without adding weight to your tool belt. The International Carpenter pencil from Deluxe has a flat barrel core and comes in eight different colors.
