Tracer 2.8mm Carpenters Pencil Deep Hole Construction Pencil

As a hands on general contractor, every day I am on a job site working. I hate the normal construction pencils, they aren't any good for accurate marks. I have tried every style carpentry pencil that is offered on Amazon (don't find them too often at a box store). The ones without sheaths, the lead breaks easily or you lose the top with the sharpener. Not to mention they roll around when you set them down. The ones with sheaths are definitely higher quality, easier to store and the tips don't break off when stored in a pocket or on a belt. The Tracer is the best one of all of them so far. In fact the only reason I am buying a new one after a year of heavy use is because I lost it (my fault). No other one has lasted past a few months. I carry it even when I'm not working, kinda feel naked without it. Because of the extra clip on the pencil itself, it doesn't roll around. I have never had the lead breaks while stored either. It is of high quality, it performs its function flawlessly, and well worth the money! I highly recommend this pencil over all of the competitors! Just remember... Good isn't cheap and cheap is never good.

So the actually pencil is ok, so far as good as any of the others. My dislike is that the sharpener is in the holder so you have to use it with the holder or you can't sharpen it. I'm not a fan of the holders I'd rather juste have the pencil but the sharpener makes everything worth it. Usually with other pencils the sharpener doesn't actually cut or sharpen and it take 5min holding at weird angles to get a sharp point. Not this sharpener it actually works like you would expect them to and does perfectly. 10 stars for the sharpener, just wish it was with the pencil and not the holder so I could just throw the holder away

This is a must for any trade. It might look a little bit pricey, but I promise you that once you invest in it, you won’t go for any other pencil. Markings are clear, it has a cool little pouch that stays in your pocket or pouch, comes with a sharpener, and works on every material I’ve tried to make markings on. Marks most surfaces and is an essential item to have in your toolbox. This is a durable item that has a variety of uses and is something that a tradesman can't be without! It is the perfect tool for Electricians, low-voltage techs, and DIY enthusiasts alike.

So much better than construction pencils or standard mechanical pencils. The built in sharpener is great. Retention of the holster is great. I have zero complaints.

Works great. The clip is strong and will not come unattached from your pocket. Slides in and out of the holder pretty easily. Love the built in sharpener.

My favorite work pencil I've had. Used most out there.. like that this feed cap can't just get bumped off or get lost like with some others.

I love that the sharpener is accessible while the holder/case is still clipped in a pocket. You can truly use this pencil one handed even if you break the tip mid mark and need to re-sharpen. It is well built and comfortable in the hand. It does not fall out of the holder when put away

Nothing bad you can say about this. It’s a great value. It seems to last a long time. Definitely a good purchase.

First pencil of this kind that I have used that work i.e. The lead does not disappear into the pencil when you write with it. So far - have to ser what happens in the long run.
