It's always sharp
This construction pencil is the best I've ever seen. I've used them for many years. Lowe's used to carry them. I had given up on finding them. Then l went to Swanson .com and they sent me to Amazon. I would recommend them to anyone. Thank you Swanson and Amazon. Joe Sexton in Nashville Tennessee

Great especially for me
The best penciled cause I don’t have to sharpen them and they feel just like a carpenter pencil.

Great carpenters pencil minus the weak pocket clip.
These are my preferred marking implement. They work like the old popper pencils that I used to have in school so many years ago, you pull a lead holder out from the front and insert it into the back to push a fresh holder up. In addition to that the leads in the lead holders are reversible so before you pop out a lead holder pull the lead out of it and flip it around and you get double use from each holder. My biggest gripe of these pencils is that the pocket clips suck. I have 2 places I'll principally keep the pencil on me in the back of my hat or in my pocket; when you keep them in your pocket invariably the small plastic clip breaks off and the slick rectangular pencil falls into your pocket. I with the clips were stronger of someone made a replacement because once the clip breaks the pen loses a lot of its utility and ease of use. I find myself putting them in retractors and attaching them to saws so that there is always a pencil there which means swiping leads becomes a pain. These mark well and are EZ to keep sharp, the lead is soft enough to mark on most any surface but hard enough to last and not break up with use.

Slick in the woodshop
I hate those flat wood working pencils that go dull often. Using a utility knife to sharpen sucks and wastes time. These babies work like a dream. Always sharp, handing in my apron, solid easy to see marking. Wish I found them sooner.

Much more than I expected
I don't have too much use for a carpenter's pencil as an electrician, but I've found myself making marks I've needed to remove once every so often, but not frequently enough to carry around a normal captenter's pencil and a sharpener. I grabbed this because it alleviated my need for a sharpener and my worry for carry wear and tear from being in my tool belt. I didn't expect much out of the cartridge tips, I thought them like normal mechanical pencils, that I would snap them 3 or 4 times while writing a paper, but these tips are sturdy,I've been using it for all my marks, and haven't needed to change the first tip in the month I've had it. Then to find the second pencil is fully loaded with tips too, and they give you a bunch of more replacement tips. I'm certain I'll lose both these mech pencils before I could ever dream of going through these tips. This is a no brainer buy for me. I can't speak for carpenters, but from what I've seen, even for them, skipping out on this is just old dogs who can't learn new tricks. I'm gonna give the other pencil to a carpenter friend in a company mine works with often, and I'll update on it in a few months on how much he likes or dislikes it. *edit* I just found out on accident that the led tips are double sided, literally doubled the already excessive amount of tips they give you. I feel like I need to mail them another $5 to not feel like I'm robing them blind. The value for this pencil is endless. ( Though I do have to admit I found this out because the led tip came out while I was using it, so that could be a problem for people used to regular carpenter pencils). Oh and my carpenter friend likes and loves it. He keeps and uses it because it makes clean razor thin marks every time. but he can't use it for writing because of the shape of the tip.

I have had no need to sharpen a carpenters pencil since getting them. Very innovative design and make perfect / easily visible lines. Changing cartridges is a bit fiddly but nothing too bad.

Great for wood working projects Can change the colour of the leads if need be. Leads are a nice hardness and sharp. Great to get 2 in a pack

Out with the old style wooden carpenter's pencils I have had in my toolbox for 30 years and in with these new refillable ones. They work well and make the same markings as the old ones but without the hassle of sharpening them all the time. This set arrived very promptly after ordering in perfect condition in commercial packaging.
