Hultafors Tools 650100 Dry Marker HDM, 483179

Best thing since sliced bread. Excellent quality, strong and sturdy design. Smooth action and the built in sharpener is such a great feature. Sharpener makes the same fine point with use a few turns. Pencil can be used while in the carrying case or without the case. Let clip for carrying case makes it easy to access. I love gadgets and this is my new favorite. Having multiple lead color choices is just icing on the cake. Highly recommend!!

Easy to use. Better point and no sharping like a pencil. Just easy.

Great construction pencil. I use this thing a whole lot in the field and so far it's been a great performer. No issues with the sharpener either. Made from good hard plastic that doesn't deform or break easily. Also, I love the color.

These are great to use in my woodshop doing woodworking projects, and they should be used by every woodworker to help them to write an exact measurement on the the piece of wood to cut. It will help you with your team to get the job done with precise measurements the first time! Excellent job! Highly recommend!!

I decided to get this one rather than a cheaper model because of durability concerns. I didn't want a pencil that suddenly couldn't hold the lead securely anymore. It has survived multiple drops. The sharpener in the holder is convenient, and works well, but might not be convenient for a lefty. The hard graphite holds a point well, but only shows up on lighter colored materials & wood. I got some Hultafors blue, green & white lead refills, and they really contrast with darker wood, like white on pressure treated. I use blue a lot, and only rarely use the graphite. I wonder whether cheap refills are worth trying. I find the colors can break when extended far from the metal support tube. While I sometimes change colors, I don't think I'd want to own multiple pencils.

Very convenient carpenter pencil. Worth $17 for sure. The holster has a built-in sharpener and a generally reliable pocket clip, and gives a tactile click when the pencil inserts. The pencil itself is very reliable. I like how thin I can make the graphite for finished carpentry or round it in the back of the sharpener for general purpose. It marks well on plywood, 2x4's - new and old growth, sheetrock, tongue-and-groove laminate, and even concrete. I also have a hultafors cylindrical graphite dispenser with gray, yellow and red refills. I'm assuming red and yellow are for metal and something else, but I don't really know. The gray works well enough for me, I haven't needed to find out. Two things to watch out for: One is the holster clip. I broke my first one dragging a tree branch and it snagged and fell out of my pocket. It was definitely user error but it failed nonetheless. The second is the holster will expand over time and the pencil won't click into place. My boss found that a wrap of gummed up duct tape around the shaft holds it snugly enough in the holster after that.

Excellent markers slim profile for marking in side holes great for equipment layout for installation

Convenient. Work very well. Pretty durable. I have one on each tool bag one for my side pockets. And broke the clip off of one of the holders but I've abused them pretty well and they're still working
