TRACER Deep Hole Construction Pencil with TRACER Site Holster. Extendable 2B Carpenter Pencil with Inbuilt Carpenter Pencil Sharpener...

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 wont 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 Ive 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.

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 ZeeBooth (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.

Very good

The sturdy tube inside runs the length of the lead so if you drop this thing or bang it around the lead will stay intact. The placement of the sharpener is perfect for how these are meant to be stored in your pocket or pouch. For some reason none of the other mechanical carpenter's pencils get this right. I love this pencil and HIGHLY recommend anyone thinking about getting one to get it.

Works well.
