Best Mechanical Carpenter Pencils—Swanson Tool Co CP216

Mechanical: These pencils have refillable lead which is a handy feature as you won’t have to deal with messy shavings. This type of pencil can prove more expensive as you’ll have to invest in extra lead tips every so often.A carpenter's pencil should be effortless to hold and handle. 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 Swanson Tool AlwaysSharp mechanical carpenter pencil set includes two plastic pencils and eight graphite lead replacements for those who want a rectangle pencil they don't have to sharpen every few minutes. This way, you get sharp, pointed ends for precise marking without the pencil shavings. The Ox pencil is clearly fashioned on a snap off knife, the ‘lead’ leaves a nice, accurate thin line, not overly strong but good for more detailed marking on smooth surfaces
