Dry Longlife Automatic Pencil 3030

Great! Works better that traditional woodworking pencils. Allows to you to make a more accurate line and the holder is awesome and very sturdy. Ease to use, built in sharpener helps make a fine tip. Only complaint is that it sticks up pretty far out of the pouch and I'm always hitting the top button getting it out of the holder. Then i have to slide the lead back in, but oh well might take some getting use to. Writes on everything. I would for sure buy another one and totally worth the money.

Saw the pencil on a woodworking video and it hits the mark. Love how it hooks on my pocket so it is easy to pull out and use then put right back. The sharpener also works nicely. Now I just have to stop forgetting to take it out of my pocket when I am done working.

Great tool to have in hand when working with wood or any material for that matter.

This is the best mechanical carpenter's pencil that I have found. It has several nice features. 1. Sheath - it has a holster which works great. The holster stays securely connected to my pocket, belt, apron. The pencil stays securely in the sheath even if you just drop it in. The sheath is round so that you can drop the pencil in without lining anything up. I like my Thorvald, but with no sheath it is much more work to take it in and out of pockets and toolbelts. One of the teeth that holds the Thorvald broke quickly. 2. Cap - The cap stays on solidly. Most of the time I grabbed my Thorvald, the cap came out but the pencil stayed. 3. Sharpener - The sharpener gives a very nice, sharp tip that still does not break too much. The downside to the sharpener is that you have to pull the sheath out to sharpen the pencil. Not too big of a deal because I do not need to sharpen often. 4. Lead holding, loading, advancement - the leads go in easily, advance nicely and does not slip. 5. Ability to mark in deep pockets. The end tube is pretty thin (similar to almost all of its competetors) making it easier to mark inside small diameter wholes. You can also advance the lead quite a ways, so you can mark in any hole as wide as the lead diameter. The only downside to the pica is that it is round, so more likely to roll off of a table. There is a roll stop in the collar, but it is still more prone to roll than something like the ox. Still, I prefer the round Pica because it makes it easier to drop into the sheath. The Pica leads seem to be great, but I went with the Hultafors refill pack. They are slightly different diameter to the Pica leads, but work just fine. I went with the Hultafors refill pack because of the cool dispenser that clips on my tool pouch. That way I always have refills with me. Tracer makes a similar, even smaller refill. If you are looking for a mechanical carpenter's pencil, buy the Pica Dry. It works great.

Awesome pencil great for deep hole marking good grip built in sharpener that works. Love it

Great functionality, even works on composite decking so you can see it, and all around awesome. My only quibble is that it eventually loosens up from the scabbard and fall out rather easily, and for the third time now I look down for my pencil and all I have is an empty scabbard clipped in. So that’s $45 in pencils gone back to the wild yonder, which is not great. I might wrap some masking tape around whatever I get next.

16 bucks for a pencil, 1$ a stick for the refills, how is it worth it you may ask? Well, every once in a while it’s nice to spend money on the small things we use everyday but don’t think about how often we really do use them. I am a commercial/industrial electrician. We do massive piping infrastructures in every building we work in. Miles of large and small pipes being ran, bent, and cut. And with every stick there’s generally a mark or two that needs to be made. Constant pencil sharpening with razor knifes, pencil always falling out of your ear or hard hat or snapping in your pocket, etc. Well this pencil is the answer to most of those problems. Heavy duty graphite that doesn’t break easily by any means, I use it daily on block and concrete walls, Sheetrock, rigid and emt piping that’s loaded with oil, and for writing material lists or bending situations we need to achieve. This pencil is hands down the best writing apparatus I have used in the field. The oils and paints on concrete or piping tend to destroy the sharpie marker tips rather quickly. Yet this pencil marks thru it all and never gets messy. It has a nice holder that you can place In your pocket or attach to your hard hat like I have, and on the end of the holder there is a sharpener for adding a point to the lead. I’ve been using it daily for about 3 weeks and the first lead stick is still going strong. I bought the 10 pack of refills for it as well. Seems like they will last me quite a while. They also sell colored graphite as well as just black. If you are in the trades of any type then this pencil is worth the premium price it asks for. Longevity will be the only factor that determines whether or not I purchase another one. But only time will tell. For now it’s a 5 star worthy purchase. The only con I have is it doesn’t have an eraser. Not that they ever do a great job anyways but sometimes it would be nice to have it. But I feel that the pencil is designed to last a long time and the erasers never do so that’s probably the reason why it doesn’t exist. *****Update***** After about 14 months of owning this pencil it is still functioning like the first day I got it. It is super durable and just a very well made device. The lead lasts forever when marking on pipes or using as a writing tool. Concrete or block tends to run thru it faster but still not bad. I’ve since purchased the colored inks as well (Green, Blue, White) They are an amazing add esp when working in dimly lit areas for visual purposes. The colors work great on pipe and walls but they go much faster than the regular lead. Just wanted to write this update to say this is indeed a worthy investment and since my first purchase I’ve bought a second pencil for use at home because I can’t go back to regular pencils even for home projects now haha.

IDK about professionals but as a DIY enthusiast, this pencil is the best. Way better than a regular marking pencil. That's pretty much it. Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

De Pica 0071650-000 Dry Longlife Marker is een fantastische ontdekking voor mij! Deze marker is niet alleen duurzaam, maar biedt ook een ongeëvenaarde schrijfervaring. Als iemand die vaak met verschillende materialen werkt, kan ik met zekerheid zeggen dat deze marker een echte must-have is. Wat me meteen opviel, is de uitstekende kwaliteit van de inkt. De marker schrijft soepel en geeft een duidelijke, heldere lijn, wat perfect is voor zowel binnen- als buitengebruik. Of ik nu op papier, hout of een andere ondergrond schrijf, de inkt blijft goed zitten en vervaagt niet snel, wat het ideaal maakt voor langdurig gebruik. De puntenslijper die bij de marker wordt geleverd is ook een geweldige toevoeging. Het stelt me in staat om de punt van de marker gemakkelijk aan te passen voor een fijne of bredere lijn, afhankelijk van wat ik nodig heb. Dit maakt de marker uiterst veelzijdig en handig voor verschillende toepassingen, van het maken van notities tot het creëren van gedetailleerde tekeningen. Daarnaast vind ik het duurzame ontwerp van de Pica-marker geweldig. Het materiaal voelt stevig aan, en het idee dat ik een product gebruik dat lang meegaat, geeft me extra tevredenheid. Het is fijn om te weten dat ik minder vaak nieuwe markers hoef aan te schaffen, wat ook nog eens beter is voor het milieu. De ergonomische grip is een ander pluspunt. De marker ligt comfortabel in de hand, waardoor ik langere tijd kan schrijven of tekenen zonder last van vermoeidheid. Dit is vooral belangrijk voor projecten die wat meer tijd in beslag nemen. Kortom, de Pica 0071650-000 Dry Longlife Marker met Puntenslijper is een uitstekende keuze voor iedereen die op zoek is naar een betrouwbare, duurzame en veelzijdige marker. Ik kan het van harte aanbevelen aan zowel professionals als hobbyisten die hoge eisen stellen aan hun schrijfgerei. Deze marker heeft mijn verwachtingen overtroffen!

Gran calidad del producto, muy simple de usar y cumplió todas mis expectativas, recomendable al 100 %

Der Pica Dry ist meiner Meinung nach der beste Baustiften überhaupt. Liegt super in der Hand, schreibt auf fast allen Materialien – egal ob Holz, Putz, Metall oder Fliesen. Die Minen halten lange, lassen sich leicht wechseln, und selbst nach Wochen im Staub funktioniert er noch einwandfrei. Die Spitze kommt perfekt in enge Löcher und Bohrpunkte, ideal beim Anzeichnen. Ich nutze ihn täglich als Maler und kann ihn absolut empfehlen. Etwas teurer als Billig-Stifte, aber jeder Cent lohnt sich.

凄く自分は使いやすいと思いました。今までは鉛筆等を使ってましたがこれにしてから鉛筆には戻れませんね。
