STAEDTLER 148 40 Medium Carpenters Pencil - 2H, 175 mm (Pack of 12), black

good quality carpenters pencils

quick delivery and great product

Flat Shape = No Roll: This thing refuses to roll off your workbench. Total W for anyone working on sloped surfaces.Tough Lead: The lead is thicker and harder than normal pencils, so it doesn’t snap easy – made for marking rough stuff like timber, concrete, and brick.Visible Marks: Leaves solid, dark lines even on dusty, textured surfaces. You’ll see it, even if your wood’s looking crusty.Customisable Tip: You sharpen it with a knife (or chisel), which lets you shape it to a fine point or a flat edge depending on what you need.❌ Cons:Not for Detail: Don’t expect precision like a mechanical pencil. It’s more "quick sketch" than "architect blueprint."Needs Blade to Sharpen: Can’t chuck it in a normal pencil sharpener unless you wanna ruin both. Gotta carry a blade or sandpaper block.Chunky to Hold: Not made for long writing sessions – more comfortable for quick marks than essay writing.⚒️ Who It’s For:Builders, DIYers, site workers, woodworkers. If you’re working in sawdust and grit, this pencil was literally made for you.

Sharpens well and marks well, good value.Only downside is they are hard to put behind your ear. The wide edge is too wide and the narrow edge is too narrow. I usually put it behind the ear narrow way and turn it the wide way to wedge it in place

Fantastic pencils for joinery

Can get a nice fine tip on these for more fine work. Or will last ages doing less accurate work, seem like in sharpen them less than other pencil. Leds never break when you drop them.

Always struggling to find a pencil that draws when I am doing DIY or or my expert DIY father comes over to do complicated projects. The HB pencils I have aren’t good enough so I bought him these. They are solid really high quality wood, the lead gives a lovely clear visible line and wipes off tiles easily. They are highly visible being green and don’t roll off surfaces so are always where I left them. They can be easily knife sharpened but as I am not able to knife sharpener them due to my medical condition I did buy a pencil sharpener from Amazon to go with them and they sharpened lovely and fast and didn’t splinter. These may have cost a bit more than some of the other carpenters pencils on offer but were certainly worth it from their quality. I have tested Staedler pencils for my art drawing work so I knew they would be good quality and I am not disappointed. I would highly recommend them.
