Frequently Asked Questions

Why use a carbon marking pencil instead of a normal pencil?

A carbon pencil writes on all types of surfaces, including metal, tile, glass and wet or dry timber, where a graphite pencil can slip or fade. The 2.8mm carbon lead holds a clear line that stays visible through the job. That makes it a reliable marking tool for roofers and tilers.

Does the pencil come with a sharpener?

Yes. The cap has an integrated lead sharpener built in, so you can sharpen the 2.8mm lead on the job without carrying a separate sharpener. The stainless steel lead feed tube keeps the lead seated firmly while you work.

Can I use it on wet surfaces?

Yes. The listing states the pencil marks on all surfaces, wet or dry. The carbon lead holds a line on damp timber and wet metal, which is a real advantage on a roof or a tiling job where surfaces are not always dry. The marks can be wiped off with a damp cloth when they are no longer needed.

What material is the pencil body made from?

The body is made from high quality PP, ABS and stainless steel. The plastic sections keep the pencil light and tough, and the stainless steel parts, including the lead feed tube, protect the areas that see the most wear. The result is a marking pencil built for site conditions.
