Tracer Deep Hole Construction Pencil with Site Holster (120mm, Extendable 2B Carpenter Pencil with Inbuilt Sharpener)

If you're anything like me, you can never find your pencil. I'm a serial DIYer, but spend most of my time pencil hunting. I swear I put it behind my ear... That was until I got my Tracer pencil. Gone are the days of vanishing pencils. It now sits proudly in one of the screwdriver loops of my work trousers. Simple to grab whenever I need it, and easy to remember to return it to it's holster. Apart from now knowing exactly where it is at all times, this is also a great pencil. It doesn't blunt too quickly, and is easy to quickly sharpen with the built in sharpener on the holster. It's not the cheapest, but I'd say you definitely get what you pay for. It's a well thought out design, and good quality. Just a word of warning, if you're using it to mark a deep hole, you need to be extra careful. The lead will be fully extracted, and although it's probably stronger than the average pencil lead, it is still brittle, and will snap with any lateral pressure. Overall, though, this is one of my favourite additions to my toolkit. It's simple and unsexy, but has saved me so much time now I don't have to play hide and seek with my pencil.

I don't know why I waited so long to buy a proper pencil for working on site. For such a low investment you'll have a pretty heavy duty and reliable pencil that will last a long time. The fit on the clip is great, built in sharpener means you don't need to sharpen with a knife anymore and the extra lead inculded will last a long time.

These are by far the most superior pencils I’ve ever used at work. I’m a dry liner and they are perfect for the job easy to use and give a nice clear mark when needed.

Absolutely brilliant 'tool' but doesn't come with any spare leads as advertised above. I couldn't get a refund or seem to find a way to contact Amazon about this.

This pencil is super useful and has become one of those tools I reach for without thinking. The build quality feels excellent and it sits very comfortably in the hand giving good control when marking my materials. The extendable design is particularly useful for deep holes and awkward angles making it far more versatile than a normal pencil. One feature I appreciate a lot is the strong pocket grip. Once clipped into a pocket it stays there securely rather than constantly sliding out when moving around or somehow getting lost as they usually do. It sounds like a small detail but on a busy job it makes a real difference knowing your pencil is exactly where you left it rather than lost somewhere random. Overall I genuinely cannot fault it. The integrated sharpener is a thoughtful addition as well the design feels durable and it performs exactly as it should. It is one of those simple but well thought out tools that makes everyday work easier and for that reason it easily earns five stars for me!

I use this every day, my work involves installation of electrical equipment and panels and this little pencil has been invaluable. Pros - great quality - holder is nice - sharpener in the holder is great Cons - slightly expensive for what it is

I use this for work. Yeah, it's a fancy pencil and a standard pencil would still do the job, but it's convenient and easy to use. Would I buy another, yes I would (and have).

Amazing tool, after trying so many different sharpies etc i finally understand why everyone got this hanging from the pocket

First pencil of this kind that I have used that work i.e. The lead does not disappear into the pencil when you write with it. So far - have to ser what happens in the long run.

Très pratique pour la construction
