Best pencil I’ve used for many sodden things including deep hole marking
I recently purchased the TRACER Deep Hole Construction Pencil, and I can’t help but wonder why I didn’t make this decision sooner.
As someone who frequently undertakes DIY projects around the house, I’ve always struggled with keeping track of my pencils, which often get misplaced or go blunt at the most inconvenient times — especially when marking tougher materials like concrete or brick.
This pencil, with its cleverly designed holster, has been a complete game-changer. It’s not only easy to carry around without losing thanks to the site holster, but its durability and easily dispensed lead, make it indispensable – I will never go back to a standard pencil.
For anyone regularly involved in construction or even just frequent DIY tasks like myself, I can’t recommend this pencil enough. It simplifies your workflow and keeps frustration at bay
Pros – great having a holder for your pencil for efficiency. Good for rough marking
Cons – very soft lead means if you have lots of marking out to do it, gets blunt very quickly. So I bought harder leads off Amazon. however, I also struggle to get the point nice and sharp using the built in sharpener.
Pros: Deep hole marking, retractable lead, sharpener on lid, fairly sturdy
Cons: Goes blunt very quickly, lead has snapped in multiple places after drop, would be good if the lid slipped over the pen when in use as it’s forever getting misplaced.
It’s a decent product but I’ve decided to order a good mechanical pencil for marking up as the lead quickly going blunt is a pain. Possibly my fault for expecting more from this product than it promises. If you mostly need it for deep hole marking then I’m sure it’ll be fine.
After sharpening a pencil to nothing this week I thought I’d take the plunge and spend eight quid on this. Great product and love the inbuilt Sharpener, ordered Another for. Friend with. A pack of refills of lead .
I really like the design and robust feel of this pencil. I also love the feature of having a sharpener built in to the holder, it’s a small detail but it’s been so helpful.
It’s as simple as they solve the age old problem of marking where to drill a wall when the hole is too deep for a pencil. Really impressed. Used it half a dozen times and has made life significantly easier every time. These are a no-brainer for anyone with this problem
If your on the tools or a DIYer then you need one of these and the refill pack. The leads last ages are very quickly sharpened and brilliant for mark down holes, inside things – just everything. I probably need to get a spare one just in case. I simply cant be without it.
I’ve been using these pencils a few years now and won’t go back to my usual pencils, and being a carpenter that now wears glasses my old pencil holder now hold my glasses.
These pencils sit perfectly in my snickers pocket and very easily accessible and I get into some strange shapes.
The only downside is after a while the mechanical part inside the pencil loses grip somehow and the lead slips in when trying to mark, although that’s after a long period of time normally.
One of the best investment I’ve made. Really good product, this is my second one to buy, as my old one the clip broke due to lending to someone, over stretched it and eventually broke. I will still recommend this product especially for electricians.
This pen is perfect for its role and does what it says on the tin.
I use this pen for everything, not just for deeper holes.
Lead does not break easily that I have noticed, dropped it several times and did not break the lead inside the tube.
