I guess I could call my new purchase a tool. You need pencils to get a job done.
I keep trying to find some decent wood pencils that don't constantly break the lead. I have some carpenter pencils and they are fine some of the time but not to making smaller marks, atleast for me. I saw these at Menard's yesterday and started to look at them when I saw they came with a sharpener. Great another sharpener that doesn't work. Then I noticed it fits in an impact driver. . . . I gotta try these.
Verdict, I sharpened one yesterday, used it without breaking a lead or resharpening it. So far, I'm happy. Pencils are US but the yellow thingy is China.
