CH Hanson Sharpdraw-HD Carpenter Pencil w/Refill

This is basically a pencil that works like a click box cutter. Always sharp, you’ll never need to sharpen a pencil again! And it has the same wide lead shape as a carpenter pencil, so it marks the same as one. The lead is tough and durable, I have not had it break. Well made considering that it is a simple pencil, retractable, has a pocket clip that’s removable, grips just like a box cutter, and is thin enough to tuck into your hat and not be a nuisance. It’s a great replacement for those 67 cent box store wooden pencils.

Love the constant thin line with no sharpening needed. Great product.

Flimsy ink Good idea

It's a nice pencil

The lead is great and seems to be really durable. lays down a great line. The problem is the body it is housed in is hot garbage. Doesn't have enough tension to stay open. As soon as you apply pressure to make your mark, the pencil lead slips back into the body. Looking for a Olfa style body with a turn knob to tension the blade. otherwise it's going to sit in the bottom of my toolbag collecting dust.

The pencil seems to work nicely, but I have yet to find any access to additional refills. I have tried to contact the CH Hanson company but no one will answer my inquiries. Having to buy another new mechanical pencil because it ran out of lead seems to be a bad arrangement.

As advertised

Pretty cool

Great for marking precise measurements. Needs a locking mechanism to stop the lead retracting. Not great for writing letters or numbers

Junk. The lead breaks easily. As soon as the lumber is wet, it won't make marks. They kind of wash away. I saw a video of a guy showing it off and thought, I'll try it. Well, I tried it and I put it back in the truck after about an hour of trying to use it. It's now in the garbage since the last time I cleaned out the truck. Absolutely not worth the time. (I'm a Contractor/Builder in BC, Canada)

I can't for the life of me figure out what this pencil is for. Broke instantly on the job site. (Framing) nothing special about it in woodworking either. You would almost always use a normal 2b pencil over this. I feel like I got scammed after watching a product demo that made this pencil look amazing. Useless product. If I could give it a 0 star review I would.
