What is a "carpenter pencil"?
A carpenter pencil is a tool used by carpenters and builders for marking measurements, cutting lines, and measurements on wood and other construction materials. It has a flat, rectangular shape, which prevents it from rolling away when placed on surfaces. Carpenter pencils typically have a thick, durable lead that can create visible marks on rough surfaces. The lead is often softer than regular pencils, allowing for clear markings that do not easily fade. These pencils are essential in construction and woodworking, providing precise lines for accurate cutting, joining, and fitting of materials.
