This grade holds a sharp edge longer than a standard HB pencil and produces clean lines on rough surfaces such as sawn timber, brick and stone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I use this pencil on brick and stone, or just wood?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nYes. The hard lead is designed to mark on timber, brick, block, concrete, stone and plasterboard, making it suitable for almost every trade on site.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do I sharpen a carpenters pencil?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nYou can sharpen it with a sharp utility knife by gently shaving the wood back to expose the lead, or use a dedicated carpenters pencil sharpener. A standard pencil sharpener will not fit due to the flat shape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill the pencil roll off my workbench or scaffold?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nNo. The flat oval profile is specifically designed to stop the pencil rolling, which is one of the main reasons tradespeople prefer this style over a round pencil.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this pencil suitable for professional use?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nAbsolutely.
