With it’s slim lead graphite it is great for marking and so easy to re-sharpen. So ideal when using the multitude of marking jogs now available which have small holes for accuracy. I used to use my old technical drawing pencil until I lost it. Can’t lose this in green. Wish I had one years ago though the replacement leads and colours aren’t cheap.

I don't want to have to carry a pencil sharpener around (or just keep losing them) so was using a regular mechanical pencil. Gets annoying when the thin lead keeps snapping. I was sceptical buying this thinking its just an expensive pencil but the thicker, harder lead means it doesn't snap. You can sharpen the lead (with the built in sharpener) to a really fine point so still get the accuracy of a mechanical pencil. The holder makes it harder to lose. and it stays put. Only change I would like to see is the addition of a rubber.

As a tradesman l have many pencils and when I need one I cant find it or I can see 5 of them around the room on window ledges or next to my saw from my position on a hop up holding a tape or a level or a bathroom cabinet.. So not only do you naturally put this tool in its holder clipped to you clothing it is always sharp will reach through any pre drilled hole and always there. The price is inconsequential compared to the perfection of design for the job and that it Mark's tiles wood laminate surfaces etc within 1mm accuracy all days and is effectively fixed clipped securely and accessible on the front of your body.. just brilliant.

Really impressed with the quality and practicality of the Pica pencil. I would recommend the 4050 extra hard lead refills they give a very fine line and don't require sharpening so much. The holster with the sharpener works well and I always know where my pencil is.

There are few things that every trades person or diyer should own, but this is one of them, it is what you need, where you need it (convenient belt attached holder) every time, good quality lead, clear markings, deep narrow holes no problem. Make your life easier stop the pencil hunt and buy a pica.
