Swanson Tool Co Mechanical Carpenter Pencil features a refillable graphite tip that eliminates sharpening. These refillable graphite tips last five times longer than traditional carpentry pencils, so you spend less time away from work. Plus, they’re always the same length and easily fit in your pocket, so they’ll never get lost in your tool pocket again.

Moreover, this carpenter’s mechanical pencil from Swanson Tool Co is an ideal choice if you don’t want a mess every time you need to re-sharpen your pencil. However, instead of wood, the pencil uses a plastic base and a graphite tip that can be removed and replaced if the previous information wears out.

"These work as advertised. The tips stack down the center so if one gets short or dull you can replace with another. There is a lot of plastic in the pencil and lead carriers so it's not really environmental. They do what they say they do."
