The new Husky Mechanical Carpenter Pencil is equipped with Dura Lead, which requires no sharpening. Dura Lead can be quickly shaped by rubbing it on a piece of sandpaper, concrete floor or any abrasive material. This allows the user to get closer to a speed square than with any other pencil.
The Husky pencil makes crisp, sharp lines right out of the packaging. The refillable pencil has a thick-bodied, high-impact ABS body to withstand job-site use. It is designed with as few parts as necessary to eliminate jamming due to sawdust, dirt and grime. The Dura Lead material, a mixture of clay and graphite, has medium density for smooth, dark lines on a wide variety of materials, including concrete. It is 18 percent thicker than the traditional carpenter pencil lead and lasts two to three times longer.
