Carpenter Pencil GEKO G29010 — 245 mm HB, tube pack 55 pcs (box 550)

GEKO G29010 carpenter pencil, 245 mm in length with HB lead, is designed for marking on wood and common construction materials where a flat, robust pencil is preferred. The elongated, flattened body ensures stable grip and prevents the pencil from rolling on inclined surfaces. Supplied in tube packs of 55 pieces and carton boxes of 550, this pencil is intended for craftsmen and jobsite use that requires clear, visible lines and straightforward sharpening into a chisel or point shape.

Advantages

The flat wooden body provides consistent control for straight and angled lines while resisting breakage under moderate pressure. HB core offers a balance between darkness and hardness for marks that remain visible during cutting, sawing, or measuring. The 245 mm length gives extended reach and room for repeated sharpening. Packaging in tubes and boxes supports convenient storage and distribution for workshops or construction sites.

Suitable for

• Carpentry and joinery marking on timber and boards
• On-site construction marking where durable marks are needed
• Woodworking layouts, cutting and sawing guides
• General workshop use and professional craft tasks

How to use

Hold the flattened pencil so the broad face rests against the work surface for straight, controlled lines or rotate the pencil to use the narrow edge for finer lines. Sharpen the core by whittling with a knife or using a carpenter pencil sharpener to create a chisel or point shape, depending on the required mark width. Use moderate pressure to avoid breaking the core and re-sharpen as needed for clear, precise markings.

Usage recommendations

Store pencils in their tubes or the original box in a dry place to prevent wood swelling. For repetitive marking tasks, prepare several pencils sharpened to different widths to save time. When working on finished or delicate surfaces, test the pencil on a scrap piece to ensure the mark can be removed or will not damage the finish.
