MODECO MN-88-015 carpenter's pencil, 180 mm in length and sold in a pack of 12, is designed for marking in woodworking, construction and general DIY tasks. The flat-profile body prevents rolling on inclined surfaces and provides a stable grip for straight, controlled lines. The lead produces clear, durable marks on wood, drywall, concrete and other common building materials, making it suitable for layout, cutting lines and measurements.
Advantages
The flat, elongated shape keeps the pencil from rolling and makes it easy to position on edges and templates. A sturdy lacquered wooden body resists splitting during normal use and offers comfortable handling during extended work. The carrier lead delivers high-contrast marks that remain visible under dust and on rough surfaces, improving accuracy when transferring measurements and cutting guides.

How to use
Use the flat edge of the pencil to draw clear straight lines along rulers, straightedges or directly on workpieces. Sharpen with a carpenter's knife or a manual sharpener designed for flat pencils to maintain the desired line thickness. Apply moderate pressure to produce darker marks; for faint layout lines use lighter strokes. Store the pencils flat or in a case to prevent damage to the sharpened tip.
Usage recommendations
For consistent marking, keep a small sanding block or cloth nearby to remove excess dust from rough surfaces before marking and re-sharpen the pencil regularly to maintain precise line width. When marking delicate finishes, test on a scrap piece to verify visibility and removability.
