Carpenter's pencil PICA MARKER Pica Pocket 24 cm model 505/01

PICA MARKER Pica Pocket carpenter's pencil model 505/01 is a 24 cm marking tool designed for woodworking and construction. Its flattened body prevents rolling on work surfaces and provides a stable grip, while the durable lead produces clear, long-lasting marks on wood, plaster and other common building materials. The compact shape is convenient for pocket carry and quick access on job sites, making it suitable for tradespeople and DIY users who need reliable, precise marking during measuring and layout tasks.

Advantages

The pencil's 24 cm length gives extended reach for marking across wider boards while remaining easy to carry. The flat, rectangular profile reduces rolling and helps guide straight lines. The robust lead resists breakage under light pressure and offers consistent visibility on both rough and smooth surfaces. The compact pocket-friendly design allows convenient transport and immediate availability when working at construction sites or in workshops.

Suitable for

• Marking dimensions and cut lines on timber and boards
• Layout and alignment work in carpentry and joinery
• Quick marks on plaster, drywall, concrete and masonry surfaces
• On-site measuring and sketching for builders, carpenters and handymen

Key specifications

• Overall length: 24 cm
• Flat, non-rolling body profile for stability
• Durable marking lead suitable for wood and common building surfaces
• Compact, pocket-friendly design for easy carry
• Suitable for manual sharpening with a sharpener or knife to create chisel or point edges

How to use

Use the pencil to mark cut lines, reference points and layout guides directly on the workpiece. Sharpen the lead as needed to achieve a fine point for precise lines or a chisel-shaped edge for broader marks. Hold the flat body between thumb and fingers to maintain alignment and prevent rolling while drawing. For best results on dusty or very smooth surfaces, wipe the area before marking and apply steady, even pressure to produce a consistent visible line.

Usage recommendations

Store the pencil in a pocket or tool pouch when not in use to keep it accessible and reduce the risk of damage. Use a suitable pencil sharpener or a utility knife with care to shape the lead to the required thickness. Replace the pencil when the lead becomes too short or worn for reliable marking.
