Carpenter's pencil YATO YT-69940 — blue and red writing leads, pack with blue and red pencils

The YATO YT-69940 carpenter's pencil set contains flat-profile pencils in blue and red writing leads designed for marking on wood, drywall and other construction materials. The contrasting colours make lines highly visible on different surfaces while the flat shape prevents rolling on workbenches and angled surfaces. This set is intended to support accurate layout, cutting and alignment tasks in carpentry and general building work.

Advantages

Flat-profile body ensures stable placement and consistent line width. Blue and red leads provide clear, contrasting marks for different materials and purposes, facilitating quick visual distinction between measurements or reference lines. Durable core resists breakage during normal use and sharpening, and the wooden casing offers comfortable handling for repetitive marking tasks.

Suitable for

• Carpentry and joinery layout and marking
• Woodworking shop measurements
• Drywall and plasterboard marking
• On-site construction marking and colour-coded layout

Key specifications

• Two-colour set: blue and red writing leads
• Flat, rectangular pencil profile to prevent rolling
• Suitable for marking on wood, drywall and common construction materials
• Wooden casing for traditional sharpening and ergonomic grip

How to use

Select the colour appropriate for your marking task and sharpen the flat-edge pencil to expose a short, strong length of lead. Hold the pencil flat against the workpiece to produce consistent wide lines; angle slightly for thinner lines. Use the contrasting colours to differentiate cut lines, reference marks or phases of work. Replace or resharpen the pencil as needed to maintain clean, visible marks.

Usage recommendations

Use the blue lead for general layout and the red lead for cut or alignment indicators to maintain a clear, colour-coded marking system. Store pencils flat to preserve the profile and prevent accidental damage to the leads. For precise work, sharpen carefully and test markings on scrap material before making final marks on the workpiece.
