Product description
This set of carpenter pencils and markers is built for tradespeople who need reliable marks in awkward spots and on varied surfaces. The Nicpro CP1000 pack combines three mechanical carpenter pencils with a range of refill colours and long-nib deep hole markers, helping you mark timber, metal, plastic and concrete with less hassle and greater visibility.
Key Points
The pack includes three carpenter pencils plus 39 refills in six colours, three long-head deep hole markers in three colours, one replaceable sharpener screwed into a pencil top, a 4B eraser and a plastic storage box. The elongated 45 mm tip on the deep hole markers reaches into narrow gaps and drilled holes where standard pencils struggle, which can reduce time spent juggling tools on site. The pencil bodies feature an ergonomic, non-slip grip and a pocket clip for easy carry. According to the manufacturer, the 2.8 mm coloured leads are thicker than standard leads and resist breakage while producing clear lines on rough and smooth materials.
Technical Specifications
Name: Nicpro CP1000 3 Pack carpenter pencil set
- Lead thickness: - 2.8 mm refills.
- Refill quantity: - 39 pieces in six colours.
- Marker tip length: - 45 mm elongated nib for deep holes.
- Extras included: - replaceable sharpener, 4B eraser, plastic storage box.
Advantages
The thicker 2.8 mm leads mean fewer breaks and steadier lines when scribing on uneven surfaces, which is useful during framing, cabinetry and general construction tasks. The inclusion of multiple refill colours allows colour-coding of measurements or notes, making task organisation simpler on busy sites. The waterproof and quick-drying deep hole markers allow marking on non-porous surfaces where graphite might not show, so traces stay visible even in damp conditions. Additionally, the built-in sharpener attached to the pencil reduces the chance of losing small accessories and keeps points consistent for fine work.
Usage Recommendations
Use the carpenter pencils for general layout work, rough marking and transfer lines on timber and plasterboard. For confined spaces such as dowel holes or inside fixtures, the deep hole marker is the preferred tool because of its extended nib and resilient fibre tip. When working on metal or plastic, test the marker colour first as brightness and adhesion vary with surface finish. Consider carrying additional refills in the storage box so you can swap colours quickly during different stages of a project.
Note that the ergonomic grip improves control but does not eliminate the need for careful technique when marking precise joinery. Also, while the 2.8 mm leads are robust, they will wear faster under heavy scoring use, so keep spare refills to maintain consistent line quality.
