Carpenter's pencil
Term · Industrial and trades · MLC-T-IND-000968
A specialized pencil with a flat, rectangular lead and barrel, designed for marking rough lumber and other construction materials. Its broad lead creates clear, visible lines that are less prone to breaking than standard pencil leads. The flat shape prevents it from rolling off surfaces easily.
