Pica 3030/SB Dry Longlife Automatic Pen (2 Pack)

I’ve used many mechanical pencils for carpentry and welding work over the years and none have really caught my interest. The Pica is very good. The holder stays attached to your pocket or tool pouch, so using the pencil is easy. The sharpener on the holder works great. It marks on wet wood. The graphites hold up well and don’t break. I’m very happy with this pencil and would recommend this for trade workers.

I love these PICA DRY mechanical pencils! After having bought and then returned a set of the Hi-boom mechanical pencils. I finally ordered what I should have known to be the only mechanical pencil I would need.The feel of this pencil is quite a bit heavier than the alternatives, additionally the PICA DRY pencils clip case is super sturdy. The carrier even feels substantial, so does the body of the pencil. With its long steel tip for marking through deep holes being the shining exemplar of this kind of pencil.This pencil advances the lead only 2mm per click on the to button. Which means you'll go through less lead with each click, and you'll also know precisely how much lead you're using. The built in sharpener on the clip body works very well with little waste of lead when sharpening it to a needle like point. The shavings are almost as fine as the chocolate curls one might find on a dessert. Please don't eat the lead shavings.The company has made a couple of minor revisions to the original design of this pencil. The original pencil had two little nubs to act as locking points when it was holstered. The new version, has a solid ring around the barrel in the same spot, which act as a dust and water blocker to keep the barrel of the pencil clean and dry during use in most environments.If you don't like the flimsy feel of the other brands of mechanical pencils on the market, then this is the pencil for you! This pencil feel substantial, but, not so much as to be problematic. You won't get tired when carrying it around with you, but, you may get irritated when you got to reach for it and it isn't there to be used.I liked this pencil so much based upon the original design, that when I saw the two pack offering of this pencil, I picked it up immediately! One for myself and one for my Partner, who loves it also.Thank you Amazon and PICA for making me get excited over a pencil of all things for God's sake!

I've used PICA dry pens in the past and really like them. I particularly like the yellow and red refills for use on dark stock like Walnut or Peruvian Walnut. The easy removal with a damp paper towel is also a plus. They are convenient and definitely worth every penny. I believe no workshop should be without them

I have used these pencils for carpentry, industrial maintenance, and general use. The lead is sturdy and the pencil barrel offers good support. The narrow barrel works well for marking in holes. The clip-on pencil holder with sharpener means can use this pencil on any job. Can choose from varying hardness leads for finer or broader, darker lines. Leads are also available in various colors to cover a variety of marking needs. Overall very happy with these pencils.

so far, so good. Might be a bit large for small hands, but works well for me.

Easy storage. Never slips. Right there for you to grab quickly. Doesn’t slip out.

It’s a mechanical pencil, it does what those things do. HOWEVER, it’s got a reasonably long “snout” covering the lead, so it’s far easier to make markings into holes where there’s a bit of a gap to reach through. The “holster” has a somewhat triangular profile, so it won’t go rolling all over creation when the surface isn’t level. (To be honest, I wish the pencil itself was a bit more triangular, though to make it so might well effect the comfort of the grip.) Very much appreciate the many colors of waxy lead available and the sharpener in the holster as well. A bit pricey, but worth it — this pair is probably my 5th and 6th.

Who knew a pencil would get so much attention. I saw a contractor use this, then decided to try for myself. I just used for 4 days building an outdoor shower and used this pencil to mark wood, vinyl, pex, etc. Easy to use, sharpener is built into case. Probably would be good to have an eraser, but no big deal. I clipped the case into my front pant pocket and the pencil was in and out many times with ease. This came with 2 and I gave 1 to my son in law. I will probably buy another pack.

My husband is a contractor and was given this pencil by an electrician. He loved it and made me find them on here and order him more!

Antes de comprarlo revisé varios comentarios y endedores y, la mayor "queja" era que en la publicación ponian un modelo y recibían otro (mismo producto, misma calidad, misma funcionalidad, solo disitnto modelo), así que me decidí a comprarlo y recibí justo lo que estaba publicado, estoy 100% satisfecho, el precio fue inmejorable y bueno, la marca alemana Pica por sí sola ya es una garantía!!! Adicional a que lo recibí antes de esperado, el seguimiento a la entrega fue impecable.

Muy buen producto, muy eficiente y útil

Good product just don’t use the red graphite in the rain it turns to mush and then solidified in my pencil
