Description
The world’s best-known carpenter pencil. The Dixon Carpenter Pencil (model 14100) lays down a long-lasting, smooth, rich black mark on lumber, drywall, OSB, and most rough surfaces. Flat hex shape sits in your apron pocket without rolling off the stud, and the bright red body is easy to spot in the sawdust. Medium-grade graphite core — the standard a few generations of carpenters have already trusted.
Why It’s the Standard
- Long-lasting black mark: Medium graphite lays down a rich, readable line that holds up through cuts, lifts, and weather
- Flat anti-roll body: Sits where you set it — on the bench, the rafter, the table saw fence
- Bright red finish: Easy to spot in a tool pouch, on a dusty deck, or in a pile of cut-offs
- Easy to sharpen: Wood barrel sharpens with a utility knife, chisel, or any standard sharpener
- Medium hardness: The all-around grade — dark enough on rough lumber, fine enough for layout marks on smoother stock
- Individually barcoded: Single-pencil retail-ready
- PMA Certified: Non-toxic, made in the USA
Use Cases
Layout marks on lumber and OSB, framing dimensions, trim and cabinet scribing, drywall layout, masonry callouts, packaging marks, log and timber notations, plumbing rough-in dimensions, electrical box positions, fastener locations, equipment tagging.
