I'm a serial DIYer, but spend most of my time pencil hunting. I swear I put it behind my ear... That was until I got my Tracer pencil. Gone are the days of vanishing pencils. It now sits proudly in one of the screwdriver loops of my work trousers. Simple to grab whenever I need it, and easy to remember to return it to it's holster. Apart from now knowing exactly where it is at all times, this is also a great pencil. It doesn't blunt too quickly, and is easy to quickly sharpen with the built in sharpener on the holster. It's not the cheapest, but I'd say you definitely get what you pay for. It's a well thought out design, and good quality. Just a word of warning, if you're using it to mark a deep hole, you need to be extra careful. The lead will be fully extracted, and although it's probably stronger than the average pencil lead, it is still brittle, and will snap with any lateral pressure. Overall, though, this is one of my favourite additions to my toolkit. It's simple and unsexy, but has saved me so much time now I don't have to play hide and seek with my pencil. Review: Absolute Must! - I don't know why I waited so long to buy a proper pencil for working on site. For such a low investment you'll have a pretty heavy duty and reliable pencil that will last a long time. The fit on the clip is great, built in sharpener means you don't need to sharpen with a knife anymore and the extra lead inculded will last a long time. ## Features - ALL-PURPOSE MARKING SOLUTION: This mechanical construction pencil creates clear, precise marks on wood, metal, plastic, and ceramics; perfect contractor pencil for any carpentry project requiring accurate carpenter tools - RUGGED METAL DESIGN FOR TOUGH JOBS: Built to last through demanding work; this heavy duty mechanical pencil features durable construction and pairs with the Tracer Pencil Pro Site Holder and carpenter pencil sharpener for reliable performance on every framing task - DEEP HOLE MARKING CAPABILITY: Equipped with extendable 2.8mm lead that reaches depths of up to 145mm; ideal woodworking pencil for marking drill holes, small gaps, and tight spaces other construction marking tools cannot access - BUILT IN PENCIL SHARPENER: Keep your scriber marking tools sharp and ready with the built-in sharpener seamlessly included in the accompanying Tracer Site Holder; no need for separate wood shop accessories or tools - CARPENTERS PENCIL SITE HOLSTER: Never misplace your drafting pencil again; the Tracer Site Holder with shirt and belt clip keeps this essential carpentry tool within reach, saving time and frustration for contractors ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B089PCTSNJ | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Age range (description) | Adult | | Best Sellers Rank | 182 in DIY & Tools ( See Top 100 in DIY & Tools ) 1 in Carpenters Pencils | | Body Shape | Rectangular | | Brand | Tracer | | Brand Name | Tracer | | Closure Type | Retractable | | Colour | Clear | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 5,333 Reviews | | Drill Point | Chisel | | Grip Type | Ribbed | | Hardness | B | | Included Components | 1 x Tracer ADP2 DEEP Hole Construction Pencil with SITE Holster | | Ink Base | Water | | Ink Colour | Gray | | Ink colour | Gray | | Is the Product Left or Right Handed? | Ambidextrous | | Item Dimensions | 19.6 x 1.8 x 6.9 centimetres | | Item Type Name | TRACER Deep Hole Construction Fully Extendable Lead Pencil - Site Holster, Inbuilt Pencil Sharpener - Marks On Wood, Plastic, Ceramics and Metal | | Line Size | 2mm_and_above | | Manufacturer | TRACER | | Material | Metal | | Material Type | Metal | | Model Name | ADP2 | | Model Number | ADP2 | | Product Warranty | 1 | | Recommended Uses For Product | Carpentry | | Special Features | Pocket Clip | | Style | Single | | Theme | Woodworking, carpentry, construction crafts | | UPC | 748079735026 | | Unit Count | 1.0 count | | Water Resistance Level | Not Water Resistant | | Writing Instrument Form | Graphite Pencil | | Writing Technique | Pencil Lead | | Writing instrument form | Graphite Pencil | ## Product Details - **Age range (description):** Adult - **Brand:** Tracer - **Colour:** Clear - **Ink colour:** Gray - **Material:** Metal - **Model name:** ADP2 - **Point type:** Chisel - **Special feature:** Pocket Clip - **Unit count:** 1.0 count - **Writing instrument form:** Graphite Pencil ## Images ![Tracer 2.8mm Deep Hole Carpenter Pencil | Construction Work Pencil - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61zC2jvsSLL.jpg) ![Tracer 2.8mm Deep Hole Carpenter Pencil | Construction Work Pencil - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71f9l7TmBbL.jpg) ![Tracer 2.8mm Deep Hole Carpenter Pencil | Construction Work Pencil - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71aakml0R0L.jpg) ![Tracer 2.8mm Deep Hole Carpenter Pencil | Construction Work Pencil - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81uExFj4LiL.jpg) ![Tracer 2.8mm Deep Hole Carpenter Pencil | Construction Work Pencil - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71sseVUIAFL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Who is the TRACER Pencil suitable for?** A: The TRACER Deep Hole Pencil was designed for professionals and is suitable for Carpenters, Joiners, Kitchen Fitters, and overall DIY Enthusiasts alike. **Q: Is it strong enough to last on the worksite?** A: Yes - the Pencil and Dispenser were both designed to withstand the wear & tear of the worksite **Q: Can I purchase the Replacement Leads separately when I need them?** A: Yes - The TRACER Lead Dispenser with Replacement Leads is available to purchase separately ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ No more pencil hunting *by M***T on 10 July 2025* If you're anything like me, you can never find your pencil.
