I got into woodworking a couple of years ago and have always used standard #2 pencils. For larger projects, this worked fine, but for smaller projects, the offset between the lead and the body of the pencil made it difficult to get a thin and consistent line, especially after multiple markings. I switched to a standard mechanical pencil with 0.7mm lead. Those pencils are woefully inadequate for the kind of work I was doing. That's when I remembered using this pencil in drafting class. This thing is a workhorse in my shop and produces a thin, dark, consistent line every time. I love the weight and durability. It has not left my shop apron since!
