Carpenter Pencil

The carpenter pencil is the marking tool every tile and flooring job needs for laying out cuts, lines, and reference marks. Its flat body resists rolling off the workbench, and the wide, tough lead writes clearly on tile backer, wood, drywall, and concrete without snapping.

Use it to mark cut lines on backer board, trace layout lines on the subfloor, and note measurements as you work. Sharpen it with a utility knife to a chisel point for fine lines or a broad tip for bold marks. It holds up to the grit and moisture of a real job site.

Pros go through these by the box. Tile Outlets keeps them on the shelf so you always have one behind your ear.
