It always maintains its length, so it won’t get lost in your tool pouch. The graphite tip will also last 5 times longer since there is no waste due to sharpening. From the Manufacturer The always sharp refillable carpenter pencils are very handy. The pencil never has to be sharpened. It always maintains its length so it won't get lost in your tool pouch. The lead will also last 5-times longer since there is no waste due to sharpening ## Features - AlwaysSharp: The graphite tip never has to be sharpened. The pencil maintains its length, so it doesn’t get lost in a tool pouch the way a worn-down carpenter pencil does. - 8 Refill Cartridges Included: Every 2-pack ships with 8 replacement graphite cartridges. Slide a fresh tip in when the old one wears, no sharpener, no scrap shavings on the work. - Graphite Tip Lasts 5X Longer: The graphite tip lasts 5 times longer than a sharpened carpenter pencil since there is no waste due to sharpening. - Full-Length Every Draw: The pencil body stays the length it shipped at, so the balance point never moves. A worn-down carpenter pencil rides shorter in the hand every week; this one draws the same on day 300 as day 1. - Cartridge Load, Not Shavings: Refills load from the barrel like a mechanical pencil, no knife, no utility blade, no shavings on the drywall. The 8-count tray reloads the pencil roughly 8 times over the life of the pack. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000FLP9MS | | Additional Features | Lightweight, Pocket Clip, Refillable | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Best Sellers Rank | #158,559 in Tools & Home Improvement ( See Top 100 in Tools & Home Improvement ) #152 in Scriber Marking Tools | | Body Shape | Round | | Brand Name | Swanson | | Closure Type | Twist | | Color | Blue | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (3,607) | | Drill Point | Chisel | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00038987002168 | | Grip Type | thumb grip | | Hand Orientation | Ambidextrous | | Hardness | HB | | Included Components | Swanson Tool Co CP216 AlwaysSharp Refillable Mechanical Carpenter Pencil, Two Pack, with 8 More Replacement Black Graphite Tips | | Ink Color | Graphite Black | | Item Dimensions | 0.5 x 3.88 x 9.38 inches | | Item Type Name | Swanson Tool Co CP216 AlwaysSharp Refillable Mechanical Carpenter Pencil, Two Pack, with 8 More Replacement Black Graphite Tips | | Item Weight | 2.08 ounces | | Line Size | 0.3mm | | Manufacturer | Swanson Tool | | Material Type | Plastic and graphite | | Model Name | Swanson Tool Co CP216 AlwaysSharp Refillable Mechanical Carpenter Pencil, Two Pack, with 8 More Replacement Black Graphite Tips | | Model Number | CP216 | | Recommended Uses For Product | Carpentry | | Style | 2 pack pencils | | UPC | 038987002168 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Warranty Description | Warranty | | Writing Instrument Form | Graphite Pencil | | Writing Technique | Pencil Lead | ## Product Details - **Age Range (Description):** Adult - **Brand:** Swanson - **Color:** Blue - **Ink Color:** Graphite Black - **Writing Instrument Form:** Graphite Pencil ## Images ![Swanson AlwaysSharp® Refillable Carpenter Pencil, 2 Pack, 8 Refills (CP216) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71EkCmB1zzL.jpg) ![Swanson AlwaysSharp® Refillable Carpenter Pencil, 2 Pack, 8 Refills (CP216) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/31njRgTLJQL.jpg) ![Swanson AlwaysSharp® Refillable Carpenter Pencil, 2 Pack, 8 Refills (CP216) - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41dnGrNAsnL.jpg) ![Swanson AlwaysSharp® Refillable Carpenter Pencil, 2 Pack, 8 Refills (CP216) - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/31r1-1w6O3L.jpg) ![Swanson AlwaysSharp® Refillable Carpenter Pencil, 2 Pack, 8 Refills (CP216) - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/21i4+DfxrQL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size, Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Pkg comes with two pencils and 8 refills, but do the pencils have refills loaded in them already? if so, how many refills come inside of each pencil.?** A: Hi Pop, Great question! Each package includes 2 pencils, and each pencil comes with 8 cartridges pre-loaded inside, with the 8 additional cartridges you can see in the package. So when you purchase one unit of CP216, you'll find it includes a total of 24 tips in all. To refill your pencil, the cartridges load individually from the top and you pull it out at the bottom. Hope that helps! The Swanson Team **Q: What is the hardness of the graphite?** A: Hi James, It's less than one on the Mohs scale. Hope that helps! The Swanson Team **Q: The description says the pencils are "0.4 x 9.5 x 3.5 inches" 3.5 inches seems wide. Is each pencil 3.5" or is the package 3.5"?** A: Hi there, We received this question twice from Amazon, so we're going to answer both since we don't know which one you'll check first - and we just want to get your question answered. Those dimensions reference our CP216 in it's packaging. The individual pencils measure 7 and 7/8ths" long by ~13/16ths" by 1/2" If that doesn't properly answer your question, please feel free to call our customer service line for more info: 815-469-9453 Thanks! The Swanson Team **Q: Is there some way to keep the tip from being so wobbly?** A: Hi Mike, This is an interesting question! There are 2 possible solutions: 1) you need to “start over” with a new tip that doesn’t get pushed out too far. Simply remove the replacement tip, pop off the cap, and push that replacement tip into the pencil just far enough so the next tip comes out. If you click on the video on the AlwaysSharp’s product page, you’ll see at the end of the video that swapping out tips is pretty easy. Or 2) the actual graphite tip itself has come loose. Try giving it a little nudge to make sure it’s securely in place within the plastic part of the tip. Hope that helps!
