Carpenters Pencil Sharpeners | 2Pc

The Carpenters Pencil Sharpeners in this 2-piece set are a must-have for any carpenter, builder, or DIY enthusiast. Standard pencil sharpeners and knives are ill-suited for the unique rectangular shape of a carpenter’s pencil, but this specialised tool solves that problem. With a sharp, precisely angled blade, it quickly and cleanly sharpens the pencil to a perfect chisel point, allowing you to make both broad, dark lines for marking lumber and fine, precise lines for detailed work. The durable plastic body is built to withstand the rigours of a workshop or job site, and the pack of two ensures you always have a spare on hand.

Steps to Follow For Using the Carpenters’ Pencil Sharpeners

Preparation:

1. Choose a Sharpener: Select one of the two sharpeners from the pack.
2. Safety First: Ensure you are holding the sharpener and pencil firmly and are not sharpening over a sensitive surface.

Sharpening:

1. Insert Pencil: Insert the flat, rectangular lead of the carpenter’s pencil into the opening of the sharpener.
2. Rotate: Gently rotate the pencil while pushing it into the sharpener. The sharpener’s blade will shave the wood and graphite, creating a chisel point.

4. Repeat: Continue rotating and pushing until the pencil is sharpened to your liking.
