Pica Dry Longlife Deep Hole Marker

Great design allows for the accurate marking of surfaces through drill holes of 2 plus inches; its thick lead, 2.8mm, makes it less liable to break and more suitable for marking rough surfaces however its built-in lead sharpener allows you to maintain a sharp point for precise marking on smooth surfaces; its cleverly designed clip means it will never accidentally fall out of your pocket; its bright green colour makes it stand out on a workbench; its body feels nice and thick in your hand and of course it is German engineered making it a quality tool.

After wasting my money on cheaper deep hole markers [despite screwing them on securely, the sharpener caps came loose and dropped off to be lost forever and the loading mechanisms failed, rendering them useless] I came a across a review that mentioned PICA as a better alternative. As a professional tradesperson, I use marking tools all day and, after a few months use, I am WELL impressed by this! The scabbard-type holder stays put in the elasticated loop on a small tool-pouch on my work trouser belt - never dropped out yet. The pencil fits snugly into the scabbard so doesn't drop out, but is easy to remove with finger and thumb. The feed mechanism is solid and well made. The leads take a good, sharp point from the sharpener in the tip of the scabbard [no cap to come loose and be lost!] enable accurate marking, but the unsharpened lead is thick & tough enough to use for rough marking on plaster, brick etc. All in all, a very well made and solid piece of kit. My only regret is I didn't discover it years ago!

I work as a gas engineer installing heating systems and I would say for my line of work this pencil is perfect. I’ve listed a few reasons below. Previously I would go through a pen or pencil every few days due to it falling out of my pocket and breaking or misplacing it. However the holder for the pica has prevented this from happening as it clips securely onto my trousers and the bright green makes it easy to notice if misplaced. I would often have to swap between various pens and pencils as they struggled to mark brick, tile and marble. I haven’t found a material the pica can’t mark. The pica is also handy for marking in small holes due to how thin the tips is and the ability to extend the lead to reach into deep holes. I’ve had the pica with me every day for the past 3 months and have yet to lose it or run out of lead, so while the price is a little steep at first It will pay for its self in time through saved pens/pencils and usefulness.

Just get my pen, open to check and found out that end bit (sharp) missing. Sad. But as the product seems good.

Love this pencil, so much better than the tracer. It doesn't randomly jump out of the holder, even after 6 months of daily use. I've spent more on lost tracers wish I hadn't been so tight to start with

I’ve been using tracer pencils for years on site and always just accepted their limitations — constantly snapping leads, awkward sharpening, and generally feeling a bit flimsy. This Pica Pencil 3030 is on a completely different level. Yes, it’s more expensive upfront, but it’s genuinely better value in the long run. It just works. The build quality is solid, the mechanism is smooth, and it feels like a proper professional tool rather than something disposable. The sharpener is also miles better than the one you get with tracer pencils. It actually gives you a clean, usable point without chewing through the lead, which makes a big difference when you’re marking accurately. Another small thing I didn’t expect to matter as much — the colour. It’s bright, easy to spot, and I misplace it far less than any of my old pencils. Sounds minor, but on a busy job it saves time and frustration. Overall, once you use one of these, it’s hard to go back. If you’re still using tracer pencils, this will feel like a serious upgrade.

Use it everyday at the workshop and I love them. Lost my old one I had for 5 years so I bought a new one. Last for ages. Also the different colors you can buy in are a nice bonus.

I've got about eight of these spread about in all my different tool kits. I just find them the perfect design for a pencil when you're onsite. The leads aren't too brittle, you can sharpen them for more accuracy - though for precise work you may need something finer, You can mark deep holes. If you get used to putting it back in it's sheath You'll always know where it is. I've still got the very first one I bought 4 years ago - I've never lost or broken one yet. I've tried other similar designs but I seem to keep coming back to the Pica. The newer versions have mostly aesthetic improvements but they do seem to work a bit smoother, they seem to grip the lead a bit tighter and they are more secure in the sheath. Other than that they are the same great design.

Als iemand die vaak met verschillende materialen werkt, kan ik met zekerheid zeggen dat deze marker een echte must-have is. Wat me meteen opviel, is de uitstekende kwaliteit van de inkt.

Of ik nu op papier, hout of een andere ondergrond schrijf, de inkt blijft goed zitten en vervaagt niet snel, wat het ideaal maakt voor langdurig gebruik. De puntenslijper die bij de marker wordt geleverd is ook een geweldige toevoeging. Het stelt me in staat om de punt van de marker gemakkelijk aan te passen voor een fijne of bredere lijn, afhankelijk van wat ik nodig heb. Dit maakt de marker uiterst veelzijdig en handig voor verschillende toepassingen, van het maken van notities tot het creëren van gedetailleerde tekeningen. Daarnaast vind ik het duurzame ontwerp van de Pica-marker geweldig. Het materiaal voelt stevig aan, en het idee dat ik een product gebruik dat lang meegaat, geeft me extra tevredenheid. Het is fijn om te weten dat ik minder vaak nieuwe markers hoef aan te schaffen, wat ook nog eens beter is voor het milieu. De ergonomische grip is een ander pluspunt. De marker ligt comfortabel in de hand, waardoor ik langere tijd kan schrijven of tekenen zonder last van vermoeidheid. Dit is vooral belangrijk voor projecten die wat meer tijd in beslag nemen.
