Marks on wet lumber where pencils quit
Regular pencils skate on wet treated lumber and OSB. This carpenter pencil lays down a visible line on damp stock, sits flat where I set it without rolling into the mud, and sharpens with a utility knife in seconds.

Survives the form-setting environment
Marking form lumber means dust, moisture, and rough handling. The flat body rides behind my ear all day, the lead is hard enough not to snap when scribing against a form edge, and the line stays visible through dust.

Better than the pencil jar for shop work
Marks plywood cleanly and the wide lead survives being dragged along a straightedge without breaking. Learning to sharpen the flat lead with a knife takes one or two tries. Won't go back to round pencils for shop marking.
