Rite in the Rain Lead Holder Pencil Orange 5.6mm

The Rite in the Rain Lead Holder is a step up from a standard mechanical pencil for anyone doing serious fieldwork. The 5.6mm lead is significantly thicker than a typical mechanical pencil, which means it marks on virtually any surface including rough, wet, or textured materials that would shred a thinner lead. It works on Rite in the Rain paper, lumber, concrete, and just about anything else you need to mark in the field.

The triangular barrel with textured grip sits naturally in the hand and does not roll off surfaces when you set it down. The easy click gravity lead release advances lead quickly without fussing with a mechanism, and the plated brass clutch grips the lead firmly during writing without slipping. Three extra packs of lead are included so you are not immediately hunting for refills after the first use.

At 5.13 inches overall with a built-in pocket clip it carries easily in a shirt pocket, chest pocket, or notebook cover. The all-weather rust resistant construction handles rain, mud, and field conditions without corroding or seizing up. The orange color makes it easy to spot and retrieve when you set it down on a dark or cluttered surface.

Best for: Forestry, surveying, construction, lumber marking, fieldwork, law enforcement, military, or anyone who needs a heavy-duty pencil that marks on rough surfaces in any weather.
