Pencils.

Swmbo looked over my shoulder the other day when I was viewing the pencil thread.

IIRC there was a amazon link to a packet of pencils for £23.

When she returned from the shops yesterday she brought these, picked up in the pound shop, for guess how much.

I estimate the lead to be 0.6mm, not used much yet but they work and there's a clip which keeps one in my overalls where I put it.

Having used these for a few weeks now I've come to the conclusion, they're not up to the task.

Might just be ok on par timber but not robust enough for rough sawn.
