A new spin on the traditional carpenters pencil, the Swanson AlwaysSharp contains eight replacement tips in the body, so you can ditch the sharpener. When a lead wears out, just pull out a replacement and swap it with the old one. The tips last longer, too, since they’re not ground up in the sharpener, and a plastic cap protects the tip when you’re not using it.
The AlwaysSharp costs a bit more than traditional pencils: about $2 for two.

- Framing square
- Try square
- Miter gauge
- Angle Finder
- Saw Guide
