Being a mechanical pencil, it remains the same size it's entire life, unlike traditional carpenter pencils that get too small to hold. The lead is thick enough & the barrel strong enough, that despite dropping it I've never had the lead break inside. The built-in sharpener under the eraser returns the lead to a sharp point for finish carpentry & for scribing with tools that have measurement notches. I keep one loaded with graphite & one loaded with read for use on different materials. After trying other styles of mechanical carpentry pencils, I believe I'm done searching for an alternative to traditional pencils.

I bought a couple of these pencils,but they only came with one graphite, one red crayon, and a soapstone piece. Nobody told me how to sharpen them so I got an old fashioned sharpener with the wheel for different sized pencils and luckily the smallest of them fit the fat boy lead, but maybe mine were thrown around during shipping or something but I didn't understand why they would send 5 lumber crayons and one lead and you can only use about half of the lead, crayon, etc. Because it is too small to hold and sharpen. I will say that when they're sharpened and working properly it saves me from carrying 4 or 5 sharp pencil because I do stairs and we constantly have to have a sharp lead and it was awesome before it ran out of lead. Now I'm having to order lead and it's more than the pencil itself so consider that you're making an obligation to the fat boy if you buy it but I can't be sure it's worth the worry or headache that comes along with it. Hope this helps if you're on the fence about buying oneRead full review

Love it already! Very useful and functional on the job. A coworker strongly recommended me a fatboy and it doesn't disappoint!! The extra colors don't hurt either!!!!!
