Works better that traditional woodworking pencils. Allows to you to make a more accurate line and the holder is awesome and very sturdy. Ease to use, built in sharpener helps make a fine tip. Only complaint is that it sticks up pretty far out of the pouch and I'm always hitting the top button getting it out of the holder. Then i have to slide the lead back in, but oh well might take some getting use to. Writes on everything. I would for sure buy another one and totally worth the money. Review: The best I have found - This is the best mechanical carpenter's pencil that I have found. It has several nice features. 1. Sheath - it has a holster which works great. The holster stays securely connected to my pocket, belt, apron. The pencil stays securely in the sheath even if you just drop it in. The sheath is round so that you can drop the pencil in without lining anything up. I like my Thorvald, but with no sheath it is much more work to take it in and out of pockets and toolbelts. One of the teeth that holds the Thorvald broke quickly. 2. Cap - The cap stays on solidly. Most of the time I grabbed my Thorvald, the cap came out but the pencil stayed. 3. Sharpener - The sharpener gives a very nice, sharp tip that still does not break too much. The downside to the sharpener is that you have to pull the sheath out to sharpen the pencil. Not too big of a deal because I do not need to sharpen often. 4. Lead holding, loading, advancement - the leads go in easily, advance nicely and does not slip. 5. Ability to mark in deep pockets. The end tube is pretty thin (similar to almost all of its competetors) making it easier to mark inside small diameter wholes. You can also advance the lead quite a ways, so you can mark in any hole as wide as the lead diameter. The only downside to the pica is that it is round, so more likely to roll off of a table. There is a roll stop in the collar, but it is still more prone to roll than something like the ox. Still, I prefer the round Pica because it makes it easier to drop into the sheath. The Pica leads seem to be great, but I went with the Hultafors refill pack. They are slightly different diameter to the Pica leads, but work just fine. I went with the Hultafors refill pack because of the cool dispenser that clips on my tool pouch. That way I always have refills with me. Tracer makes a similar, even smaller refill. If you are looking for a mechanical carpenter's pencil, buy the Pica Dry. It works great. ## Features - Designed with the user in mind ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B002X7Y90U | | Additional Features | Pocket Clip | | Age Range (Description) | Kid, Teen, Adult | | Age Range Description | Kid, Teen, Adult | | Best Sellers Rank | #1,676 in Office Products ( See Top 100 in Office Products ) #20 in Mechanical Pencils | | Body Shape | Round | | Brand | Pica | | Brand Name | Pica | | Color | green | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 26,071 Reviews | | Drill Point | Medium | | Global Trade Identification Number | 04260056150258, 04260056150371 | | Grip Type | Smooth | | Hand Orientation | Ambidextrous | | Hardness | 2B | | Included Components | Pica - 3030 | | Ink Base | Water | | Ink Color | Grün | | Item Diameter | 3 Millimeters | | Item Dimensions | 5.91 x 0.79 x 0.79 inches | | Item Type Name | Pica - 3030 | | Item Weight | 0.02 Kilograms | | Line Size | 2mm and Above | | Manufacturer | Pica-Marker GmbH | | Material | Graphite | | Material Type | Graphite | | Model Name | Pica-Dry | | Model Number | Pica - 3030 | | Pattern | Single | | Recommended Uses For Product | Drawing, Writing | | Style | Mechanical Pencils | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Water Resistance Level | Water Resistant | | Writing Instrument Form | Mechanical Graphite Pencil | | Writing Technique | pencil lead | ## Product Details - **Age Range (Description):** Kid, Teen, Adult - **Brand:** Pica - **Color:** green - **Ink Color:** Grün - **Writing Instrument Form:** Mechanical Graphite Pencil ## Images ![Dry Longlife Automatic Pencil 3030 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51Y8Prwl1IL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Is the refill easy to break?** A: If you have it out too far it can break but we use this quite a bit and don’t have a problem. We use this on darker lumber in our wood shop with the white refill. Love it. **Q: I need to mark up dark wood. Is there a white pencil lead for this?** A: There are multi-color refills for the Pica-Dry Long-life Pencile. I use the white refills on dark wood such as Brazilian cherry, and the black refills on lighter wood such as maple and oak. **Q: Why does it say the brand is Picard Hammer?** A: It’s the same thing. It’s pica brand. **Q: Does it come with the neon green sheath with sharperer?** A: Yes it does. Best pencil you can buy! ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Love this pencil *by J***N on April 4, 2026* Great! Works better that traditional woodworking pencils.

Love how it hooks on my pocket so it is easy to pull out and use then put right back. The sharpener also works nicely. Now I just have to stop forgetting to take it out of my pocket when I am done working. ## Frequently Bought Together - Pica-Dry Longlife Automatic Pencil 3030 - Pica Dry Graphite Refill, 4030, 10 Pack - Pica Dry Pencil Refills for 3030 Markers 2 x Red, 2 x Yellow, 4 x Black 4020 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.in/products/45079553-dry-longlife-automatic-pencil-3030](https://www.desertcart.in/products/45079553-dry-longlife-automatic-pencil-3030) --- *Product available on Desertcart India* *Store origin: IN* *Last updated: 2026-05-30*
